Product Overview
Huawei CloudEngine 6800 (CE6800 for short) series switches are next-generation
10G/25G Ethernet switches designed for data centers and high-end campus
networks, providing high-performance, high port density, low latency, and large
buffer. CE6800 series switches have an advanced hardware architecture design
with the industry's highest density of 10GE/25GE access ports, and provide 40GE/
100GE uplink ports. Using the Huawei VRP8 software platform, CE6800 switches
provide extensive data center service features and high stacking capability. In
addition, the airflow direction (front-to-back or back-to-front) can be changed.
CE6800 switches can work with CE16800/CE12800/CE12800E/CE9800/CE8800/
CE7800/CE5800 switches to build an elastic, virtualized, high-quality fabric that
meets the requirements of cloud-computing data centers.
CE6800 switches can function as 10GE/25GE access switches with high-density
ports on data center networks to help enterprises and carriers build a scalable
data center network platform for cloud computing. They can also be used as
aggregation or access switches on enterprise campus networks.

4.1 Data Center Applications
On a typical data center network, CE16800/CE12800/CE12800E/CE9800/CE8800/
CE7800 switches work as core switches, whereas CE8800/CE6800/CE5800 switches
work as access switches and connect to the core switches using 100GE/40GE/
25GE/10GE ports. The switches use VXLAN and other fabric protocols to establish
a non-blocking large Layer 2 network, which allows large-scale VM migrations
and flexible service deployments.

4.2 Campus Network Applications
On a typical campus network, multiple CE16800/CE12800/CE12800E/CE9800/
CE8800/CE7800 switches are virtualized into a logical core switch using CSS or
iStack technology. Multiple CE8800/CE7800/CE6800 switches at the aggregation
layer form a logical switch using iStack technology. CSS and iStack improve
network reliability and simplify network management. At the access layer,
CE6800/CE5800 switches are virtualized using technologies such as M-LAG to
provide high-density line-rate ports.
