Description

The Huawei CE6880-24S4Q2CQ-EI 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 high-speed uplinks.

It provides 24 × 10GE SFP+ ports, 4 × 40GE QSFP+ ports, and 2 × 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports, enabling flexible high-bandwidth connectivity for server access and spine aggregation in modern data center fabrics.

This model is widely deployed in data center leaf layers and aggregation layers, supporting scalable, low-latency, and non-blocking switching for cloud computing and virtualization environments.

It supports advanced data center networking features 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 slots with 1+1 redundancy support
• Dual fan modules for high-efficiency cooling and reliability
• Front-to-back or back-to-front airflow depending on deployment design

It supports flexible optical and high-speed interconnect options:

• 10GE SFP+ optical modules or DAC/AOC cables
• 40GE QSFP+ uplinks and stacking/peer-link capabilities
• 100GE QSFP28 uplinks for spine-level connectivity

Key performance highlights:

• Designed for high-density 10G access aggregation
• Supports large-scale virtualization-ready data center networks
• Optimized for low latency and high throughput cloud workloads

Typical deployment scenarios include:

• Enterprise and cloud data center leaf/spine networks
• Virtualized infrastructure and private cloud environments
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Core aggregation in large campus/data center hybrids
