Huawei N1-CloudFabric Foundation SW License for CloudEngine 6800

The Huawei N1-CloudFabric Foundation Software License is a foundational software package tailored for the CloudEngine 6800 series data center switches. Operating under Huawei's advanced IDN One Software (N1) business model, this digital license integrates basic hardware capabilities with autonomous network automation. It simplifies the software procurement workflow by packaging the essential switch features, basic elements of the iMaster NCE-Fabric controller, and fundamental analysis tools from iMaster NCE-FabricInsight into a single, unified offering.

This software framework enables enterprises to implement seamless network automation, accelerate application deployment, and establish agile data center architectures with optimized total cost of ownership.

• Streamlined Network Automation: Activates essential software capabilities required to interface with iMaster NCE-Fabric, enabling centralized configuration management and rapid service provisioning.
• Intelligent Telemetry and O&M: Delivers foundational telemetry functions and basic analysis features via iMaster NCE-FabricInsight, ensuring precise network visibility and faster troubleshooting.
• Advanced Protocol Integration: Unlocks data center feature sets such as Precision Time Protocol (PTP), basic network virtualization, and lossless network upgrades to maintain operational continuity.
• Software Investment Protection: Adheres to a perpetual licensing framework combined with Subscription and Support (SnS), allowing convenient license portability and flexible migration across compatible nodes.

As this product is an intangible digital asset, it is delivered via electronic authorization. Upon successful payment verification, you will receive an official Huawei Electronic License Management System (ELMS) entitlement certificate or a license authorization code (LAC) sent directly to your registered email address within 1 to 2 business days.

No, the Foundation package is intended for basic automation and standard telemetry. Advanced multi-cloud networking, multicast NAT, segment routing (SR), and predictive network health analysis require an upgrade to the Advanced or Premium software packages.

The core license itself is perpetual. However, to access continuous software updates, patches, and remote technical support from Huawei engineers, a valid Subscription and Support (SnS) contract (typically renewed on a 1-year or multi-year basis) must be associated with the switch node. All licenses provided are globally compliant and sourced through verified channels to ensure authentic entitlement binding.
