Product Overview
Huawei CloudEngine CE8861‑4C‑EI is a 2U modular leaf/aggregation switch of the CloudEngine 8800 series for cloud‑data‑center and high‑end campus networks, running on Huawei VRP8 operating system. It features 4 hot‑swappable subcard slots for flexible interface expansion. Depending on installed subcards, it supports up to 32×100GE QSFP28, 64×40GE, 128×25GE / 10GE ports or FC storage interfaces. It supports iStack stacking, M‑LAG multi‑chassis link aggregation, hardware‑accelerated BGP‑EVPN VXLAN, RoCE‑v2 lossless Ethernet, MACsec and rich automation capabilities. It can be deployed as leaf TOR, aggregation node in spine‑leaf fabrics, or core switch for large‑scale enterprise and campus networks.
