Provides data packet processing and traffic management on 36 100GE optical ports, which can be split into a maximum of 36 40GE optical ports, 144 25GE optical ports or 144 10GE optical ports.
Maximum port density
If all LPUs are CE-L36CQ-FD1 cards:
The CE12804/CE12804S chassis provides a maximum of 144 100GE ports.
The CE12808/CE12808S chassis provides a maximum of 288 100GE ports.
The CE12812 chassis provides a maximum of 432 100GE ports.
The CE12816 chassis provides a maximum of 576 100GE ports.
100GE port
Supports QSFP28 optical modules. A 100GE port can be used as a 40GE port or split into four 25GE or 10GE ports. Therefore, a CE-L36CQ-FD1 card can provide a maximum port density of 36x40GE, 144x25GE, or 144x10GE.
NOTE:
All the 100GE ports are independent, and each can be configured as one 40GE, four 25GE, or four 10GE ports.
Limitations and Descriptions
Ports on the CE-L36CQ-FD1 card can be divided into two groups. Ports 0 to 8 and ports 18 to 26 form a group, and ports 9 to 17 and ports 27 to 35 form another group. When the CE-SFU16G is used, ports in the same group can forward data at the line rate, but data cannot be forwarded at the line rate across the two groups and up to 50% of packets can be lost.
When the CE-L36CQ-FD1 card works with the SFU matching the CE12800S and the backplane-side bandwidth is insufficient, data cannot be forwarded at the line rate.

CE-L36CQ-FD1 FAQ
Q1: Which Huawei switch models does the CE-L36CQ-FD1 support? How compatible is it?
A1: It mainly supports high-end core switches such as the Huawei CE9800 series (CE9866, CE9855) and CE8800 series (CE8850, CE8860, CE8868). It is fully compatible in both hardware and software, with 100% compatibility and no additional debugging required.
Q2: Will the 36 high-density ports affect heat dissipation? Is there any performance loss due to multi-rate compatibility?
A2: It adopts an optimized heat dissipation design, and the high-density layout does not affect the stable operation of the device. Multi-rate adaptive switching is implemented at the hardware level, with no performance loss, and can seamlessly switch between different rate modes.
Q3: What are the differences between the CE-L36CQ-FD1 and its counterparts CE-L36CQ-SD/CE-L36CQ-FG? How should one choose for high-density scenarios?
A3: All three models share the same core performance. The CE-L36CQ-FD1 prioritizes high-density port layout to save space; the CE-L36CQ-SD is the standard model; and the CE-L36CQ-FG focuses on energy saving. For high-density data centers and scenarios with limited space, the CE-L36CQ-FD1 is the preferred choice.
