Huawei CloudEngine CE6881H-48S6CQ Switch – Product Documentation

Name: Huawei CloudEngine CE6881H-48S6CQ - Refurbished & Tested - SunSpike
Brand: HUAWEI
SKU: CE6881H-48S6CQ

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6881H-48S6CQ is a high‑performance, fixed‑form factor data center switch designed for high‑density 10GE server access. It belongs to Huawei’s CloudEngine 6881H series and is purpose‑built for modern cloud‑scale data centers, offering a compelling balance of port density, performance, and advanced feature support .

The switch provides 48 x 10GE SFP+ ports for server connectivity and 6 x 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports that can also operate as 40GE QSFP+ ports, delivering flexible uplink options to core or aggregation layers . With a switching capacity of 2.16 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 954 Mpps, it is well‑suited for top‑of‑rack (ToR) and end‑of‑row (EoR) deployments .

The CE6881H-48S6CQ is built on Huawei’s VRP8 operating system and the YunShan platform, supporting advanced data center features including VXLAN with BGP‑EVPN for network virtualization, M‑LAG for multi‑device link aggregation and high availability, and RoCE v1/v2 with PFC/ECN for lossless Ethernet . The switch also supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) , Telemetry, and integration with iMaster NCE‑Fabric for intelligent automation and operations .

The hardware features a compact 1 RU chassis with front‑to‑back or back‑to‑front airflow options, redundant hot‑swappable power supplies, and N+1 redundant hot‑swappable fan modules, making it suitable for deployment in diverse data center environments .
