Huawei CloudEngine CE6855‑48S6Q‑HI High‑Performance Fixed Data‑Center Switch

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6855‑48S6Q‑HI is a 1‑rack‑unit high‑density fixed‑port Layer2‑Layer3 switch from CloudEngine 6800 series, running on Huawei VRP‑8 operating system. It provides 48×10GE SFP+ downlink ports and 6×40GE QSFP+ uplink ports; QSFP+ interfaces support 1‑to‑4 breakout into 10GE ports for flexible port expansion. Optimized for low‑latency 10GE ToR leaf access in cloud data‑centers, it supports iStack stacking, M‑LAG, TRILL, VXLAN‑EVPN and SVF vertical virtualization to build elastic CloudFabric networks. It can also be deployed as high‑performance aggregation or core switch for large‑enterprise campus and safe‑city video‑surveillance networks. Hot‑swappable power and fan modules are sold separately.

Compact short‑depth high‑performance hardware platform: 1U 19‑inch short‑depth rack‑mount chassis, 48 line‑speed 10GE SFP+ ports and 6×40GE QSFP+ uplink slots with breakout capability. iStack stacking and M‑LAG deliver millisecond‑level link fail‑over. Supports configurable front‑to‑back or back‑to‑front airflow to adapt to diverse cabinet layouts. Hot‑swappable power and fan modules support 1+1 redundancy.
Full‑feature Layer 2 / Layer 3 and data‑center protocol stack: IPv4/IPv6 dual‑stack, static routing, RIP, OSPF, IS‑IS, BGP, VRRP, ECMP and hardware‑accelerated BFD. Rich Layer‑2 capabilities: 802.1Q VLAN, selective QinQ, STP/RSTP/MSTP, LACP link aggregation. Supports TRILL, VXLAN‑EVPN, SVF vertical virtualization. Comprehensive multicast suite: IGMP Snooping, PIM‑SM/DM, MSDP for IPTV and massive high‑definition video‑surveillance traffic forwarding.
Multi‑dimensional security protection: Supports 802.1X, MAC‑based authentication, DHCP Snooping, ARP anti‑spoofing, ACL filtering, DoS‑attack defense, IP source guard, port security and broadcast/multicast/unknown‑unicast storm suppression, implementing fine‑grained access control and threat mitigation for data‑center and enterprise environments.
Advanced high‑performance QoS: Multi‑field traffic classification based on Layer2‑Layer4 headers; supports SP, WRR, DRR queue scheduling, traffic policing, shaping and WRED congestion‑avoidance mechanisms to guarantee transmission quality for critical services and video streams.
Carrier‑grade high‑availability design: Hot‑swappable power and fan modules; supports stack redundancy, M‑LAG and link‑level fast‑protection mechanisms to reduce service‑interruption risks.
Open and intelligent O&M: Supports Zero‑Touch Provisioning, OPS open‑programmable capability. Management interfaces include Console CLI, SSH, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Syslog, FTP/SFTP, out‑of‑band Ethernet management port and USB port. Compatible with Huawei iMaster NCE‑Campus for centralized deployment and monitoring of large‑scale networks.

Application Scenarios

Primarily deployed as high‑density 10GE top‑of‑rack leaf access switch inside cloud‑computing data‑centers, connecting downstream 10GE servers and uplinking to aggregation/spine layers over 40GE interfaces. Thanks to short‑depth chassis design, it fits cabinets with limited installation depth. Also applicable as high‑performance aggregation‑layer or small‑size core‑layer device for large‑enterprise campus networks and mega‑scale safe‑city video‑surveillance networks. Cooperates with high‑end core switches such as CloudEngine 12800 series to build elastic virtualized data‑center fabric networks.
