Huawei CE6881-48S6CQ Data Center Switch

Description

The Huawei CE6881-48S6CQ 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 with high-speed 40GE/100GE uplinks.

It provides 48 × 10GE SFP+ ports for server access and 6 × 40GE/100GE QSFP28 uplink ports, enabling flexible and high-bandwidth aggregation in modern data center fabrics.

This switch is typically deployed in:

• Data center leaf (Top-of-Rack) switching layers
• Spine or aggregation layers in cloud networks
• Enterprise private cloud infrastructure
• Virtualized and HPC (High-Performance Computing) environments

It supports advanced data center networking technologies including:

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

From a hardware perspective:

• 1U high-density chassis design
• Dual power supply slots with 1+1 redundancy support
• Hot-swappable fan modules (N+1 redundancy design)
• Front-to-back or back-to-front airflow options depending on deployment
• Designed for carrier-grade reliability in data center environments

The CE6881-48S6CQ is optimized for high-density 10GE access and 40GE/100GE uplink aggregation, making it suitable for scalable cloud infrastructures and modern virtualized workloads.
