Huawei CloudEngine CE6885-48YS8CQ Data Center Switch
Product Overview
The Huawei CloudEngine CE6885-48YS8CQ is a next-generation, high-performance, high-density fixed 1RU data center switch designed for top-of-rack (ToR) access and aggregation deployments. It delivers 48 x 25GE SFP28 downlink ports (configurable to 10GE or 50GE with license upgrade) and 8 x 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports (configurable to 40GE or 200GE with license upgrade), providing exceptional port density for modern cloud data centers .
With a switching capacity of 8 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 1,200 Mpps, the switch supports advanced data center features including VXLAN/BGP-EVPN, M-LAG for multi-device link aggregation, RoCEv2 for lossless networking, and comprehensive telemetry for intelligent operations . The CE6885-48YS8CQ can work seamlessly with Huawei CloudEngine 16800, 16800-X, or 8800 series core switches to build elastic, virtualized, and high-quality 40GE/100GE/200GE fully-connected data center networks . It is equally suited for campus network core or aggregation deployments.
Key capabilities include hardware-based VXLAN gateway functionality, AI-driven congestion control (AI-ECN), PFC deadlock prevention, MACsec security, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for automated deployment . The switch features 1+1 redundant hot-swappable power modules, N+1 redundant hot-swappable fan trays, and flexible airflow direction options to optimize data center energy efficiency .
