3.1 Overview
The CX600-X2-M16 is a high-end network device developed by Huawei. This device is based
on the VRP and applies to the access, convergence, and transmission of Metro Ethernet services.
The CX600-X2-M16 has great capabilities in network access, Layer 2 switching, and EoMPLS
transmission, and supports a wide range of high-speed and low-speed interfaces. Hence, the
CX600-X2-M16 supports triple-play of voice, video, and data services and can bear 2G/3G/LTE
services simultaneously. The CX600-X2-M16 can be deployed together with Huawei NE, CX,
and ME series products to build a Metro Ethernet network with a clear hierarchy and offer
extensive services. This chapter provides an overview of the CX600-X2-M16 hardware.
3.1.1 System Overview
System Overview
By adopting a centralized routing engine and NP forwarding structure, the CX600-X2-M16 has
a great capacity and can provide extensive services.
The CX600-X2-M16 adopts an integrated chassis that can be installed independently. The main
parts of the CX600-X2-M16 such as MPUs, NPUs, PICs, fan modules, and PSUs are hot-
swappable.
Figure 3-1 shows the outline of the CX600-X2-M16. The CX600-X2-M16 provides two slots
for NPUs and sixteen slots for PICs. The network process unit on the CX600-X2-M16 is
NPU. All the PICs perform data switching through the NPU.
