Huawei CloudEngine CE6880-48S4Q2CQ-EI – Product Documentation
Product Overview
The Huawei CloudEngine CE6880-48S4Q2CQ-EI is a high-performance, high-density 10GE Top-of-Rack (ToR) data center switch designed for cloud-scale and enterprise networking environments. Housed in a compact 1U form factor, this switch delivers ultra-low latency (sub-2 microseconds) and robust forwarding performance, making it an ideal solution for spine-leaf architectures and mission-critical data center deployments.
The CE6880-48S4Q2CQ-EI provides 48 x 10GE SFP+ access ports alongside flexible 40GE/100GE uplink capabilities, enabling seamless network scalability. It supports advanced virtualization features including VXLAN, BGP-EVPN, M-LAG, and iStack, which simplifies network design and enhances operational efficiency. The switch integrates with SDN controllers and cloud platforms through open APIs and supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for automated deployment. With dual redundant power supplies and modular fan assemblies supporting front-to-back or back-to-front airflow, it ensures high reliability and flexible deployment options across diverse data center environments.
