Huawei CE12800 series

The CloudEngine 12800 (CE12800) series switches are next-generation, high-performance core switches designed for data center networks and high-end campus networks. Using Huawei’s next-generation VRP8 software platform, CE12800 series switches provide stable, reliable, secure, and high-performance L2/L3 switching capabilities to help build an elastic, virtualized, and high-quality network.

The CE12800 series switches use advanced hardware architecture design and have the highest performance of any currently available core switches. The CE12800 provides as much as 48 Tbit/s switching capacity and high-density line-speed ports. Each switch has up to 288*40GE, or 1152*10GE ports.

The CE12800 series switches use an industry-leading Clos architecture and provide comprehensive virtualization capabilities along with data center service features. Moreover, the CE12800 switches use innovative energy-saving technologies to greatly reduce power consumption and have a front-to-rear ventilation channel design to provide industrial-grade reliability.

  •  Up to 2Tbps per slot, 48Tbps per chassis switching capacity to support sustainable development of cloud-computing data centers for the next 10 years
  • Industry-leading line card densities: 8*100GE and 24*40GE/96*10GE line cards
  • Up to a maximum of 96*100GE, 288*40GE or 1152*10GE ports
  • Unlimited capacity expansion, three-level CLOS architecture
  • Virtualization: Virtual System(VS) and Cluster Switch System (CSS)
  • L2 multipath protocol: TRILL

Deployment Scenarios

Application in a Data Center

On a typical data center network, CE12800 switches work as core switches and CE6800/CE5800 switches work as TOR switches. CE6800/CE5800 switches connect to CE12800 switches through 40GE/10GE ports. The CE12800 and CE6800/CE5800 switches use the TRILL protocol to build a non-blocking Layer 2 network, which allows large-scale VM migrations and flexible service deployments.

Note: The TRILL protocol can also be used on campus networks to support flexible service deployments in different service areas.

Huawei CE12800 Deployment Scenario

Application on a Campus Network

On a typical campus network, two CE12800 switches are virtualized into a logical core switch using CSS technology. Multiple CE6800 switches at the aggregation layer form a logical switch using iStack technology. The CSS and iStack technologies improve network reliability and simplify network management. At the access layer, CE5800 switches are stacked using iStack technology to provide high-densities of line-speed ports.

Note: CSS technology is also widely used in data centers to facilitate network management
