Huawei CloudEngine CE6856-48T6Q-HI Product Documentation
Product Overview
The Huawei CloudEngine CE6856-48T6Q-HI is a high-performance, next-generation Top-of-Rack (ToR) data center switch designed for high-density 10GE access and flexible 40GE uplink connectivity . It features 48 x 10GE Base-T ports for server access and 6 x 40GE QSFP+ ports for uplink or spine connectivity, making it an ideal solution for cloud computing data centers and high-end campus networks .
Built on Huawei’s Versatile Routing Platform (VRP8), this switch supports rich data center features including M-LAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) for device-level redundancy, VXLAN for network virtualization, and comprehensive Layer 2/Layer 3 capabilities . The CE6856-48T6Q-HI offers flexible airflow direction (front-to-back or back-to-front) and supports 1+1 power module redundancy, ensuring high availability for mission-critical environments .
The switch delivers a switching capacity of 2.56 Tbps (expandable to 40.96 Tbps) and a forwarding rate of 1080 Mpps, providing wire-speed performance for bandwidth-intensive applications . With zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) support and open programmability through Python scripts, the CE6856-48T6Q-HI simplifies network deployment and operations in large-scale data center environments .
