CloudEngine 01
Product Characteristics
Next-Generation Core Engine Provides the Industry's Highest Performance
64 Tbit/s Switching Capacity
The CE12800 provides 4 Tbit/s per-slot bidirectional bandwidth (scalable to 10 Tbit/s) and a maximum
of 64 Tbit/s switching capacity (scalable to more than 160 Tbit/s). This capacity can support sustainable
development of cloud-computing data centers for the next 10 years.
The CE12800, together with the CE6800/CE5800 series of Top-of-Rack (TOR) switches, can implement
the largest non-blocking switching network in the industry. This network can provide access for up
to 18,000*10GE servers or 70,000*GE servers and support data center server evolution across four
generations from GE, 10GE, 40GE, and ultimately 100GE.
Super-Large Buffer of 18 GB
The distributed buffer mechanism on inbound interfaces can effectively handle incast trafc loads in data
centers.
The line card provides up to 18 GB buffer, which is dynamically shared by interfaces to improve usage
efciency.
The CE12816 is the industry's rst data center core switch to support a non-blocking system. Two
CE12816s can be upgraded to the CE12832 through back-to-back Cluster Switch Systems (CSSs) of
Switch Fabric Units (SFUs). The new device provides 32 service slots, with a capacity of 128 Tbit/s.
The CE12832 builds a strict non-blocking system using Clos. All trafc between two CE12816 chassis can
be forwarded without occupying any service interface.
The CE12832 can be upgraded through a CE12816 in-service upgrade. During the upgrade, services are
not affected. This ensures continuous evolution and expansion of the customer service system.
Highest device virtualization capability: The CE12800 uses Virtual System (VS) technology to provide an
industry-leading virtualization capability that enables one switch to be virtualized into as many as sixteen
logical switches. This 1:16 ratio enables one core switch to manage services for an enterprise's multiple
service areas such as production, ofce, 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 efciency of physical devices by implementing ondemand resource allocation. This ensures network scalability and reduces investment in devices.
02 CloudEngine
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.
The CE12800 uses industry-leading CSS technology, which can virtualize multiple physical switches into
one logical switch to facilitate network management and improve reliability.
The CE12800 provides the dedicated system inter-connect port and separates the control channel from
the service channel, improving reliability.
The CE12800 provides a cluster bandwidth of 1.6 Tbit/s. This super-high bandwidth prevents trafc
bottlenecks on data center networks.
The CE12800 switches establish a cluster using service ports with distances of up to 80 km between
cluster member switches.
The CE12800 uses CSS+VS synergy technology to turn a network into a resource pool so that network
resources can be allocated on demand. On-demand resource allocation is ideal for the cloud-computing
service model.
The CE12800 series switches support Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL), a standard
IETF protocol. The TRILL protocol helps build a large Layer 2 network with more than 500 nodes, which
permits exible service deployments and Virtual Machine (VM) migrations. A TRILL network can use
10GE/GE servers.
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 Equalcost Multi-path (ECMP) routing. SPF and ECMP avoid the problem of suboptimal path selection in the
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and increase link bandwidth efciency to 100 percent.
The CE12800 supports up to 32 TRILL-based Layer 2 equal-cost paths, greatly improving links' loadbalancing capabilities. The network's fat-tree architecture supports easy expansion.
The Ethernet Virtual Network (EVN) implements inter-data center Layer 2 interconnection across the
IP WAN, and integrates multiple data centers into a large IT resource pool. VMs can migrate between
data centers. EVN supports Layer 2 interconnection of a maximum of 32 data centers, which enable
scalability that is 5 times higher than the industry. EVN combines the advantages of the Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) to provide high scalability and highly efcient use of
bandwidth.
High scalability: Based on BGP at the control plane, the CE12800 supports millions of MAC addresses
and routes, 32K tenants, and 256K VMs.
Highly efcient bandwidth usage: The forwarding plane uses VXLAN encapsulation. Flow-based load
balancing is implemented on the entire network, which optimizes bandwidth usage.
The CE12800 works with Huawei's Agile Controller to permit network policies to be dynamically
deployed on the CE12800. nCenter 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.
CloudEngine 03
Agile Controller is based on open APIs and is compatible with all major virtualization platforms including
VMware.
The CE12800 is based on Huawei's innovative, programmable Ethernet Network Processor (ENP). The
high-performance 480 Gbit/s ENP card implements openness and denition capabilities for the rst time
at the forwarding plane on data center networks.
The ENP card denes network functions through software and extends network functions. When new
services are provisioned, there is no need to invest in replacement hardware.
The ENP card reduces service provisioning from two years to six months - an improvement of four times
over current industry capabilities that help customers to quickly implement service innovations.
The CE12800 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 CE12800 can work with a mainstream virtualization platform. As the high-performance, hardware
gateway of an overlay network (VXLAN/NVGRE), a CE series switch can support more than 16M tenants.
The CE12800 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.
The CE12800 supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). ZTP enables the CE12800 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.
04 CloudEngine
The CE12800's non-blocking switching architecture includes an orthogonal switch fabric design, Clos
architecture, cell switching, Virtual Output Queuing (VOQ), and a super-large buffer.
Orthogonal switch fabric design: CE12800 service line cards and switch fabric units (SFUs) use an
orthogonal design in which service trafc 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 Gbit/s 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 Tbit/s.
Clos architecture: The CE12800's three-level Clos architecture permits exible 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 trafc in data centers.
VOQ: The CE12800 supports 96,000 VOQ queues that implement ne-grained Quality of Service (QoS)
based on the switch fabrics. With the VOQ mechanism and super-large buffer on inbound interfaces, the
CE12800 creates independent VOQ queues on inbound interfaces to perform end-to-end ow control
on trafc destined for different outbound interfaces. This method ensures unied service scheduling and
sequenced forwarding and implements non-blocking switching.
Hot backup of ve 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 efcient 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 CE12800
improve system reliability and ensure service continuity.
The CE12800 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 negrained, 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.
The CE12800 uses a patented front-to-back airow 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 airow 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 efcient heat dissipation.
CloudEngine 05
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.
The CE12800 uses innovative energy saving technologies. Each 10GE port consumes only 5 W power,
which is half the industry standard. It greatly reduces power consumption in the data center equipment
room.
Miercom has performed a series of strict tests for the CE12800, proving its low power consumption.
The CE12800 incorporates the industry's most efcient digital power modules, which provide power
efciency 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 CE12800 can save energy dynamically by adjusting the power consumption of components to adapt
to changes in service trafc volume.

