Product Characteristics
High-density 10GE Access
The CE6800 provides the industry's highest performance in a 1 U TOR. The switch provides forwarding
performance of 1,080 Mpps and supports L2/L3 line-speed forwarding.
The CE6800 not only meets the requirements for high-density 10GE server access, but also provides the
industry's highest 10GE port density in a 1 U TOR with a maximum of 72*10GE ports.
The CE6800 has a maximum of six 40GE QSFP+ ports. Each QSFP+ port can be used as four 10GE SFP+
ports, providing a exible network. CE6800 switches can work with CE12800 switches through the
40GE QSFP+ ports to build a non-blocking network platform.
A stack system of 16 member switches has a maximum of 768*10GE access ports that provide highdensity server access in a data center.
Multiple switches in a stack system are virtualized into one logical device, making it possible to build
a scalable, easy-to-manage data center network platform.
A stack system separates the control plane from the data plane. This eliminates the risk of singlepoint failures and greatly improves system reliability.
The CE6800 can use service ports as stack ports. A stack system can be established with switches in
the same rack or different racks, and even over long distances.
Service and stack bandwidths can be allocated based on the network's scale so that network
resources can be used more efciently.
The CE6800 supports Super Virtual Fabric (SVF), which can virtualize multiple homogeneous or
heterogeneous physical switches into one logical switch to simplify network management and improve
reliability.
SVF implements vertical extension of heterogeneous switches and virtualizes multiple leaf switches into
remote cards of the spine switch, making it easier to install cables in equipment rooms and manage
devices. The CE6850 functions as the spine switch and the CE6810 as the leaf switch.
Huawei's SVF is the rst in the industry to implement local forwarding of leaf switches. When
horizontal trafc is the mainstream trafc in a data center, SVF improves forwarding efciency and
reduces network delay.
The CE6800 supports the IETF Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) protocol and can be
used on a large Layer 2 TRILL network with GE/10GE servers. A TRILL network can contain more than
500 nodes, enabling exible service deployments and large-scale Virtual Machine (VM) migrations.
The TRILL protocol uses a routing mechanism similar to IS-IS and sets a limited Time-to-Live (TTL) value
in packets to prevent Layer 2 loops. This signicantly improves network stability and speeds up network
convergence.
On a TRILL network, all data ows are forwarded quickly using Shortest Path First (SPF) and Equal-cost
Multi-path (ECMP) routing. SPF and ECMP avoid the suboptimal path selection problem in STP and
increase link bandwidth efciency to 100 percent.
The CE6800 supports TRILL-based Layer 2 equal-cost paths, greatly improving links' load balancing
capabilities. The network has a fat-tree architecture that enhances expansion.
The CE6800 can work with a mainstream virtualization platform. As the high-performance, hardware
gateway of an overlay network (VXLAN/NVGRE), the CE6800 can support more than 16M tenants.
The CE6800 can connect to a cloud platform through an open API to provide unied management of
software and hardware networks.
This function implements fast service deployment without changing the customer network. It also
protects customer investments.
Converged Enhanced Ethernet, Data, Storage, and Computing Trafc over One Network
CE6800 series switches support Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), which permits storage, data, and
computing services to be transmitted on one network, reducing the costs of network construction and
maintenance.
CE6800 series switches support centralized FCoE/FC gateway deployment, which makes network O&M
simpler.
Various CE6800 features ensure lossless transmission: Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced
Transmission Selection (ETS) and Data Center Bridging eXchange (DCBX). These features ensure low
latency and zero packet loss for FC storage and high-speed computing services.
The CE6800 works with Huawei's Agile Controller to permit network policies to be dynamically
deployed on the CE6800. Agile Controller also supports online VM migration.
Agile Controller delivers network policies through high-speed RADIUS interfaces. Its online VM migration
is 10 to 20 times the rate of other industry platforms, enabling large-scale VM migrations.
Agile Controller is based on open APIs and is compatible with all major virtualization platforms including
VMware.
The CE6800 uses the Open Programmability System (OPS) embedded in the VRP8 software platform to
provide programmability at the control plane.
The OPS provides open APIs. APIs can be integrated with mainstream cloud platforms (including
commercial and open cloud platforms) and third-party controllers. The OPS enables services to be exibly
customized and provides automatic management.
Users or third-party developers can use open APIs to develop and deploy specialized network
management policies to implement extension of fast service functions, automatic deployment, and
intelligent management. The OPS also implements automatic operation and maintenance, and reduces
management costs.
The OPS provides seamless integration of data center service and network in addition to a serviceoriented, Software-Dened Network (SDN).
The CE6800 supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). ZTP enables the CE6800 to automatically obtain
and load version les from a USB ash drive or le server, freeing network engineers from onsite
conguration or deployment. ZTP reduces labor costs and improves device deployment efciency.
ZTP provides built-in scripts for users through open APIs. Data center personnel can use the programming
language they are familiar with, such as Python, to provide unied conguration of network devices.
ZTP decouples conguration time of new devices from device quantity and area distribution, which
improves service provisioning efciency.
The CE6800 uses a front-to-back/back-to-front airow design that isolates cold air channels from hot
air channels. This design meets heat dissipation requirements in data center equipment rooms.
Air can ow from front to back, or back to front when different fans and power modules are used.
Redundant power modules and fans can be congured to ensure uninterrupted service transmission.
Energy-saving technologies
The CE6800 series switches have energy-saving chips and can measure system power consumption
in real time. Fan speed can be adjusted dynamically based on system consumption. These energysaving technologies reduce O&M costs and contribute to a greener data center.
Clear indicators
Port indicators clearly show port status and port speeds. The 40GE port indicators can show the state
of all the 10GE ports derived from the 40GE ports.
State and stack indicators on both the front and rear panels enable operators to maintain the switch
from either side.
CE6800 series switches support remote positioning. Operators can turn on remote positioning
indicators on the switches they want to maintain, so that they can nd switches easily in an
equipment room full of devices.
Simple maintenance
The management port, fans, and power modules are on the front panel, which facilitates device
maintenance.
Data ports are located at the rear, facing servers. This simplies cabling.
