Juniper MX2008 Router

The MX2008 Universal Routing Platform is an Ethernet-optimized router that provides both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The MX2008 router supports service provider core, converged core and edge, and edge applications, and enables a wide range of business and residential and services, including high-speed transport and VPN services, next-generation broadband multiplay services, and high-volume Internet data center internetworking.

The MX2008 router is 24 rack units (U) tall. One router can be installed in an open-frame rack, four-post rack, or cabinet. The MX2008 router has 10 dedicated line-card slots, which means a maximum of 10 Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) including adapter cards (ADCs) and Modular Interface Cards (MICs) can be installed on the MX2008. Up to 2 MICs can be installed in each MPC. Fully populated, the MX2008 router supports up to 20 MICs. The MX2008 host subsystem consists of two RCBs. The RCB is an integrated board and a single field-replaceable unit (FRU) that provides Routing Engine and Control Board functionality and supports virtualization. The router contains 8 Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs) that provides 7+1 redundancy.

High Scale and Density: Provides 16 Tbps of system capacity and support for up to 960 10GbE or 160 100GbE interfaces.

Carrier Grade Platform: Combines support for the carrier-grade Junos operating system with a fully redundant architecture for uninterrupted service availability under any network conditions.

Versatile MultiService Edge: Addresses core, edge, and converged edge and core applications with its ultra-high density and performance.

Investment Protection: Delivers outstanding scale for long-term traffic growth as well as an upgrade path for existing MX Series users, with support for the same Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) used on the MX2020, MX2010, MX960, MX480, and MX240 Universal Routing Platforms.
