Questions & Answers

What are Ce8800 Series Switch Subcards?

Ce8800 Series Switch Subcards are hot-swappable modules that expand port density and performance on Ce8800 core and aggregation switches, supporting high-speed connections from 1GbE to 100GbE.

Which port speeds do Ce8800 Series Subcards support?

Ce8800 Series Switch Subcards support line-rate speeds ranging from 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, to 100GbE, enabling flexible uplink and spine-leaf architecture deployments.

Are Ce8800 Subcards compatible with all Ce8800 chassis?

Yes. Ce8800 Series Switch Subcards are designed for full compatibility with Ce8800-48, Ce8800-64, Ce8800-96, and Ce8800-128 chassis, ensuring seamless integration and unified management.

How do I install a Ce8800 Series Switch Subcard?

To install, simply power off the switch, insert the subcard into the designated expansion slot, secure the retention screws, then power on. The switch auto-detects and configures the subcard.

Can I hot-swap Ce8800 Subcards without downtime?

Yes. All Ce8800 Series Switch Subcards support hot-swapping. You can remove or insert modules while the switch remains operational, preserving data plane forwarding.

What is the maximum port density per Ce8800 Subcard?

Each Ce8800 Subcard offers up to 16 ports at 100GbE or 48 ports at 10GbE, delivering up to 1.6Tbps of additional switching capacity per module.

How do Ce8800 Subcards affect overall switch throughput?

Each subcard adds dedicated line-rate forwarding, increasing total switch throughput by the module’s aggregate capacity, up to the chassis maximum of 25.6Tbps.

Do Ce8800 Series Subcards support advanced Layer 3 features?

Yes. All subcards inherit the chassis’ full L2/L3 feature set, including OSPF, BGP, MPLS, VRF, and multicast protocols for enterprise and data-center networks.

What power and cooling requirements do Ce8800 Subcards have?

Power and thermal draw per subcard varies by port speed. Typical 100GbE modules consume 40W each. The Ce8800 chassis’ redundant PSUs and fans handle full-populated subcards.

Can I mix different Ce8800 Subcards in one chassis?

Yes. You can combine 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE subcards in available slots, allowing for a tailored mix of uplink and aggregation interfaces.

How are Ce8800 Subcards managed?

Subcards are managed via the Ce8800 chassis OS using CLI, web GUI, or SNMP. Inventory, port configuration, and diagnostics automatically include newly inserted subcards.

Do Ce8800 Series Subcards support VXLAN and EVPN?

Yes. All Ce8800 Subcards support VXLAN, EVPN, and segment routing workflows for scalable multi-tenant data center fabric deployments.

What is the MTBF and reliability of Ce8800 Subcards?

Ce8800 Switch Subcards are engineered for carrier-class reliability with an MTBF exceeding 500,000 hours, backed by continuous self-monitoring and redundant chassis architecture.

Are Ce8800 Series Subcards covered by warranty and support?

Yes. All Ce8800 Series Switch Subcards come with a standard 3-year warranty and access to 24x7 technical support, with optional extended warranty and advanced replacement services.

How do I verify the subcard firmware version?

Use the CLI command ‘display version’ or check the web GUI’s system inventory page. The switch lists each subcard’s firmware version alongside chassis components.