Mpps, and supports L2/L3 line-speed forwarding.
The CE7800 provides a maximum of 32*40GE QSFP+ ports, and can function as the core or aggregation
switch on a data center or campus network.
The QSFP+ port can be used as four 10GE SFP+ ports, providing a exible network. CE7800 switches
can work with CE12800/6800/5800 switches to build a non-blocking network platform.
CloudEngine 11
A stack system of 16 member switches has a maximum of 512*40GE 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.
Long-distance stacking
The CE7800 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 CE7800 supports the IETF Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) protocol. 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

Multi-path (ECMP) routing. SPF and ECMP avoid the suboptimal path selection problem in STP and
increase link bandwidth efciency to 100 percent.
The CE7800 supports TRILL-based Layer 2 equal-cost paths, greatly improving links' load balancing
capabilities. The network has a fat-tree architecture that enhances expansion.
Converged Enhanced Ethernet, Data, Storage, and Computing Trafc over One Network
The CE7800 supports 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.
The CE7800 supports centralized FCoE/FC gateway deployment, which makes network O&M simpler.
Various CE7800 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 CE7800 works with Huawei's Agile Controller to permit network policies to be dynamically deployed
on the CE7800. 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.

ZTP decouples conguration time of new devices from device quantity and area distribution, which
improves service provisioning efciency.
The CE7800 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.
CloudEngine 13
The CE7800 has energy-saving chips and can measure system power consumption in real time. Fan
speed can be adjusted dynamically based on system consumption. These energy-saving 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.
The CE7800 supports 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.

High-density 10GE Access
The CE6800 provides 1.44 Tbit/s switching capacity, 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.

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.
CloudEngine 19
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

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
20 CloudEngine
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.

Product Characteristics
High-density GE Access
Each CE5800 switch provides 48*GE line-speed ports, which makes future data center expansion easy.
The CE5850 is the rst GE access switch to provide 40GE uplink ports. CE5850 switches can work with
CE12800 switches to build a high-performance data center network that provides 40GE access. The two
40GE uplink ports on CE5850 back up each other to improve system reliability.
The CE5810 has models with 48*GE and 24*GE ports that can be exibly deployed in racks with different
server port densities to meet different cabling requirements in data center equipment rooms.
A stack system of 16 member switches has a maximum of 768*GE 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.
CE5800 switches can use either 10GE or 40GE ports as stack ports. A stack system can be established
with switches in the same rack or different racks, and even over long distances.
The 40GE ports of the CE5850 can set up large-capacity stack channels that enable multiple CE5800
switches to constitute a non-blocking stack system.
The CE5800 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 CE5810 functions 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 CE5850 supports the 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 CE5850 supports up to 16 TRILL-based Layer 2 equal-cost paths, greatly improving links' load
balancing capabilities. The network has a fat-tree architecture that enhances expansion.

State and stack indicators on both the front and rear panels enable operators to maintain the switch
from either side.
CE5800 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.
