Huawei NE40E-M2H Router

Overview

Huawei NE40E Series Router

Based on its mature Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), the NE40E excels in reliability, expansibility, and maintainability. It supports various features to satisfy the requirement to transmit multiple services, including Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (HVPLS), Virtual Leased Line (VLL), Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN), Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN), multicast VPN, 802.1Q-in-802.1Q (QinQ), Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) mapping, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay/snooping, IPSec, NAT, and GRE. NE40E supports Protocol Independent Multicast-Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM), Internet Group Membership Protocol Version 3 (IGMPv3), and MAC + IP + VLAN user binding. On the high-reliability MANs based on the NE40E, ISP can provide Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services, family multi-play services, IP leased line services, enterprise interconnection services, and enterprise VPN services.

In addition, the NE40E supports comprehensive Ethernet clock synchronization, which easily meets the requirements for IP networks used in electricity and transportation enterprise.

Enhanced user management functions

The Huawei NE40E Router provides Multi-Service Edge (MSE) features to manage and control DHCP/IP over Ethernet (IPoE)/leased line access users. The MSE mainly provides dynamic user access, user management, and user-based authentication, accounting, and QoS scheduling. In addition, the MSE implements Bandwidth-on-Demand (BoD) for different services of enterprise users and for DHCP individual users and changes the unified charging mode to the charging mode based on value-added services, which implements user-centered refined service operation.

Efficient OAM features

NE40E supports Ethernet OAM fault management including: Ethernet in the First Mile OAM (EFM OAM), conforming to IEEE 802.3ah and Connectivity Fault Management OAM (CFM OAM), and conforming to IEEE 802.1ag.

Conforming to ITU-T Y.1731, the NE40E supports performance management to measure the delay, jitter, and packet loss ratio when messages are transmitted. In this manner, the NE40E can detect the end-to-end performance of traffic in a specified time period and on a specified network segment.

Cooperating with performance management tools such as U2000, NE40E can provide SDH-like network OAM, service-oriented, intelligent warning, and refined positioning. By supporting efficient and precise performance measurement and test technologies such as IP FPM, TWAMP, RFC2544, and G.8032, the NE40E can help to simplify OAM and significantly save on OPEX. In addition, the ISP can monitor the network status in real time through the NMS — allowing the ISP to then check whether the forwarding capacity of the network complies with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) signed with users, and locate faults. The ISP does not need to carry out detection on the user side, which greatly decreases maintenance costs.
