Introduction

The VEP4600 platform is a one rack unit, x86-based networking platform running virtualized universal customer premise equipment

(uCPE) functions and basic switching/routing functions as a top-of-rack device. In addition, the VEP4600 platform has four 1000Base-T

user networking ports and two 10GbE small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) networking ports. The platform includes one or two hot-

swappable AC power supply units (PSUs) and four or five AC normal hot-swappable fan units, depending on the configuration.

There are two fixed VEP4600 Expansion Cards slots on the I/O side which permits networking expansion with the additional network

interface controller (NIC) ports.
