NE5000E hardware architecture
The NE5000E has the following major boards: Main Processing Unit (MPU), Switch Fabric Unit
(SFU) and multiple Line Processing Units (LPUs). The key parts such as MPU, SFU, fan and power
supply adopt redundancy design, improving the reliability of the whole system. The interface types
of LPUs include GE, 10GE, 10G POS, 2.5G POS, and so on.
Logically, the NE5000E can be divided into three planes: data plane, control & management plane,
and monitoring plane. The three planes provide the following functions:
