Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5K2C2D5B Cluster Router

Usage Area

The Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5K2C2D5B is a cluster router designed for deployment in the core layer of large-scale service provider networks. It is intended for internet backbone infrastructure, metro core networks, internet data center (IDC) interconnections, and carrier-grade IP transport networks. The platform supports service flow forwarding and high-capacity routing in environments requiring carrier-class availability and scalability.

Construction Features

• Based on a cluster architecture consisting of two main chassis types: Central Cluster Chassis (CCC) and Line Cluster Chassis (CLC).
• The CLC handles service flow forwarding, while the CCC interconnects the control plane and data plane of the cluster system.
• Utilizes a back-to-back cluster system and a hybrid-chassis cluster configuration for high-density deployment.
• Supports a 400G (2+2) base cluster configuration with a capacity of DC 12 units per hour.
• Runs on the Huawei VRP (Versatile Routing Platform) operating system, designed for high scalability and stable operation.
• Employs a line processor unit (LPU) with 40G capability, enabling a 2+8 cluster configuration to reach the 10T era.
