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-SD 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-SD 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-SD 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-SD 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-SD FAQ
Q1: Which Huawei switch models does the CE-L36CQ-SD 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: Does the 36 100GE ports support rate splitting? Will multi-rate compatibility affect performance?
A2: It supports port configuration as needed at 100G/40G/25G/10G rates without performance loss. The multi-rate compatible design allows direct connection to existing devices with different rates, protecting initial investment and avoiding waste from equipment replacement.
Q3: Does the bandwidth of a single CE-L36CQ-SD meet the aggregation requirements of medium to large data centers? Is multi-card expansion complex?
A3: A single card with a capacity of 7.2Tbps can meet the needs of small and medium-sized aggregation nodes; multi-card expansion adopts a modular design, which can be directly inserted into the switch slot without additional configuration, making operation simple and efficient.
