CE6850-48S4Q-EI FAQ
Q1: Are the 48 10GE optical ports backward compatible with 1G devices? Is no additional configuration required?
A1: Yes, they support automatic 10G/1G speed adaptation. No manual configuration is required. They can directly connect to older 1G optical port servers and terminals, offering strong compatibility and protecting existing equipment investments.
Q2: Is the bandwidth of the 4 40GE optical ports sufficient for uplink requirements in small to medium-sized scenarios?
A2: Absolutely. The total uplink bandwidth of 160Gbps can support concurrent transmission for 3000+ terminals and 20+ servers. With redundant link design, there are no bandwidth bottlenecks.
Q3: What are the differences between this model and the Huawei CE6850-48S6Q-HI (6-port 40GE)? How to choose?
A3: The core differences lie in the number of 40GE ports and price. This model has a 4-port configuration to meet basic uplink requirements and is cheaper; the 6-port model is suitable for multi-link uplink and cross-data center interconnection scenarios. Choose according to your network requirements.
