Alcatel‑Lucent 3he06151aaac01 8‑Port Interface Module – IPUIBKB3AA

The Alcatel‑Lucent 3he06151aaac01 is a high‑density interface line card featuring 8 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, designated with hardware code IPUIBKB3AA and additional identifier D02653. Designed for the 7750 Service Router (SR) chassis, this module provides wire‑speed forwarding, advanced QoS, and comprehensive MPLS and segment routing capabilities, making it ideal for carrier‑grade core, metro, and data centre interconnect applications.

Each port supports SFP+ optics, including copper DAC, short‑reach (SR), long‑reach (LR), and extended‑reach (ER) transceivers. The module integrates a multi‑core network processor with hardware acceleration for packet classification, filtering, and load balancing. It supports line‑rate performance even with complex services such as NAT, firewall, and deep packet inspection.

The IPUIBKB3AA variant includes enhanced memory for larger routing tables and ACLs, as well as improved power efficiency. It is hot‑swappable and fully managed through the 7750 SR’s SROS operating system, with full telemetry and performance monitoring.
