Networking and Application

 SD-WAN Using Hybrid Links
In the SD-WAN Solution, the NetEngine AR6000 functions as the hub of medium- to large-sized enterprises or gateway of
large branches and supports hybrid access using multiple physical links, such as MPLS private lines and Internet links. The
solution also leverages Huawei's next-generation controller, the Agile Controller, which implements centralized and visualized
management. The NetEngine AR6000 provides extensive SD-WAN features and delivers optimal service experience for
enterprises through intelligent application identification, intelligent traffic steering, and intelligent acceleration. For details

SD-WAN networking

 Building Different Types of VPNs by Leveraging Internet Resources

The NetEngine AR6000 provides various secure access functions for communication between enterprise branches and
between branches and headquarters. These functions also allow an enterprise's partners to access its resources. Secure
tunnels such as GRE VPN, IPSec VPN, DSVPN, L2TP VPN, and EVPN tunnels can be set up between the headquarters and
branches for secure data access and transmission. The NetEngine AR6000 supports quick tunnel deployment and
authentication for branches. Furthermore, partners authenticated and authorized by the NetEngine AR6000 can remotely
access the enterprise resources over these tunnels.
The NetEngine AR6000 supports a wide selection of cards and meets the extended service security requirements. Data
encryption and decryption is hardware-based, greatly improving data encryption and decryption performance and providing
E2E security assurance for customers.

Ordering Information
Begin by ordering the chassis. Then select interface modules, any special licenses, and any desired accessories (SD card or
USB disk).
 Chassis Options
The device model is determined by the slot quantity, forwarding capacity and service features that you require.
 Interface modules
The interface modules, including SIC cards, WSIC cards and XSIC cards, are inserted into service card slots. Two SIC slots
can be combined into one WSIC slot by removing the guide rail, and two WSIC slots can be used as one XSIC slot by
removing the panel.
 Software
The basic software and licensed software are available. The basic software provides basic functions, such as routing,
switching, voice, and security. The licensed software provides additional functions, such as AC.
