The Huawei CloudEngine 9868 Core Switch supports 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 100GE, and 400GE interface speeds across 16 service line card slots, delivering a massive 768 Tbps switch fabric capacity and 576 Bpps forwarding rate for high-density enterprise deployments. This modular chassis (part number CE9868) is engineered as a carrier-grade core routing and switching platform that consolidates multiple network functions into a single system.
Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams rely on the CE9868 for its advanced feature set: hardware-based VXLAN with EVPN control plane, Segment Routing (SR-MPLS and SRv6), and comprehensive routing protocol support including BGP, IS-IS, OSPFv2/v3, RIP, and VRRP. The switch maintains IPv4 routing tables up to 6M entries (with extended line cards) and IPv6 routing tables to 3M, alongside a 288K MAC address table. Lossless Ethernet capabilities—featuring PFC, ECN, and dynamic buffer management for RoCE—ensure predictable latency for demanding workloads. Built-in redundancy with 1+1 switch fabric modules, N+1 power supplies, and N+1 fan trays, combined with hitless failover and Graceful Restart (GR) / NSF/NSR support, guarantees high availability. Management integrates seamlessly with Huawei iMaster NCE, NETCONF/YANG, gRPC telemetry, and SNMPv3, while 8-level hardware priority queues, WRED, and SP+WRR scheduling deliver granular QoS control.

The Huawei CloudEngine 9868 Core Switch is enterprise networking hardware for data-center, campus, and branch deployments. Common roles include core/distribution switching, server uplinks, top-of-rack fabric, and edge connectivity in mixed Cisco/Juniper/Arista environments.
The Huawei CloudEngine 9868 Core Switch interoperates with standard switching protocols (LACP, MLAG/VPC, 802.1Q, OSPF/BGP). For specific cross-vendor scenarios — Cisco-to-Arista MLAG peering, fabric integration with Cumulus/SONiC, or migration from legacy Catalyst — our network engineers map a compatibility plan as part of the RFQ.
