Huawei CloudEngine CE6885-LL-56F Product Documentation
Product Overview
The Huawei CloudEngine CE6885-LL-56F is a next-generation, high-density, low-latency fixed 1 RU data center switch purpose-built for securities and financial trading environments where microseconds matter . It provides 48 x 10/25/50 GE SFP28 downlink ports for server access and 8 x 100 GE QSFP28 uplink ports for spine/core connectivity .
Designed for top-of-rack (ToR) and spine-leaf architectures, the CE6885-LL-56F delivers 8 Tbps switching capacity with 1,200 Mpps forwarding performance . Its advanced hardware architecture supports low-latency hardware forwarding, with minimum L2/L3 forwarding latency of 320-350 ns in standard mode . The switch features dual 600 W AC power modules with 1+1 redundancy and five hot-swappable fan trays for enhanced reliability .
The CE6885-LL-56F is optimized for lossless Ethernet fabrics supporting RoCE v2, providing PFC, ECN, and AI-ECN congestion management . It fully supports VXLAN with BGP-EVPN for network virtualization, M-LAG for multi-device link aggregation, and MACsec for link-layer security . Advanced telemetry capabilities, including Telemetry, Packet Event for packet loss visualization, and VXLAN OAM (ping/tracert), enable intelligent operations and network visibility . The switch also supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and integrates with Huawei iMaster NCE-Fabric for automated network deployment and management .
The flexible airflow design supports port-side intake or exhaust configurations, accommodating various data center cooling strategies . The switch measures 442.0 x 420.0 x 43.6 mm and weighs approximately 6.5-7.0 kg without power and fan modules .
