Huawei CE6857-EI-B-B0A Data Center Switch

Description

The Huawei CE6857-EI-B-B0A is a high-performance fixed-configuration data center switch from the Huawei CloudEngine 6800 series, designed for leaf/spine architectures in enterprise and cloud data centers requiring high-density 10GE access and 100GE uplink connectivity.

It provides 48 × 10GE SFP+ ports for server/access connectivity and 6 × 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports, enabling high-bandwidth aggregation and spine-layer deployment in modern data center fabrics.

This model is widely used in:

• Data center leaf (Top-of-Rack) switching layers
• Spine/aggregation layers in cloud networks
• Enterprise private cloud infrastructure
• High-performance computing (HPC) environments

It supports advanced data center technologies including:

• VXLAN for network virtualization
• EVPN (software dependent)
• M-LAG (multi-chassis link aggregation)
• BFD for fast failure detection
• Advanced QoS and traffic engineering

From a hardware perspective:

• 1U high-density chassis design
• Dual power supply modules with 1+1 redundancy
• Hot-swappable fan modules with redundant cooling design
• Front-to-back or back-to-front airflow options depending on deployment
• Carrier-grade reliability designed for continuous operation in data centers

Key performance characteristics:

• Designed for high-density 10GE access switching
• High-speed 100GE uplinks for spine connectivity
• Optimized for low-latency, cloud-scale workloads
• Typical power consumption around ~287W (max, depending on configuration)
