Huawei AR500 - AR2500 Used as the Industrial Switch

An AR500 or AR530 can function as a switch in industry fields to implement fast switching
on a data channel, which improves reliability.
In Figure 2-2, highway device access is used as an example.
Router A, Router B, Router C, and Router D are AR500 or AR530s and connected through
GE optical interfaces, constitute an open-ring network, and connect to the aggregation layer
ring network composed of monitoring subcenters. SEP runs on the open-ring network and
ensures fast switching of data channels between the four AR500 or AR530s.
