Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6810-48S4Q-EI is a high-performance, high-density 10GE top-of-rack (ToR) data center switch designed for cloud computing and enterprise data center environments. It belongs to the CloudEngine 6800 series and provides 48 x 10GE SFP+ downlink ports and 4 x 40GE QSFP+ uplink ports, with a switching capacity of 1.28 Tbit/s and a forwarding rate of 960 Mpps.

The switch supports advanced data center features including TRILL for large-scale Layer 2 networks, FCoE for network convergence of storage and data traffic, and iStack for device virtualization stacking of up to 16 units. It is also SDN-ready with support for OpenFlow and the Open Programmability System (OPS), enabling flexible network automation and integration with cloud platforms.

Key highlights of the CE6810-48S4Q-EI include:

High-density 10GE access: 48 SFP+ ports with 4 x 40GE QSFP+ uplinks, supporting 40GE-to-4x10GE breakout
Flexible airflow design: Supports both front-to-back and back-to-front airflow for data center hot/cold aisle deployment
Comprehensive virtualization: iStack, SVF (as leaf node), TRILL, and VXLAN support
Network convergence: FCoE with DCBX, PFC, and ETS for lossless Ethernet
Programmability and automation: OPS, Python scripting, ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning), and Puppet/OVSDB plugin support
