Port use constraints
The 24 10GE/25GE SFP28 optical ports of a CE6881E switch work at the rate of 25 Gbit/s by default and do not support GE/10GE auto-sensing. You can set the port rate to 10 Gbit/s or 1 Gbit/s using the port mode 10g or port mode ge command, respectively.
The 24 10GE/25GE SFP28 optical ports are divided into six port groups, each of which contains four ports, namely, ports 13 to 16, 17 to 20, 21 to 24, 25 to 28, 29 to 32, and 33 to 36.
If the rate of any port in a port group is set to 1 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s, or 25 Gbit/s, all the other ports in this group also work at the rate of 1 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s, or 25 Gbit/s.
When the ports in a port group work at the rate of 25 Gbit/s, they support only 25GE modules or cables and will go Down if other types of modules or cables are used. When the ports in a port group work at the rate of 10 Gbit/s, they support only 10GE modules or cables and will go Down if other types of modules or cables are used. When the ports in a port group work at the rate of 1 Gbit/s, they support only GE modules or cables and will go Down if other types of modules or cables are used.

CE6881E-48S6CQ FAQ
Q1: Does the 25GE port support backward compatibility with 10G/1G speeds? Can it directly connect to older 10G servers?
A1: It supports adaptive 25G/10G/1G speeds, requiring no additional configuration. It can directly connect to older 10G/1G servers or newer 25G servers, protecting existing equipment investments.
Q2: What is the maximum number of servers supported? Is the uplink bandwidth sufficient?
A2: A single unit can directly connect to 48 25G servers; the total bandwidth of the six 100GE uplink ports reaches 600Gbps, fully meeting the uplink requirements of 48 25G servers (total bandwidth 1200Gbps, actual forwarding is based on 50% convergence).
Q3: What are the differences between this and the Huawei CE6881K series? What scenarios is it suitable for?
A3: The CE6881E-48S6CQ focuses on 25GE high-density access, with port configurations more suitable for mid-range data centers; the CE6881K series focuses on 40GE/100GE high-performance scenarios, with a higher price, and the two are complementary in their positioning.
