The ZTE Wantong ISG 5800 and ISG 6800 are modular multi-service routers that combine routing, switching, NAT and VPN gateway functions in one chassis. The ISG 5800 (5800-4, 5800-8) is the aggregation family: an ARMv8 multi-core engine, 4 or 8 interface-card slots, two main control/forwarding boards in 1:1, 4G memory, a built-in stateful firewall and an optional SM-crypto encryption card, rated for 1,500–3,000 terminals. The ISG 6800 (6800-4E, 6800-8E) is the core family on ZXROS 5.0: separate control and forwarding planes, 8 fixed 10GE SFP+ ports, hardware ACL acceleration and 10,000 terminals. Both run OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, MPLS L2/L3 VPN, IPSec, DMVPN, GETVPN and SRv6, with 1+1 AC/DC/HVDC power. All specifications below are quoted from the manufacturer's datasheets — where a field was not published, we leave it out rather than guess.

Is this the right router series for you?

Plain-language guide — based only on what these routers actually do.

Enterprise & government egressOne router at the headquarters edge: BGP or static routes to one or more ISPs, static/dynamic NAT and PAT, policy-based routing to split traffic between links, VRRP and BFD for a second router, and QoS/HQoS to protect voice and video. The ISG 5800 also has a built-in stateful firewall.
Multi-branch VPN hubThe head-end for many branch offices: IPSec VPN, DMVPN, GETVPN, GRE and L2TP over the internet, or MPLS L2/L3 VPN over an operator network, with OSPF or BGP across the tunnels and SM1–SM4 national-crypto algorithms where required.
ISP & private-network aggregationAn aggregation or core node for ISPs, education and government networks: IS-IS/BGP, MPLS-TE with FRR, VPLS and VPWS, PWE3 circuit emulation (SAToP, CESoPSN) for legacy E1 services, and POS/CPOS cards for SDH links up to OC-48/STM-16.
Not the right pick if you need…
  • A compact router for a single branch or small office — the ZTE Wantong ISG access routers (ISG 1800-2S / 2800-4 / 3800-8) cover that
  • Application-level security such as intrusion prevention or antivirus at the internet edge — the ZTE Wantong ISG F-series next-generation firewalls
  • 4G cellular links or rugged hardware for outdoor cabinets and industrial sites — the ZTE Wantong ISG IR industrial routers

Who uses it, where it goes and how to plan the router

Written for the ZTE Wantong ISG 5800/6800 routers from their own specifications: 4 modular models with 4 or 8 interface-card slots, dual main control, 1+1 AC/DC/HVDC power, rated for 1,500–3,000 (5800) or 10,000 (6800) terminals.

Who it is for

  • Enterprise headquarters IT teams — One router (or a VRRP pair) at the internet edge with NAT, BGP or static routes to two ISPs, policy-based routing between links and HQoS so voice, video and ERP traffic keep their share.
  • Government and education networks — Aggregation of many sites over MPLS VPN or IPSec, IPv6 dual stack with transition tools such as NAT64 and 6PE, and SM1–SM4 algorithms where national cryptography is required.
  • ISPs and operators — Aggregation of enterprise customers and DCN: IS-IS/BGP, MPLS-TE with FRR, VPLS/VPWS, QinQ, POS/CPOS for SDH and PWE3 (SAToP, CESoPSN) to carry legacy E1 circuits over IP.
  • Companies with many branches — The VPN hub at headquarters or a regional office: DMVPN or IPSec tunnels from every branch, OSPF or BGP over the tunnels, and a second unit with VRRP and BFD for failover.

Where and how to install

  • 19-inch rack, short depth — All four chassis are 442 mm wide and only 200 mm deep, so they fit shallow wall cabinets as well as full racks. Heights are 88.1 mm (5800-4), 132.0 mm (5800-8), 175 mm (6800-4E) and 264 mm (6800-8E); reserve the rack units before ordering.
  • Support the weight — Bare weight is 9 kg, 12.5 kg, 15.5 kg and 22.5 kg. Use rack rails or a shelf, not only the front ears, and keep the heavier 6800 units low in the rack.
  • Two power feeds — Feed the two power modules from separate sources: two AC circuits, AC plus UPS, or AC plus the site's -48 V DC plant, since mixed AC and DC redundancy is supported. HVDC 240/336 V modules suit data rooms with high-voltage DC distribution.
  • Temperature and airflow — Rated for long-term operation at -5°C to +45°C and 5%–95% humidity without condensation. Fan speed adjusts automatically; keep the air paths clear and avoid closed cabinets without ventilation.
  • Console and management access — Each unit has an RJ45 console port (the 6800 adds Mini USB console, AUX and USB per main control card). Use the console or a USB drive for first setup, then manage over SSH, SNMP v3 or the web interface and keep Telnet off on internet-facing links.

ISG 5800 / 6800 planning: which of the 4 models

All four share the same routing, MPLS, VPN, QoS and management feature set; they differ in rated terminal count, number of card slots, fixed 10GE ports, control/forwarding redundancy and power module rating. WAN and LAN ports come from the interface cards fitted. Throughput and forwarding figures are not published in the datasheets.

  • Pick the ISG 5800-4 for a headquarters or regional hub of up to 1,500–3,000 terminals that needs NAT, a stateful firewall and IPSec/DMVPN to branches with a few interface cards.
  • Pick the ISG 5800-8 when the same site also has many E1, serial or SDH links to terminate — 8 slots leave room for TDM and POS/CPOS cards next to Ethernet.
  • Pick the ISG 6800-8E for a network core where no single card should stop traffic: two main control cards, two forwarding cards in 1+1 and two power modules, plus 8×10GE SFP+ toward the LAN core.

