Huawei Switch Firmware Upgrade Link File

For CloudEngine (CE) series switches, Huawei also distributes firmware through CloudEngine Fabric Insighter (CE-FI) or iMaster NCE-Fabric. In these SDN controllers, the firmware upgrade link is embedded inside the upgrade workflow. You can also download firmware directly from the Huawei eSupport portal under "CloudEngine Data Center Switches."

The only safe and recommended way to obtain firmware is through the official Huawei Technical Support Website.
