Board(NE40E)
Physical Board Function
SRU: Switching
Route Unit
The SRU controls and manages the system.
SFU: Switching
Fabric Unit
The SFU performs the switching function,
supports expeditious data exchange.
SPU: Service
Processing Unit
The SPU performs functions such as service
control, user packet forwarding, flow control,
quality of service (QoS), and packet inspection.
LPU: Line Processing
Unit
The LPU provides physical interfaces that
connect the GGSN9811 to NEs or external
networks

There are 4 SFU in the GGSN9811:
two stand alone SFU boards and
two SFU modules in two SRU
boards.
These 4 SFU work in load share
mode.

Hardware Architecture

Internal Connection
The GGSN9811 subrack contains two types of data
exchange planes:
Ethernet management
For operation and maintenance
Service data exchange planes
For service

Ethernet Management Planes
The GGSN9811 subrack consists of two Ethernet
management planes: plane A and plane B. The two
planes form the dual star topology. The bandwidth
between a management plane and a service board is 100
Mbit/s.

Service Data Exchange Planes
The two SFU modules embedded in the two SRUs form
four exchange planes with the two SFUs.

Power Supply Monitoring
The power supply monitoring module can monitor the
power distribution box (PDB) and power supplies of the
subrack.
The subrack internal power supply module is monitored by
the SRU.
PDB monitoring

Fan Monitoring
The GGSN9811 subrack is equipped with a fan box on
the top. The fan box consists of nine fans and one fan
monitoring module. The fan monitoring module is used
to monitor the running status of fans and control the fan
speed.
