Purpose

This feature standardizes the board hardware in the

control plane and the user plane of the DPUe. This
feature improves hardware reuse efficiency and saves
customer investment.

Application Scenarios

If the traffic in the user plane is light, but the traffic model introduced
by smart phones is extended, the existing user-plane board can be
configured as a board.

If XPU series boards are deployed in the control plane but DPU series
boards are used for expansion, a customer may purchase DPUe as a
spare part. If the existing SPUb is faulty, it needs to be replaced with
the DPUe.

Application Scenarios

Advantages of the feature

Standardize the hardware of boards in the control plane and the user
plane of the DPUe, improve hardware reuse efficiency and saves
customer investment.

Constraints of the feature

The DPUa can be configured to implement the UCP/RUCP function of

the SPUb.

The SPUb cannot be configured to implement the UUP function of the

DPUe.

The DPUe and the SPUb cannot be mixed to work in active/standby

mode.

Design and Implementation Method

Function description
The integration of the control plane and the user plane is explained as follows: directly use DPUa boards to implement the functions of both the user plane and the control plane but a single DPUa cannot implement the function of the two planes at the same time.

The physical DPUe board can be configured to implement the UUP, UCP, or RUCP function. Therefore, functions are intact.
Note: One DPUe cannot provide both control-plane and user-plane functions.
The software package to be loaded varies with the logical function.

The physical DPUe board can be used as a spare part of the SPUb.

The DPUe and the SPUb cannot be mixed to work in active/standby mode.

System specifications and performance comparison

The DPUe is not inferior to the SPUb in performance after the DPUe is configured to implement the UCP/RUCP logical function.
(This is tested under the same service specifications.)

The service specifications of the DPUe that is configured to implement the UCP/RUCP logical function are the same as the service specifications of the SPUb.

Data Configuration Procedure

Add a DPUe and configure it to implement the UCP/RUCP

logical function.

Data Configuration Procedure

(Continued)
Add a DPUe and configure it to implement the UUP logical

function.

Page12

Data Configuration Procedure

(Continued)

You cannot configure the user plane (providing the UUP logical function) of the DPUe to implement the UCP/RUCP logical
function online. Instead, you need to delete and add the DPUe, and then configure it to implement the UCP/RUCP function.
See page 11.

The other data configuration and restrictions of the UCP/RUCP or UUP are not related to this feature and remain unchanged.

Configuration Procedure on the CME

Add DPUes (logical function: UCP or RUCP).

The procedure for navigating to the Add DPUe dialog box is as follows: On the Main View tab, right-click an
MBSC, and choose Device Panel from the shortcut menu. Right-click on a Cabinet tab, and choose XPU >
DPUe from the shortcut menu. The Add DPUe dialog box is displayed.
