Comprehensive Virtualization Capabilities Implement Simple, Efficient Networking
VS Implements On-demand Resource Sharing

 High device virtualization capability: The CloudEngine 12800 uses Virtual System (VS) technology to provide an industry-
leading virtualization capability that enables one switch to be virtualized into as many as 16 logical switches. This 1:16 ratio
enables one core switch to manage services for an enterprise's multiple service areas such as production, office, and DMZ, or
for multiple tenants.
 Higher security and reliability: VS technology divides a network into separate logical areas for service isolation. The failure
of one virtual switch does not affect other virtual switches, enhancing network security.
 Lower CAPEX: VS technology improves the use efficiency of physical devices by implementing on-demand resource
allocation. This ensures network scalability and reduces investment in devices.
 Lower OPEX: Using one physical device to implement multiple logical devices saves space in a data center equipment
room and reduces the cost of device maintenance.
CSS Simplifies Network Management

 The CloudEngine 12800 uses industry-leading Cluster Switch System (CSS) technology, which can virtualize two physical
switches into one logical switch to facilitate network management and improve reliability.
 The CloudEngine 12800 provides a dedicated system inter-connect port and separates the control channel from the
service channel, improving reliability.
 The CloudEngine 12800 provides a cluster bandwidth of 3.2 Tbps. This super-high bandwidth prevents traffic bottlenecks
on data center networks.
 The CloudEngine 12800 combines CSS and VS technologies to turn a network into a resource pool, enabling network
resources to be allocated on demand. This on-demand resource allocation is ideal for the cloud-computing service model.
Network-Wide Reliability, Ensuring Zero Service Interruptions

 The management and control planes on one Multichassis Link Aggregation Group (M-LAG) node are independent from
that on the other, which substantially improves system reliability.
 The two nodes of an M-LAG can be upgraded independently from each other. During the upgrade of one node, the other
node takes over forwarding the services on the first node, ensuring that the services remain uninterrupted.
 M-LAG is able to seamlessly collaborate with CSS, thus enabling highly reliable 4-to-1 virtualization.
 With the comprehensive inter-device link aggregation technology, the device networking coupling relationship evolves from
stacking at the control plane to the use of M-LAG and then finally to coupling-free M-LAG Lite. This achieves active-active
server access and zero interruption of services when upgrading switches.

of an overlay network (VXLAN), a CloudEngine series switch can support more than 16 million tenants.
 The CloudEngine 12800 can connect to a cloud platform using open API, allowing for unified management of software and
hardware networks.

 This function implements fast service deployment without changing the customer network. It also protects customer
investments.
VXLAN and EVPN Enable Flexible Expansion Within and Across Data Centers
 The CloudEngine 12800 supports Border Gateway Protocol - Ethernet VPN (BGP-EVPN), which can run as the VXLAN
control plane to simplify VXLAN deployment.
 BGP-EVPN triggers automatic VXLAN tunnel setup between virtual tunnel endpoints (VTEPs), removing the need for full-
mesh tunnel configuration. BGP-EVPN also reduces flooding of unknown traffic by advertising MAC routes on the control plane.
With this protocol, large Layer 2 networks can be established for data centers.
 Because BGP-EVPN is a standard protocol, the CloudEngine 12800 is interoperable with devices from other vendors,
enabling long-term network evolution.
 The CloudEngine 12800 supports centralized and distributed VXLAN deployment and supports various VXLAN access
modes, including QinQ access VXLAN and IPv6 over VXLAN. This allows for flexible customization of heterogeneous networks.
 EVPN and VXLAN can be used to set up Layer 2 interconnections between data centers, enabling active-active VXLAN
deployment across data centers and conserving DCI link bandwidth.
 The CloudEngine 12800 supports IP packet fragmentation and reassembling, enabling oversized IP packets to travel
across a WAN network without limited by the MTU. The switch can also identify fragmented packets to seamlessly interconnect
with routers.
 The CloudEngine 12800 supports VXLAN mapping, implementing interconnection between multiple DCs at Layer 2,
unified service provisioning and O&M, and inter-DC resource sharing.
Multicast-capable Distributed Gateways Implement On-demand Traffic Forwarding

cloud platforms). The OPS enables services to be flexibly 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 service-oriented, software-
defined networking.
Standard Interfaces Provide Openness and Interoperability

 The CloudEngine 12800 supports NETCONF/OpenFlow. It can work with Huawei Agile Controller .
 The CloudEngine 12800 provides the standard NETCONF interface for third-party software to invoke. This enables
programming of functions and integration with third-party software, providing openness and flexibility.
 You can use CloudEngine modules for Ansible released on open-source websites and Ansible tools to automate network
deployment, simplifying device management and maintenance. Through in-depth collaboration with mainstream cloud platforms,
and O&M tools, the CloudEngine 12800 series switches can be integrated into SDN and cloud computing platforms flexibly and
quickly.
ZTP, Agile Network Deployment

 The CloudEngine 12800 supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). ZTP enables the CloudEngine 12800 to automatically
obtain and load version files from a USB flash drive or file server, freeing network engineers from onsite configuration or
deployment. ZTP reduces labor costs and improves device deployment efficiency.
 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 unified configuration of network devices.

