CE16808 FAQ
Q1: Which interface cards and expansion configurations does the CE16808 support? How compatible is it?
A1: It supports Huawei's full range of 400G/100G/25G interface cards (short-range/long-range, ultra-dense/mixed density). Its 8 slots allow for flexible configuration with main control units, line cards, and power modules, adapting to different expansion needs of medium to large-scale core networks, with 100% compatibility.
Q2: How are the overall performance and latency? Can it support ultra-high bandwidth services?
A2: The overall switching capacity exceeds 19.2Tbps, with forwarding latency as low as microseconds. There are no performance bottlenecks, supporting bandwidth requirements for big data, virtualization, and medium-sized AI training. The 400G port meets the extreme requirements of backbone transmission.
Q3: What are the reliability and maintenance difficulties? Will maintenance affect services?
A3: Fully redundant architecture with no single point of failure, MTBF > 100,000 hours; supports hot-swapping and smooth upgrades, ensuring uninterrupted service during maintenance; paired with an intelligent operation and maintenance system, fault location and handling efficiency is improved by 50%, reducing the difficulty of operation and maintenance.
