The HPE Networking 12904E Type X Main Processing Unit (MPU) is a critical component designed to power the control plane of HPE 12904E Comware switch chassis. It provides centralized processing for routing protocols, system management, and network intelligence, ensuring reliable and efficient switch operations.
Built for high-demand enterprise and data center environments, the Type X MPU supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, large routing tables, and fast protocol convergence. This enables consistent performance even under heavy traffic loads and complex network topologies.
Fully integrated with HPE Comware OS, the Type X MPU supports key protocols such as BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, IPv6, and advanced QoS mechanisms. This allows organizations to design scalable, secure, and resilient network architectures that adapt to evolving business needs.
The module supports high availability and redundancy, enabling dual MPU configurations within compatible chassis. Hot-swappable design minimizes service disruption during maintenance or hardware replacement, ensuring continuous network uptime.
Ideal for enterprise campus cores, service provider networks, and data center aggregation layers, the HPE 12904E Type X Main Processing Unit delivers the processing power, reliability, and scalability required for modern Comware-based modular switching environments.
