Huawei CloudEngine CE7800 series switches are next-generation 40G
Ethernet switches designed for data centers and high-end campus
networks. The switches provide high-performance, high-density 40 GE
ports, and low latency. The switch hardware has an advanced
architectural design with 40 GE QSFP+ ports. Using the Huawei VRP8
software platform, CE7800 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.
CE7800 switches can work with CE12800/6800/5800 switches to build an
elastic, virtualized, high-quality fabric that meets the
requirements of cloud-computing data centers.
CE7800 switches can function as core or aggregation switches on data
center networks to help enterprises and carriers build a scalable
data center network platform in the cloud computing era. They can
also be used as aggregation or core switches for enterprise campus
networks.
The CE7800 comes in one model.

On a typical data center network, CE12800/CE7800 switches work as core switches and CE6800/CE5800 switches work as TOR switches. CE6800/CE5800 switches connect to CE12800/CE7800 switches through 40 GE/10 GE ports. The CE12800/CE7800 and CE6800/CE5800 switches use the TRILL protocol to build a non-blocking L2 network that allows large-scale VM migrations and flexible service deployments.
Note: The TRILL protocol can be also used on campus networks to support flexible service deployments in different service areas.
The CE7800 can be used on a campus network. Its high-density, line-speed 40 GE ports and high stacking capability can meet the ever-increasing demand for network bandwidth. CE7800 switches are cost-effective campus network switches thanks to their extensive service features and innovative energy-saving technologies.
On a typical campus network, two CE12800/CE7800 switches are virtualized into a logical core switch using CSS or iStack technology. Multiple 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, CE5800 switches are virtualized with SVF to provide high-density line-speed ports.
Note: iStack technology is also widely used in data centers to facilitate network management.
