Name: Huawei CloudEngine CE6851-48S6Q-HI - Refurbished & Tested - SunSpike
Brand: HUAWEI
SKU: CE6851-48S6Q-HI

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6851-48S6Q-HI is a high-performance, fixed-configuration 1U top-of-rack (ToR) switch designed for next-generation data centers and high-end campus networks. It provides high-density 10GE server access with 48 x 10GE SFP+ ports and 6 x 40GE QSFP+ uplink ports. Each 40GE port can be split into four 10GE ports, offering flexible deployment options.

This switch is positioned as an access-layer device for data centers, supporting advanced virtualization technologies such as iStack (up to 16 units stacked) and SVF (Super Virtual Fabric). It also features comprehensive network virtualization capabilities, including VXLAN and BGP-EVPN, making it suitable for cloud infrastructure deployments. The CE6851-48S6Q-HI supports programmability via OpenFlow, OPS, and Ansible, and includes automation features like Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP).

The switch features modular power supply and fan units with 1+1 power redundancy and hot-swappable fans. The airflow direction (front-to-back or back-to-front) depends on the specific order code, which must be matched with the corresponding power modules and fan boxes.
