Name: Huawei CloudEngine CE6863H-48S6CQ-K - Refurbished & Tested - SunSpike
Brand: HUAWEI
SKU: CE6863H-48S6CQ-K

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6863H-48S6CQ-K is a next-generation, high-density 25GE access switch purpose-built for modern data center networks (DCNs). As part of the CloudEngine 6800 series, it leverages Huawei’s YunShan platform to deliver high performance, flexible deployment, and robust programmability . This switch is designed to serve as a top-of-rack (ToR) access layer device, providing 48 × 25GE SFP28 downlink ports and 6 × 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports, enabling enterprises and carriers to build elastic, virtualized, and high-quality 100GE fully-connected networks for the cloud computing era . Beyond data center deployments, it can also function as a core or aggregation switch in large campus networks .

The CE6863H-48S6CQ-K supports extensive data center features including VXLAN routing and bridging, BGP-EVPN for control plane simplification, and M-LAG for multi-device link aggregation, ensuring high reliability and seamless workload mobility . Its open programmability system (OPS) and NetConf/YANG support facilitate integration with mainstream cloud platforms and SDN controllers like Huawei’s iMaster NCE-Fabric, enabling automated operations and intelligent network management .
