About the Huawei CloudEngine 9860 Core Data Center Switch
The Huawei CloudEngine 9860 Core Data Center Switch delivers 12.8 Tbps switching capacity and 4800 Mpps forwarding rate, enabling line-rate performance across mission-critical enterprise networks. Built on the CloudEngine 9800 series architecture, the CE9860-4C-EI combines a modular 4-slot chassis in a compact 10U form factor with exceptional density and flexibility. This Huawei platform supports multiple interface types—400GE, 100GE, 40GE, 25GE, and 10GE—with maximum configuration of 64 x 400GE ports when fully populated, making it ideal for high-speed fabric and core data center deployments.
Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams choose the CloudEngine 9860 for its robust feature set and proven reliability. The switch includes N+1 hot-swappable redundant fabric modules and 1+1 hot-swappable management units, coupled with redundant hot-swappable AC/DC power modules and flexible front-to-back and back-to-front airflow cooling options. Advanced capabilities include lossless Ethernet via RoCEv2 with hardware ECN and PFC (iLossless), tunneling support for VXLAN, MPLS, GRE, and SRv6, and comprehensive routing protocols including BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP-EVPN, and static routing. High availability features such as NSF, NSR, ISSU, BFD, and VRRP ensure carrier-grade uptime, while network telemetry via streaming telemetry, iFIT, ERSPAN, sFlow, and NetStream provide full operational visibility.
Huawei iMaster NCE integration, NETCONF/YANG, gRPC, RESTCONF, and OpenConfig support enable seamless management and automation within modern software-defined network environments. For procurement teams evaluating core switch solutions, the CE9860-4C-EI delivers enterprise-grade performance, redundancy, and scale.

Frequently Asked Questions about Huawei CloudEngine 9860 Core Data Center Switch
Does the Huawei CloudEngine 9860 Core Data Center Switch support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
