Huawei CloudEngine CE6863H-48S6CQ Product Documentation

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6863H-48S6CQ is a next-generation, high-performance 25GE access switch designed primarily for modern data center networks (DCNs). Built on Huawei’s advanced YunShan platform, this 1U form-factor switch provides high-density 25GE server access alongside high-speed 100GE uplink capabilities . It is engineered to address the demanding requirements of cloud computing, offering a blend of high throughput, low latency, and extensive virtualization features.

As a top-of-rack (ToR) switch, the CE6863H-48S6CQ enables a smooth network evolution from 10GE to 25GE. It provides 48 x 25GE SFP28 downlink ports, which are backward compatible with 10GE SFP+, and 6 x 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports that can also be configured as 40GE ports for flexible networking . The switch supports a comprehensive suite of data center features, including VXLAN with BGP-EVPN for network virtualization, M-LAG for multi-device link aggregation and high reliability, and programmability through open APIs and an onboard OPS module for integration with cloud platforms and third-party controllers . This makes it an ideal building block for constructing elastic, virtualized, and high-quality 100GE fully-connected networks for the cloud era, and it can also serve as a core or aggregation switch in campus networks .
