Abundant Functions

The NE 16E/08E/05 routers can provide extensive functions, including multiple instances of OSPF, MPLS TE, IPv6, OSPF SHAM-LINK, multicast VPN, cross-domain multicast VPN, BFD, MPLS OAM, large-capacity label of LSP, and PWE3.

Smooth Transition from IPv4 to IPv6

NE 16E/08E/05 series routers fully support the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6 dual protocol stacks. It can provide all IPv6 features and a good solution for smooth transition from IPv4 networks to IPv6 networks. Therefore, it can server at the low end of IPv6, the dual-stack network, and at the access network edge.

Carrier-Class Reliability

NE 16E/08E/05 can meet the high reliability requirements for carrier-class and high-end applications with the following features.

1. Adopting hot swappable boards, power modules and fans.

2. Providing the key modules redundant, such as: Routing Switch Unit (RSU, 1+1 backup, except NE05), Routing Switch Extend Unit (RSEU, 1+1 backup, except NE05), power supply, fan modules and bus.

3. Supporting Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), interface backup and multilink protocol PPP. Ensuring the full-time uninterrupted network services.

Scalability

The Quidway? NetEngine 16E/08E/05 routers provide maximum flexibility of functions extension: board extension from single RSU to dual configuration, bus extension from 2G to 4G and slot extension from 6 slots to 17 slots. Each VIU can be deployed with two interface modules, which provide both flexible internetworking ability and extending facility. All the flexibility and extension capability above will ensure long-term protection of user investments on the networks.

High-density Interfaces

NE16E has 12 versatile interface unit (VIU) slots, can support 48 FE/24 155M POS/24 GE/192 E1 ports at most.

NE08E router has 6 VIU slots, can support 24 FE/12 155M POS/12 GE/96 E1 ports at most.

NE05 has 4 VIU slots, can support 16 FE/8 155M POS/8 GE/64 E1 ports at most.
