Questions & Answers
What is the H3C CE6850-48S6Q-HI Switch (SKU: CE6850-HI-B-B0A)?
The CE6850-48S6Q-HI is a high-performance 1U Layer-3 Ethernet switch featuring 48 SFP+ and 6 QSFP+ ports, two hot-swappable AC power modules, dual fan trays, and port-side intake for data center and enterprise core applications.
How many ports and port types does the CE6850-48S6Q-HI offer?
It provides 48 SFP+ ports for 1/10 GbE connectivity and 6 QSFP+ ports for 40 GbE uplinks, enabling flexible aggregation and spine-leaf topologies.
What is the total switching capacity and forwarding performance?
The switch delivers up to 1.44 Tbps of switching capacity and 1.07 billion packets per second (pps) forwarding performance, ensuring wire-speed Layer-2/3 processing.
What redundancy features are included in this model?
It includes two hot-swappable AC power modules and dual fan boxes for N+1 redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted operation during module maintenance or failure.
What is the airflow direction and cooling design?
Featuring a port-side intake design, the dual fan trays draw cool air from the front and exhaust it to the rear, optimizing thermal performance in front-to-back data center layouts.
Which routing and advanced features does the CE6850-48S6Q-HI support?
It supports full Layer-3 routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, RIP), IPv6, MPLS, VRF Lite, static/dynamic policy-based routing, and advanced QoS and security features.
How can I manage and monitor the switch?
Management options include a web GUI, CLI via console/SSH, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON, and H3C iMC integration for centralized monitoring and configuration.
Does the CE6850-48S6Q-HI support in-service software upgrades (ISSU)?
Yes. ISSU capability allows non-disruptive software updates, maintaining forwarding and control plane services during OS upgrades.
What is the typical power consumption of this switch?
Under full load, typical power consumption is approximately 200 W (excluding optics), with support for up to 580 W per AC power module for peak redundancy.
What are the physical dimensions and rack-mount options?
The switch occupies 1U (438 mm W × 44 mm H × 350 mm D) and includes EIA-compliant rack-mount ears for standard 19-inch cabinets.
What operating environment is supported?
Operating temperature: 0 °C to 45 °C; storage temperature: –40 °C to 70 °C; relative humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing.
What warranty and support services are available?
Standard one-year hardware warranty with 24×7 phone support; optional extended warranties and software maintenance agreements are available.
Is this switch suitable for data center spine-leaf architectures?
Absolutely. With high port density, 40 GbE uplinks, wire-speed forwarding, and ISSU, it is ideal for spine or leaf roles in modern data centers.
Can the CE6850-48S6Q-HI be integrated into an existing H3C network?
Yes. It fully interoperates with H3C CloudEngine switches, supports smart link and IRF stacking for network convergence, and leverages unified management via iMC.
What security features does the switch offer?
It includes ACLs, 802.1X port authentication, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, DoS protection, and MAC binding to safeguard network access.
How do I perform initial configuration?
Connect via the console port or web GUI, use the built-in CLI wizard to set management IP, hostname, and basic security, then proceed with VLAN and routing configurations as needed.
