Huawei NetEngine 40E‑M2 (NE40E‑M2) Universal Service Router Full Product Description
1. Short Overview
TheHuawei NetEngine 40E‑M2 (NE40E‑M2)is a compact 2U high‑density universal‑service router of the NE40E‑M2 family, running Huawei VRP operating system. The M2 series includes multiple sub‑models: NE40E‑M2F, M2H, M2K and M2E, equipped with 2 PIC sub‑slots for flexible interface expansion. It targets carrier metro edge, service aggregation, IP‑RAN gateway, enterprise WAN egress, vertical‑industry convergence and small‑size DC‑edge scenarios. It supports SR‑MPLS, partial SRv6, EVPN, MPLS VPN and rich L2/L3 service features. Key components such as power supplies and fan trays support 1+1 redundancy, delivering carrier‑grade reliability for space‑constrained equipment rooms. Cooperating with iMaster NCE‑Controller, it supports zero‑touch provisioning, Telemetry and unified O&M for medium‑and‑small‑scale IP bearer networks.
Naming & Variant Breakdown
-
NE40E‑M2 series: 2U rack‑mount chassis, total 2 PIC sub‑slots; variants: M2E, M2F, M2H, M2K; supports ‑48V DC and AC power input.
-
NE40E‑M2K: High‑end variant of M2 family with larger switching capacity and forwarding performance.
-
NE40E‑X3/X8/X16: X‑series large‑capacity distributed routers for metro‑core and backbone‑edge, much bigger capacity than M2 series.
Difference vs other models: NE40E‑M2 is a compact 2U box‑type router for edge‑aggregation. Compared with NE40E‑X3 distributed chassis, M2 features smaller footprint, lower power consumption and cost‑effective for edge sites, while X‑series provides higher capacity and full hardware‑accelerated SRv6/FlexE for core aggregation scenarios.
