H3C CR16000-M routers are digital era-oriented cloud service routers applicable to government, finance, transport, power grid, healthcare, education, and carriers. With a carrier-level HA and programmable NP architecture design, the router provides abundant features to process cloud services, carrier-level high availability, and exceptional forwarding capacity.
With high-density 100GE, 10GE, and GE ports and 155M/622M/2.5G POS, CPOS, and E1/T1 WAN ports, the routers can be deployed at different network positions. The router runs the state-of-the-art Comware network operating system, which is open, containerized, and programmable to meet user requirements in new businesses.
The router offers the following features:
SRv6, which provides customized programming, global control and scheduling, open network construction, simplified Ops deployment, and visible display in cooperating with AD-WAN controllers.
iFIT, which provides visible service quality display and fast troubleshooting.
FlexE and channelized sub-interfaces, which meet the network slicing requirement at different layers, allowing for strict isolation of different services and SLA for key services.
Supports SRv6, which allows one-hop access to the cloud and simplifies service provisioning.
Supports iFIT and Telemetry, enabling service status report in real time and granular network monitoring for refined management and effective service assurance.
Supports AD-WAN carrier and branch network solutions, enabling network intelligent scheduling and refined management and prediction of network trends through service emulation and failure testing.
Supports network slicing technologies such as FlexE, channelized sub-interfaces, and Flex-Algo. Using network slices at different layers including the physical layer, network layer, and transport layer, the router can separate services of different tenants in the cloud and provides SLA for different services.
With the carrier-level hardware framework design, the router supports physical isolation of control, services, and switching, and provides independent switching fabric modules.
Supports MPU and switching fabric module 1+1 redundancy.
Supports front-to-rear airflow and supports redundant fan trays that provide 12 fans in total.
Supports power module N+M redundancy and built-in AC and DC power modules.
Supports BFD for BGP/IS-IS/RIP/OSPF/static routing and NSR/GR switchover.
High-efficient heat dissipation—Adopts the front-to-rear airflow design, increasing heat dissipation efficiency by 40%. The router uses fan tray micro-modularization to make sure that the average module temperature is 5°C (41°F) lower than that in traditional mode. It also supports stable heat dissipation through air deflectors.
Energy efficiency and consumption reduction—Supports low-power mode configuration through SerDes, cutting-edge DDR controllers, on-demand core startup, and flexible processor frequency configuration. Compared to the preceding generation, the NPs used on the CR16000-M routers have reduced power consumption by 41%.
Intelligent power module management—Supports powering on modules in turn, which ensures long operation of the router and decreases EMI.
Automatic fan speed adjustment—Supports fan tray status monitoring and fault alarms based on module temperature and automatic fan speed adjustment based on the ambient temperature and module configuration to reduce power consumption and operating noise.
