Two 40GE/100GE QSFP28 Ethernet optical ports
NOTE:
A QSFP28 Ethernet optical port can be split into four 10GE ports.
The default rate of a QSFP28 Ethernet optical port is 40 Gbit/s, and you can use the port mode 100ge command to change the port speed to 100 Gbit/s.
After the speed of 40GE1/0/1 is changed to 100 Gbit/s, ports 10GE1/0/45 and 10GE1/0/46 transition to Down (port unavailable) state. After the speed of 40GE1/0/2 is changed to 100 Gbit/s, ports 10GE1/0/47 and 10GE1/0/48 become unavailable.

CE6880-48T4Q2CQ-EI FAQ
Q1: Do the 48 10GE Ethernet ports support backward compatibility with 1G speeds? Can they be directly connected to older 1G devices?
A1: Yes, they support 10G/1G adaptive speeds. No manual configuration is required. They can be directly connected to older 1G terminals, printers, or newer 10GE servers, offering excellent compatibility.
Q2: What are the differences in application scenarios between Ethernet and optical ports? Why is a hybrid configuration used?
A2: Ethernet ports (RJ45) are suitable for short-distance (≤100 meters) access, requiring no optical module and resulting in lower costs. Optical ports are suitable for long-distance uplinks or cross-data center interconnections, providing stable bandwidth. The hybrid configuration balances cost and scalability, adapting to diverse needs in small to medium-sized scenarios.
Q3: What are the differences between this and the Huawei CE6881 series? How to choose?
A3: This model focuses on 10GE high-density access, offering better cost-effectiveness and is suitable for basic core/aggregation scenarios; the CE6881 series focuses on 25GE/100GE high-performance scenarios, with a higher price, and is suitable for data centers with extremely high bandwidth requirements.
