Overview of Edge Compute Appliance
The IEC6400 Edge Compute Appliance acts as the MPLS gateway in a URWB network. One of the most important functionalities of the IEC6400 gateway is to handle aggregated throughput up to 40 Gbps.
The IEC6400 gateway uses the Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB) technology with Cisco UCS C220 M6 Rack Server that enables you to extend the benefits of URWB to large-scale, high-capacity-demanding wireless networks. The IEC6400 gateway is designed to operate in URWB Layer 2 and 3 networks. It serves as an aggregation point for all the MPLS-over-the-communications within networks with numerous industrial wireless (IW) gateways requiring multi-Gbps aggregated throughput. IEC6400 gateway is part of the IW product’s family with Wi-Fi 6 capability.
The Cisco UCS C220 M6 server supports:
-
2x 10GBase-T Ethernet LAN on Motherboard (LOM) ports used as data ports
-
Support for an optional Cisco VIC, providing 4x 10/25G SFP28 data ports, which extends the throughput capability up to 40 Gbps
-
1x Gigabit Ethernet dedicated management port to access the UCS Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) interface. The IMC offers CLI and web interface to manage configurations of the gateway hardware.
-
2x power supply connectors
-
1 KVM port
-
Secure Boot
