Networking and Application
SD-WAN Using Hybrid Links
In the SD-WAN Solution, the NetEngine AR650 functions as the gateway for SMBs and small-sized enterprise branches, supporting hybrid access via multiple physical links like Internet and LTE. The solution leverages Huawei's Agile Controller for centralized management. The NetEngine AR650 offers extensive SD-WAN features for optimal service experience through intelligent application identification, traffic steering, and acceleration.

Diagram Description: The SD-WAN networking diagram illustrates connections between enterprise branches (AR600) and a headquarters/data center (AR6000/HQ/DC) via MPLS/leased lines and the Internet. It shows the iMaster NCE as the controller.
WAN Interconnection Scenario
NetEngine AR650 series routers serve as enterprise branch egresses, offering flexible WAN access methods for remote network connections. A single router supports private lines, Ethernet, 3G, LTE, and WLAN access, reducing deployment and maintenance costs.
Diagram Description: The WAN interconnection networking diagram shows a central Headquarter connected via MPLS to an AR6000. Enterprise branches (AR600) connect via DSL/Ethernet, Leased Line, and 3G/LTE to the WAN. WLAN access is also depicted.
Building Different Types of VPNs by Leveraging Internet Resources
The NetEngine AR650 provides secure access functions for communication between enterprise branches, and between branches and headquarters, enabling partner access. It supports secure tunnels like GRE VPN, IPSec VPN, DSVPN, L2TP VPN, and EVPN for secure data access and transmission. The routers facilitate quick tunnel deployment and authentication, allowing authorized partners remote access to enterprise resources.
Diagram Description: The VPN networking diagram illustrates a Headquarter connected via WAN to enterprise branches and out-office employees. Connections include L2TP VPN, IPSec VPN/DSVPN, and GRE VPN, connecting to AR6000/AR600 devices. Partners also connect to the network.
