Huawei CloudEngine CE6885L-48YS8CQ Data Center Switch

Name: Huawei CloudEngine CE6885L-48YS8CQ - Refurbished & Tested - SunSpike
Brand: HUAWEI
SKU: CE6885L-48YS8CQ

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6885L-48YS8CQ is a high-performance, fixed-form-factor data center switch designed for next-generation server access in cloud data centers. This 1RU switch delivers high-density 25GE/10GE/1GE server connectivity with 48 x SFP28 downlink ports and 8 x 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports, providing flexible, scalable network architectures for modern cloud environments .

The CE6885L-48YS8CQ serves as a top-of-rack (ToR) switch, supporting high-speed server access and seamless integration with core switches such as the CloudEngine 16800, 16800-X, or 8800 series. It offers advanced features including VXLAN/BGP-EVPN for network virtualization, M-LAG for multi-device link aggregation and high availability, and intelligent lossless network capabilities (PFC, AI ECN) optimized for RoCEv2 traffic. The switch incorporates comprehensive telemetry, IFIT, and Packet Event technologies for intelligent operations and maintenance, enabling proactive fault detection and root cause analysis. It supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for automated deployment, reducing operational complexity and accelerating service provisioning .

The platform is built on a flexible, programmable architecture supporting NETCONF, Open Programmability System (OPS), and integration with Huawei iMaster NCE-Fabric for automated, intent-based network management. The switch also features MACsec for link-layer security, flexible airflow direction, and 1+1 redundant, hot-swappable power supplies with N+1 fan redundancy .
