The HPE HSR6600 Router Series are high-performance service WAN routers, ideal for small-to-medium campus WAN edge and aggregation and high-end branch deployments. These routers are built with a high-performance multi-core networking processor that delivers, in a 2RU form factor, up to 15 Mpps IP forwarding, robust routing, QoS, MPLS, IP VPN, security, and modular WAN and LAN interface options, integrated into a single compact powerful routing platform. In addition, these routers feature robust carrier class reliability capabilities to reduce disruption from network or system failures.
20 Gbps Multi-service Routing Platform with Compact Modular Design
The HPE HSR6600 Router Series, leveraging advanced multi-core network processor, can deliver up to 20 Gbps bandwidth, 15 Mpps IP forwarding, 4.8 Gbps IPsec throughput and millions of NAT sessions without feature licensing, fully addressing the edge router performance requirement.
With on-board fixed Ethernet ports and optional modular interface cards, up to 36 x 1GbE or 6 x 10GbE can be supported in a 2RU compact edge routing platform. Besides high density Ethernet, legacy WAN like Serial, E1, T1, POS, CPOS are also supported to meet different connectivity needs.
Comprehensive Routing, Security and Quality of Service (QoS)
The HPE HSR6600 Router Series supports rich IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols including RIP/RIPng, OSPF/OSPFv3, IS-IS/IS-ISv6, BGP/BGP4+, PIM/PIM6, MSDP, MBGP, and policy-based routing delivering increased flexibility. Up to 4 million BGP RIB entries is supported to connect multiple ISPs.
The series supports comprehensive MPLS features, including LDP, MPLS TE, L3 VPN, L2 VPN, VPLS, Multicast VPN, 6PE, and 6vPE which provides more flexibility at cost-effective price-points.
Provides all-round security protection features including packet filtering, stateful firewall, ACL, attack detection and prevention, control plane rate limiting, uRPF, L2tp, GRE, IPSec VPN, and Auto-discovery VPN (ADVPN) and Group Domain VPN (GDVPN).
Offers advanced QoS features, including queue scheduling, congestion avoidance, congestion management, traffic policing, traffic shaping, priority marking, and hierarchical QoS.
Innovative System Virtualization with Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF)
The HPE HSR6600 Router Series uses IRF to implement system virtualization. IRF enables two HSR6600 Routers to form an IRF cluster and work as a single virtual device.
IRF simplifies management. Two routers work as one virtual device which simplifies device management and network topology management, improves operation and maintenance efficiency, and lowers maintenance costs.
IRF improves network availability. IRF allows for cross-chassis bundling of Ethernet and POS WAN links to implement load sharing and link backup. This mechanism enhances network redundancy, improves link utilization, removes single points of failure, and avoids service interruption.
IRF increases scalability. The virtual device has doubled slots, ports, and performance.
Carrier-class High Availability
The HSR6600 Router Series supports redundant power modules (AC or DC) and replaceable fan-tray. All line-cards and interface modules on the router are hot-swappable.
Comware network operating system is a proven, modular highly fault-tolerant and feature-rich operating system that operates across the Hewlett Packard Enterprise networking portfolio.
The series supports comprehensive high availability features that reduce service disruption including non-stop routing, graceful restart, BFD, VRRP, stateful failover, IGP fast convergence, in-service software upgrades (ISSU), fast reroute, and innovative IRF based multi-chassis resiliency.
