Huawei CloudEngine CE6880-24S4Q2CQ-EI: Product Documentation

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6880-24S4Q2CQ-EI is a high-performance, next-generation 10GE access switch purpose-built for cloud-scale data center networks and high-end campus networks. As part of the CloudEngine 6800 series, this 1U form-factor switch delivers exceptional port density, low latency, and advanced programmability to meet the demands of modern virtualized environments, hybrid cloud architectures, and software-defined networking (SDN) infrastructures.

The switch features a versatile port configuration with 24 x 10GE SFP+ access ports, 4 x 40GE QSFP+ uplink ports, and 2 x 40GE/100GE QSFP28 uplink ports, providing a clear migration path from 10G to 100G network infrastructures. Powered by the programmable ENP 2.0 chip, it supports advanced features including VXLAN L2 and L3 gateway capabilities, BGP-EVPN control plane, and MPLS, enabling robust network virtualization and multi-tenancy support.

The CE6880-24S4Q2CQ-EI is designed for flexible deployment as a Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch in data center access layers, or as an aggregation/core device in campus networks. It supports iStack device virtualization for simplified management and scalability, M-LAG for multi-chassis link aggregation, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for automated deployment. With strict front-to-back or back-to-front airflow designs, redundant power supplies, and hot-swappable fan modules, it ensures high availability and optimal cooling efficiency in data center environments. Its integration with SDN controllers, support for NETCONF, Ansible automation, and telemetry-based intelligent O&M make it a future-ready solution for cloud and enterprise networks.
