Huawei NetEngine5000E Cluster Router

The NE5000E series are large-capacity, high-performance routers developed by Huawei to provide carrier-class reliability. Based on the powerful Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), NE5000Es provide strong switching capabilities, dense ports, and high reliability. NE5000Es can serve as super-core nodes on IP backbone networks, core nodes on metro networks, egresses in large-scale IDCs, and core nodes on large enterprise networks.

NE5000E clusters are positioned as super-core nodes on backbone networks that provide Layer 3 routing and MPLS forwarding. In an NE5000E cluster, a Cluster Central Chassis (CCC) functions as a level-2 switching module and routing engine module in a three-stage switch fabric, and a Cluster Line-card Chassis (CLC) functions as a level-1 or level-3 switching and forwarding module.

128T, High Scalability, Continuous Evolution

NE5000Es have the industry’s most compact 1 terabit line cards, and are characterized by high performance, integration, and low power consumption. A 2+2 NE5000E cluster can be smoothly expanded to a 2+8 cluster without interrupting services. In addition, NE5000Es of different platforms can form a hybrid cluster.
Smart and Open, for a Fully Programmable Network

NE5000Es, developed based on an SDN architecture, provide new backbone network optimization technologies and can smoothly meet SDN requirements for enterprise networks. NE5000Es also provide network virtualization that enable efficient network operations and development.
High Reliability

NE5000E routers provide high system reliability at the system structure and hardware and software system levels. NE5000Es also provide protection mechanisms such as IGP fast convergence, IP/LDP/TE/VLL fast reroute, BFD fast link detection, and inter-board trunking to ensure reliable service operation.
