5184 Router

The 5184 is a compact, secure aggregation router with integrated line-rate MACsec support and IPsec-ready ports on all interfaces. With dense 1/10/25/50GbE support and 100/200/400GbE aggregation, it scales to 1.6 Tb/s of routing and switching capacity. With hard and soft slicing, integrated FlexE aggregation on all 100/200/400GbE ports, and segment routing, the 5184 is purpose-built for 5G xHaul, mobile backhaul, data center interconnect, edge cloud, and secure private 5G routing.
