EXACT MODEL IDENTITY AND CONFIGURATION BOUNDARIES
Huawei CE6880-48S4Q2CQ-EI Ordering and Port Guide
Verify the exact CE6880-48S4Q2CQ-EI data center switch identity, optical port layout, software generation, power and fan boundaries, and official configuration references before ordering.
What CE6880-48S4Q2CQ-EI identifies
CE6880-48S4Q2CQ-EI is an optical fixed-form-factor switch in Huawei's CloudEngine CE6800 data center family. Its model identity separates the SFP+ downlink version from the nearby CE6880-48T4Q2CQ-EI copper-interface model.
Official model and port facts
| Verification field | Documented boundary |
|---|---|
| Product family | Huawei CloudEngine CE6800 data center switch |
| Downlink interfaces | 48 x 10GE SFP+ optical interfaces |
| Fixed high-speed interfaces | 4 x 40GE QSFP+ plus 2 x 40GE/100GE QSFP28 |
| Alternate 100GE operating layout | 44 x 10GE SFP+, 4 x 40GE QSFP+ and 2 x 100GE QSFP28 |
| Huawei model identifier | 22460636 |
| Verified software generation | Huawei Info-Finder maps the exact model to V200R019C10 |
| Configuration boundary | The base model identity does not by itself confirm included power modules, fan modules or airflow direction |
| Official image configuration reference | Huawei Image Library associates part number 02350SRF with an exact-model image archive |
The two QSFP28 interfaces can change the usable 10GE layout when operated at 100GE. Validate the intended port mode, optics and software release together instead of treating all six high-speed cages as identical 40GE ports.
Checks before ordering or replacing this switch
- Confirm the exact SFP+ model; do not substitute the similarly named 48T copper-interface variant.
- Record whether the two QSFP28 interfaces will operate at 40GE or 100GE and account for the resulting downlink availability.
- Match every SFP+, QSFP+ and QSFP28 optic or cable to the target software release in Huawei Info-Finder.
- Verify the complete BOM for power modules, fan modules and airflow direction. The model name alone does not prove those components are included.
- Use Huawei's current lifecycle and version tools before a replacement or expansion quote because the cited hardware manual covers an earlier software generation.
