Huawei AR6280 - Router

The Huawei AR6280 is a modular router designed for medium to large-scale enterprise and service-provider edge networks. Unlike fixed-port routers, the AR6280 uses a modular architecture. Administrators configure the chassis with specific interface and service cards to suit their infrastructure, allowing for updates as bandwidth needs or connectivity standards change.

The hardware design prioritises flexibility. The chassis requires compatible Huawei modules to function, and it supports various module types to accommodate different network requirements and data capacities. Using this platform allows for the independent replacement or upgrade of routing elements as traffic demands increase, avoiding the need for a full hardware overhaul.

• 1 SRU slot for the main service routing module
• 4 SIC slots for standard network interface cards
• 2 WSIC slots for double-width expansion cards
• 2 XSIC slots for high-capacity interfaces
• 2 power slots for redundant power supplies
