Abstract

Huawei CloudEngine 12800 (CE12800) series switch is the high performance core switch developed by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. facing data centers and high end campuses.

Huawei commissioned Tolly to evaluate their CE12800 series switch’s performance, virtualization capability, data center features and open architecture.

Tolly engineers verified that the CE12800 series switch supported 1 million
FIB table entries, virtualization capability with Huawei’s Cluster Switch
System (CSS), Virtual System (VS) and “CSS+VS” technologies, numerous data
center features including TRILL, EVN, FCoE, DCB, VXLAN gateway and NVGRE
gateway as well as high availability with ISSU and NSR. Engineers also verified
that the 12*100GbE port line card on the CE12800 series switch provided
100% line-rate forwarding.
