Product Characteristics
High-Density 10GE Access
 CloudEngine 6850 series provide 48 x 10GE ports, high-density 10GE ports among 1 U ToR switches, allowing for high-
density 10GE server access.
 CloudEngie 6850 series have a maximum of six 40GE QSFP+ ports. Each QSFP+ port can be used as four 10GE SFP+
ports, providing flexibility in networking. The uplink 40GE QSFP+ ports can be connected to CloudEngine 16800 or CloudEngine
12800 switches to build a non-blocking network platform.

Highly Reliable, Long-Distance Stacking

16-member stack system

Huawei CloudEngine 6850 Switch Datasheet 2

 A stack system of 16 member switches has up to 768 x 10GE access ports that provide high-density 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 and easy-
to-manage data center network platform.
 A stack system separates the control plane from the data plane. This eliminates the risk of single points of failure and
greatly improves system reliability.

Long-distance stacking

 CloudEngine 6850 series 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 scale to ensure that network resources are used
more efficiently.

Inter-device Link Aggregation, High Efficiency and Reliability

 CloudEngine 6850 series support multichassis link aggregation group (M-LAG), which enables links of multiple switches to
aggregate into one to implement device-level link backup.
 Switches in an M-LAG system all work in active state to share traffic and back up each other, enhancing system reliability.
 Switches in an M-LAG system can be upgraded independently. During the upgrade, other switches in the system take over
traffic forwarding to ensure uninterrupted services.
 M-LAG supports dual-homing to Ethernet, VXLAN, and IP networks, allowing for flexible networking.
 With comprehensive inter-device link aggregation technology, the device networking coupling relationship evolves from
stacking at the control plane to the use of M-LAG and then finally to coupling-free M-LAG Lite. This achieves active-active
server access and zero interruption of services when upgrading switches.

Virtualized Hardware Gateway, Enabling Quick Deployment

 CloudEngine 6850 series can work with the industry's mainstream virtualization platforms and acts a hardware gateway on
an overlay network (VXLAN). The virtualization function protects investments by ensuring services can be deployed quickly
without requiring network changes.
 CloudEngine 6850 series can connect to a cloud platform through open APIs, facilitating the unified management of virtual
and physical networks.
 The hardware gateway deployment enables fast service deployment without changing the customer network, providing
investment protection.
 CloudEngine 6850 series support Border Gateway Protocol - Ethernet VPN (BGP-EVPN), which can run as the VXLAN
control plane to simplify VXLAN configuration within and between data centers.

Standard Interfaces, Enabling Openness and Interoperability

 CloudEngine 6850 series support NETCONF and can work with Huawei Agile Controller.
 CloudEngine 6850 series support Ansible-based automatic configuration and open-source module release, expanding
network functions and simplifying device management and maintenance.
 CloudEngine 6850 series can be integrated into mainstream SDN and cloud computing platforms flexibly and quickly.

ZTP, Implementing Automatic O&M

 CloudEngine 6850 series support Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). ZTP enables the CloudEngine 6850 series to
automatically obtain and load version files from a USB flash drive or file server, freeing network engineers from onsite
configuration and deployment. ZTP reduces labor costs and improves device deployment efficiency.
 ZTP provides built-in scripts through open APIs. Data center personnel can use a programming language they are familiar
with, such as Python, to centrally configure network devices.
 ZTP decouples the configuration time of new devices from the device quantity and area distribution, which improves
service provisioning efficiency.

FabricInsight-based Intelligent O&M

 CloudEngine 6850 series proactively perform path detection over the entire network, periodically checking sample flows to
determine the connectivity of all paths on the network and locates fault points, providing real-time network health information.

 CloudEngine 6850 series support visualization of all flows and congestion, improving service experience.

Flexible Airflow Design, Improving Energy Efficiency

Flexible front-to-back/back-to-front airflow design

 CloudEngine 6850 series use a strict front-to-back/back-to-front airflow design that isolates cold air channels from hot air
channels. This design improves heat dissipation efficiency and meets design requirements of data center equipment rooms.
 Air can flow from front to back or back to front depending on the fans and power modules that are used.
 Redundant power modules and fans can be configured to ensure service continuity.

Innovative energy-saving technologies

 CloudEngine 6850 series have innovative energy-saving chips and can measure system power consumption in real time.
The 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, Simplifying Maintenance

Clear indicators

 Port indicators clearly show the port status and port rate. The 40GE/100GE port indicators can show the states of all ports
derived from the 40GE/100GE ports.
 State and stack indicators on both the front and rear panels enable users to maintain the switch from either side.
 CloudEngine 6850 series support remote positioning. Remote positioning indicators enable users to easily identify the
switches they want to maintain 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 simplifies cabling.

Networking and Application

Data Center Applications
On a typical data center network, CloudEngine 6850 series switches work as TOR switches and connect to CloudEngine16800,
CloudEngine 12800, CloudEngine 8800, or CloudEngine 7800 core switches using 40GE/100GE ports, building an end-to-end
40GE/100GE full-mesh network. The core and TOR switches use fabric technologies such as VXLAN to build a non-blocking
large Layer 2 network, which allows for large-scale VM migration and flexible service deployment.

Note: VXLAN can also be used on campus networks to support flexible service deployment in different service areas.
