The comparison of NE40E-X3/ NE40E-X3A / NE40E-X8/ NE40E-X8A
HUAWEI NetEngine40E Universal Service Routers (NE40E for short) are Huawei high-end network products. Here, we would like to take a brief introduction about NE40E and do comparison of NE40E models.
NetEngine 40E Series
Based on a 2T platform, equipped with NP chipsets, and powered by its Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), the NetEngine 40E series provides the industry’s highest capacity 2T routing line cards. Combining performance with low power consumption, innovative Internet Protocol (IP) hard pipe technology, and quick evolution capabilities, NetEngine 40E routers meet the low latency and high reliability requirements of business-critical services as well as mature Wide Area Network (WAN) Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions. They can serve as core nodes on enterprise WANs, access nodes on large-scale enterprise networks, interconnection and aggregation nodes on campus networks, and edge nodes on large-scale Internet Data Center (IDC) networks.
NetEngine 40E is an award-winning series widely adopted by governments and industries, including electric power, transportation, broadcasting and television, and finance.

NMS U2000
The NE40E is managed by the Huawei iManager U2000 unified network management system (U2000). With an industry-leading flexible architecture, the U2000 provides rich and unified northbound interfaces (NBIs). U2000 supports multiple operating systems and provides multilingual graphical user interfaces (GUIs), such as the topology view, panel view, and terminal management view. You can use the U2000 to manage Huawei transport devices (such as WDM devices), access devices (such as DSLAM devices), and IP devices (such as routers and switches) in a centralized manner.
U2000 uses SNMP or NETCONF to communicate with the NE40E for management and maintenance.
U2000 allows you to:
- Manage distributed network devices in a centralized manner and deploy services in batches, reducing operation costs.
- Analyze network operating status and service bottlenecks so that network resources can be appropriately planned and allocated based on collected network performance statistics.
- Monitor, forecast, and detect network faults to improve network reliability and service quality.
From all above, the main difference of NE series models are forwarding performance and switching capacity, different services slots. Considering all the details information and to get the latest news, please feel free to contact [email protected], which will provide professional help for you.
