CX600 Series Overview
The CX600 metro services platform is designed by Huawei to meet mobile transport networks' service and development requirements. Generally deployed at the aggregation or core layer of mobile transport networks, the CX600 series can work with Huawei ATN series routers to provide E2E multi-service transport solutions for wireless service and private line scenarios.
Leveraging distributed hardware-based forwarding and non-blocking switching technologies, the CX600 series features line-rate forwarding capabilities, excellent scalability, and strong service processing capabilities. To ensure reliable service transport, the CX600 is equipped with powerful service access and aggregation capabilities and supports flexible deployment of various services, such as L2VPN, L3VPN, EVPN, multicast VPN, Segment Routing-Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-MPLS), and Segment Routing IPv6 (SRv6).
The CX600 series includes devices that are applicable to networks of different scales: CX600-X16A, CX600-X8A.
- Provides a 2T routing line card per slot based on an industry-leading 2T platform, meeting future requirements for bandwidth growth.
- Provides various basic IP routing and value-added services through the Versatile Routing Platform (VRP).
- Various interfaces: supports 100GE, 50GE, 25GE, 10GE, and GE interfaces for various service access scenarios.
- Multi-service transport: supports flexible deployment of multiple services, such as EVPN, L2VPN, L3VPN, MVPN, SR-MPLS, and SRv6.
- Powerful routing capabilities: supports super large routing tables, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP-4, broadcast, unknown-unicast and multicast traffic (BUM) routing, simple and ciphertext authentication, as well as fast convergence, ensuring network stability and security in complex routing environments.
- Fully compatible with existing IPv6 networks, simplifying protocols, network configurations, and VPN implementation.
- Supports all-scenario protection switching as well as path, service, and application programmability for SLA assurance.
- Hard isolation: divides an Ethernet physical interface into multiple slices through hard slicing, achieving hard isolation of service bandwidth and meeting differentiated SLA requirements.
- Finest slicing granularity: provides 1 Gbps, which is the industry's finest slicing granularity, and improves interface bandwidth utilization.
- Innovative In-situ Flow Information Telemetry (iFIT) technology: enables in-band flow detection within milliseconds, accurately restores service paths, and works with iMaster NCE to implement correlation analysis for service experience and network KPIs, allowing faults to be intelligently demarcated within minutes.
- Efficient O&M: supports RFC 2544- and Y.1564-compliant tests for measuring network performance through simulated and self-sent packets, as well as one-click automated O&M tools, helping carriers simplify O&M and minimize OPEX.