 ZTP decouples configuration time of new devices from device quantity and area distribution, which improves service
provisioning efficiency.
Intelligent O&M with the FabricInsight Solution

 The CloudEngine 12800 provides proactive path detection on the entire network. It periodically checks sample flows to
determine connectivity of all paths on the network and locates failure points, enabling you to know the network health in real
time.
 The CloudEngine 12800 supports visualization of all flows and congestion, improving service experience.
 The Segment Routing (SR) capability of the CloudEngine 12800 implements label-based packet forwarding, regardless of
service types. This feature enables automatic optimization and switching of end-to-end links.
Advanced Architecture Ensures Industry-Leading Network Quality
High-Performance, Non-blocking Switching Architecture

 The CloudEngine 12800 has a non-blocking switching architecture that is characterized by its orthogonal switch fabric
design, Clos architecture, cell switching, Virtual Output Queuing (VoQ), and super-large buffer size.
 Orthogonal switch fabric design: CloudEngine 12800 service line cards and switch fabric units (SFUs) use an orthogonal
design in which service traffic between line cards is directly sent to the SFUs through orthogonal connectors. This approach
reduces backplane cabling and minimizes signal attenuation. The orthogonal design can support signal rates as high as 25
Gbps per SerDes, which is 2.5 times the industry average. This design greatly improves system bandwidth and evolution
capabilities, enabling the system switching capacity to scale to more than 100 Tbps.
 Clos architecture: The CloudEngine 12800's three-level Clos architecture permits flexible expansion of switch fabric
capacity. The architecture uses Variable Size Cell (VSC) and provides dynamic routing. Load balancing among multiple switch
fabrics prevents the switching matrix from being blocked and easily copes with complex, volatile traffic in data centers.
 VoQ: The CloudEngine 12800 supports 96,000 VoQ queues that implement fine-grained Quality of Service (QoS) based
on the switch fabrics. With the VOQ mechanism and super-large buffer on inbound interfaces, the CloudEngine 12800 creates
independent VOQ queues on inbound interfaces to perform end-to-end flow control on traffic destined for different outbound
interfaces. This method ensures unified service scheduling and sequenced forwarding and implements non-blocking switching.
Highly Reliable Industry-grade Hardware Architecture

 Hot backup of five key components: Main Processing Units (MPUs) and Centralized Monitoring Unit (CMUs) work in 1+1
hot backup mode. SFUs work in N+M hot backup mode. Power supplies support dual inputs and N+N backup and have their
own fans. Both fan trays work in 1+1 backup mode; each fan tray has two counter-rotating fans working in 1+1 backup mode,
ensuring efficient heat dissipation.
 Redundancy of three types of major buses: Monitoring, management, and data buses all work in 1+1 backup mode. Bus
redundancy ensures reliable signal transmission.
 Independent triple-plane design: The independent control, data, and monitoring planes of the CloudEngine 12800 improve
system reliability and ensure service continuity.
High-Performance VRP8 Software Architecture

 The CloudEngine 12800 takes advantage of Huawei's next-generation VRP8, a high-performance, highly reliable modular
software platform that provides continuous services.
 Fine-grained distributed architecture: VRP8, the industry's high-end software platform, uses a fine-grained, fully distributed
architecture that can process network protocols and services concurrently using multiple instances. This architecture takes full
advantage of multi-core/multi-CPU processes to maximize performance and reliability.
Pioneering Energy-saving Technology
Strict Front-to-Back Airflow Design

 The CloudEngine 12800 uses a patented front-to-back airflow design that isolates cold air channels from hot air channels.
This design meets heat dissipation requirements in data center equipment rooms.
 Line cards and SFUs use independent airflow channels, which solve the problems of mixing hot and cold air and cascade
heating, and effectively reduce energy consumption in equipment rooms.
 Each fan tray has two counter-rotating fans, ensuring efficient heat dissipation.

 The fan speed in each area can be dynamically adjusted based on the workload of line cards in the area. This on-demand
cooling design lowers power consumption and reduces noise.
Low Power Consumption

 The CloudEngine 12800 uses innovative energy saving technologies. The port power consumption is merely half of the
industry average. It greatly reduces power consumption in the data center equipment room.
 Miercom has performed a series of strict tests for the CloudEngine 12800, proving its low power consumption.
Efficient, Intelligent Power Supply System

 The CloudEngine 12800 incorporates efficient digital power modules, which provide power efficiency of 96 percent.
 The power supply system measures power consumption in real time and puts one or more power modules into sleep mode
when system power demands are low.
 The CloudEngine 12800 can save energy dynamically by adjusting the power consumption of components to adapt to
changes in service traffic volume.

Networking and Application

Data Center Applications
On a typical data center network, CloudEngine 16800/12800/8800 switches work as core switches, whereas CloudEngine
8800/6800/5800 switches work as ToR switches and connect to the core switches using 100GE/40GE/10GE ports. These
switches use a fabric protocols to establish a non-blocking large Layer 2 network, which allows large-scale VM migrations and
flexible service deployments.
Note: VXLAN can be also used on campus networks to support flexible service deployments in different service areas.

Campus Network Applications
On a typical campus network, multiple CloudEngine 16800/12800/8800 switches are virtualized into a logical core switch using
CSS or iStack technology. Multiple CloudEngine 8800/6800 switches at the aggregation layer form a logical switch using iStack
technology. CSS and iStack improve network reliability and simplify network management.
Note: CSS, iStack, and M-LAG are also widely used in data centers to facilitate network management.
