SKU: CE6881H-48T6CQ

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6881H-48T6CQ is a next-generation, high-performance 10GE access switch purpose-built for modern data centers and high-end campus networks. Featuring a compact 1RU form factor, it delivers high-density server connectivity with 48 x 10GE Base-T ports and provides flexible, high-bandwidth uplinks through 6 x 100GE QSFP28 ports (which can also operate in 40GE mode) .

Built on Huawei’s VRP8 software platform, the CE6881H-48T6CQ integrates advanced data center features essential for cloud computing environments. It supports robust virtualization capabilities with VXLAN and BGP-EVPN, enabling large-scale multi-tenant network segmentation and overlay network orchestration . The switch also features M-LAG for multi-device link aggregation, ensuring high availability and active-active load balancing across redundant links .

Designed for operational efficiency, the CE6881H-48T6CQ supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for automated deployment, and employs Telemetry for real-time network monitoring and intelligent operations . Its flexible airflow design (front-to-back or back-to-front) and redundant, hot-swappable power and fan modules optimize cooling and ensure service continuity in diverse data center environments .
