H3C SR6608-M Intelligent Aggregation Router

Cloud-native operating system

With the cutting-edge containerized network operating system and powerful computing capability, the router can provide cloud computing and edge computing services in high performance.

Equipped with the Comware 9 cloud-native operating system and intelligent service acceleration engine, the router, driven by these two engines, significantly improves service performance.

Pre-definition of forwarding paths, structure optimization of forwarding entries, and high-performance concurrency processing algorithms greatly improve high-concurrency forwarding performance.

With rich network features as well as routing, QoS, MPLS, multicast, VPN, and security features, the router is suitable for various business scenarios and can address the needs for business scaling.

Open use environment and programmable, containerized, and scalable system enable the router to easily adapt to new business scenarios and customer needs.

Fully compatible with SDN

With full support for AD-WAN carrier and branch solutions, the router, in collaboration with H3C controller and analyzer, allows intelligent network orchestration and visualized management.

Advanced features such as SR/SRv6, iFIT, EVPN, and telemetry provide the basis for intelligent network management and detailed analytics solutions.

Channelized bandwidth configuration for sub-interfaces in Kbps and 100G/50G/10G FlexE interface channelization in small granularity with a minimum granularity of 10 Mbps enable the router to provide isolation and bandwidth guarantee for critical network services.

Carrier-class high availability

With high availability designs in hardware, including redundant MPU forwarding, N+M power supply redundancy, and fan tray redundancy, the router enhances system availability. Support for hotfix in software allows smooth software upgrade and ensures service continuity during software upgrade.

The highly reliable, resilient dual-machine virtualization technology which is first in the industry greatly improves the dual-machine system reliability and promises flexible network business scalability.

BFD association with FRR, NSR, and GR enables 50 ms-level link switchover in the event of a link failure.

Industry-leading SD-WAN performance

The physical SD-WAN service acceleration card that provides intelligent distributed traffic processing breaks through the bottleneck of the traditional forwarding model, and enables the router to provide industry-leading SD-WAN performance and high-concurrency data aggregation capability.

The router delivers rich VPN networking solutions, including IPSec, L2TP, GRE, ADVPN, and MPLS VPN, and supports overlapping of multiple VPN technologies.

All-round network security protection

Portal, and PPPoE access authentication methods provide access control based on combinations of username, password, IP address, or MAC address. In collaboration with the H3C EAD solution, the router ensures all-round access control for endpoints.

Integration of a high-speed encryption engine, the router delivers high-performance encryption capability.

The built-in firewall delivers packet filtering and DoS attack prevention features, which protect the router from malformed packet attacks, flooding attacks, and scanning attacks.

With deep packet inspection (DPI) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) features, the router provides deep network security protection.

Innovative electromechanical designs, energy efficient and environmentally friendly

The router meets the RoHS standard, complies with the carbon neutrality strategy, and supports carbon emission management. A lifecycle carbon footprint analysis has been conducted for the router according to the ISO14040 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method and ISO14067 requirements and guidelines for product carbon footprint quantification, and a carbon emission report has been issued.

Front-rear cut-through air aisles improve heat dissipation efficiency. With intelligent fan speed regulation, the system can adjust the fan speed based on the internal temperature, which not only reduces fan noise but also reduces energy consumption.

Innovative electromechanical designs such as cabling from a single side and hot swapping of power supplies, fan trays, and service modules facilitate maintenance and operation.

AD-WAN headquarter-branch network

The SR6608-M router supports the H3C AD-WAN branch solution. You can deploy SR6608-M routers as core nodes at the headquarters on an AD-WAN headquarter-branch network. With an AD-WAN encryption performance accelerator card, the router can converge traffic from massive branch nodes to the headquarters. The routers, in collaboration with the AD-WAN solution, can use intelligent routing to select optimal links for different applications based on the link quality, which will greatly improve the user experience on the WAN network.

AD-WAN headquarter-branch network

AD-WAN carrier network

The SR6608-M router supports the H3C AD-WAN carrier network solution, and can be deployed as the core egress node at the provincial and municipal tier on the AD-WAN carrier network. With advanced features such as SR/SRv6, iFIT, EVPN, and telemetry, the router, in collaboration with the AD-WAN carrier network solution, can provide customers with a variety of value-added services such as automated service deployment, network optimization, multi-dimensional visualization, and intelligent analysis and bring superior user experience.

Finance north-south network

This is a typical north-south network solution in the finance industry. As shown in the figure, two SR6608-M routers at the city branch bank are used as the upstream convergence routers of bank outlets, and two SR6608-M routers send aggregated traffic to the provincial bank. At the city branch bank, the SR6608-M on the left is mainly used for production services, and the SR6608-M on the right is mainly used for office services. The two SR6608-M routers backup each other.

To solve the issue that MSTP link failure cannot be perceived, this solution deploys BFD between SR6608-Ms and the outlet routes, and associates BFD with OSPF. In the event of an MSTP link failure, the routers at the two ends can quickly perceive and trigger OSPF protocol convergence to achieve rapid service switching.
