Huawei switches can be classified into modular switches and fixed-configuration switches based on their hardware architectures.

Modular switches support separate functional boards, including Main Processing Units (MPUs), Switch Fabric Units (SFUs), and Line Processing Units (LPUs). These components provide system management, switching fabric capacity, packet processing, and other functions.

Additional boards may provide monitoring or specialized service capabilities, depending on the device model.

Fixed switches use a different architecture. Their major processing and switching functions are integrated into a fixed chassis rather than implemented through the same independent, replaceable board structure.

Fixed switches generally provide a predetermined number of physical interfaces and are commonly deployed at the network access layer.

Consequently, the claim that both modular and fixed switches implement their functions through independent boards is incorrect.

The correct answer is FALSE.