Aggregation & Core Router FAQ — ISG 5800 / 6800

ISG 5800 or ISG 6800 — which family should I choose?
Start from the size of the network behind the router. The ISG 5800 is rated for 1,500–3,000 terminals and suits a headquarters egress or a branch VPN hub of that size; it also has a built-in stateful firewall. The ISG 6800 is rated for 10,000 terminals, has 8 fixed 10GE SFP+ ports and separate forwarding cards, and is meant for large enterprise egress and the core of industry networks.
4 slots or 8 slots — how do I decide?
Count the interface cards you need today — Ethernet (10GE, GE/FE), POS/CPOS for SDH, E1/CE1 and V.35/V.24 serial — then add room for growth. The -4/-4E models have 4 slots in a lower chassis (88.1 mm and 175 mm high); the -8/-8E models have 8 slots (132.0 mm and 264 mm high). On the 6800-8E the second slot size also brings a second forwarding card in 1+1, which the 6800-4E does not have.
Which VPN types can I use to connect many branches to one ISG router?
Over the internet: IPSec VPN, DMVPN (useful when branches have dynamic addresses or need branch-to-branch tunnels), GETVPN, GRE and L2TP. Over an operator's MPLS network: MPLS L3VPN and L2VPN (VPWS, VPLS), including 6VPE for IPv6. OSPF or BGP can run across the tunnels, and SM1–SM4 algorithms are available where Chinese national cryptography is required. The datasheets do not publish a maximum tunnel count, so send us your branch number and we will size it.
What redundancy do these routers have inside one chassis?
All four models have two main control boards in 1:1 and two power supplies in 1+1, and the boards are hot-swappable. On the ISG 5800 the main control and forwarding functions sit on the same two boards; the ISG 6800 separates them, with one forwarding card on the 6800-4E and two in 1+1 on the 6800-8E. Between chassis, use VRRP with BFD, FRR, link aggregation and pseudowire redundancy; the system availability class is 99.999%.
Can these routers run on -48 V DC in a telecom room or on site power?
Yes. Every model takes AC 100–240 V, -48 V DC or 240/336 V HVDC (192–400 V) power modules in 1+1, and AC and DC modules can be mixed for redundancy — for example one on mains and one on the site's -48 V battery plant. Each module is rated 250 W on the ISG 5800 and 500 W on the ISG 6800; actual consumption is not published and depends on the cards fitted.
Can I order under my own company name and use my own forwarder?
Yes to both. Corporate buyers can have the purchase order submitted to the manufacturer under their own company name, so your company appears on the official order. For small and mid-size orders we also deliver directly to your designated forwarder's warehouse in China on EXW or FOB terms.
Do I still need a separate firewall with these routers?
It depends on the security policy. The ISG 5800 has a built-in firewall with packet filtering and stateful inspection; both families have ACL filtering, URPF, anti-DoS control-plane protection and NAT. Intrusion prevention, antivirus or application control are not listed, and the ISG 6800 datasheet does not list a built-in firewall, so where those are required put a ZTE Wantong F-series firewall beside the router.
Will the ISG 5800/6800 work with Cisco, Huawei or H3C routers at the other end?
Yes, through standard protocols: OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, LDP and RSVP-TE, MPLS L2/L3 VPN, IPSec, GRE and L2TP, VRRP, BFD, PPP/HDLC and SNMP. DMVPN and GETVPN interoperability should be tested in the specific design. The CLI is ZTE Wantong's own command set, so existing configuration templates need translating; we can do that as part of the configuration.
Can these routers help us move to IPv6 gradually?
Yes. They run IPv4 and IPv6 in dual stack with IPv6 versions of the routing protocols (RIPng, OSPFv3, IS-ISv6, BGP4+), DHCPv6 server/relay and MLD multicast. For the transition period they support tunnels (6in4, 6to4, 4in6, 6rd, ISATAP), translation (NAT64) and 6PE/6VPE to carry IPv6 across an IPv4 MPLS network.
How quickly can a new site be brought online, and how are upgrades handled?
The routers support USB-drive commissioning and auto-config, so a technician on site can load a prepared configuration without typing commands. Software can be upgraded from a USB drive or in batches from the network management system, and the web interface has one-click service creation on the ISG 6800. SQA, Ethernet OAM, MPLS OAM and BFD then monitor link quality in operation.
Can the router carry old E1 or serial services while we move to IP?
Yes. E1/CE1 and V.35/V.24 sync/async serial cards terminate legacy links directly, PPP, HDLC and Frame Relay are supported at Layer 2, and PWE3 circuit emulation (SAToP and CESoPSN) carries E1 circuits across an IP/MPLS network. POS and CPOS cards connect to SDH at OC-3/STM-1 up to OC-48/STM-16. Tell us how many links of each type you have and we will plan the card mix.
Can I order one unit first, and how does it reach my country?
Yes — a single sample can be ordered and sent by air. For larger orders we deliver EXW or FOB to your freight forwarder's warehouse in China, or arrange air or sea freight to your country on request. Every shipment comes with a commercial invoice and packing list for customs; import duties and VAT in your country are not included unless agreed in writing.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer (T/T) in US dollars against our proforma invoice, which lists the model, quantity, unit price, delivery terms and lead time. You can check our company details on the verification page before you pay.
