New Juniper JNP-MIC1

Juniper JNP-MIC1 NEW

Overview

The Juniper JNP-MIC1 is a Modular Interface Card (MIC) used with Juniper Networks' MX Series routers. The MICs are designed to provide physical network interfaces in a modular form for various port speeds and types.

The Juniper JNP-MIC1 Modular Interface Card offers flexible high-performance Ethernet interfaces for use in Juniper's MX Series routers. It supports a variety of port configurations and is designed to handle high throughput for Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing, making it ideal for service providers, data centers, and large enterprises.

For more specific details, such as port configurations and options for a particular deployment scenario, it's essential to consider the specific MIC variant that fits your requirements (e.g., MIC-3D-20GE-SFP, MIC-3D-2X100GE-QSF28, etc.).

Below are the key specifications and features of the JNP-MIC1:

Specifications

• Product Name: Juniper JNP-MIC1 Modular Interface Card (MIC)
• Type: MIC for Juniper MX Series routers
• Chassis Compatibility: Compatible with various Juniper MX Series routers, such as MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2000 series, and others that support MIC slots.
• Interface: Modular form factor that plugs into the MPC (Modular Port Concentrator) or directly into MIC slots on compatible routers.
• 2. Interfaces and Ports
• Available Port Configurations: The JNP-MIC1 can be configured with different types of ports, but typically provides options for various Ethernet and optical interfaces depending on the version of the MIC. Some common configurations include:
• 10G Ethernet (SFP+ interfaces)
• 40G Ethernet (QSFP+ interfaces)
• 100G Ethernet (QSFP28 interfaces)
• Physical Ports: Dependent on the specific MIC variant (such as MIC-3D-20GE-SFP or MIC-3D-2X100GE-QSF28, etc.), which may offer configurations like:
• 20 x 1GE SFP
• 2 x 100GE QSFP28
• 4 x 10GE SFP+
• Other combinations of port speeds and types depending on the specific MIC.
• 3. Performance
• Throughput: The throughput performance of the JNP-MIC1 depends on the model and how it's configured in the MX router. Generally, MICs are designed to handle line-rate forwarding across all ports.
• Forwarding Capabilities: Supports distributed forwarding for high-performance routing and switching, reducing the load on the control plane.
• 4. Supported Protocols
• Ethernet: Full support for IEEE 802.3 standards for Ethernet connectivity.
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 Protocols: Full support for Layer 2 Ethernet switching and Layer 3 IP routing (IPv4 and IPv6).
• MPLS: Supports Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) for traffic engineering and VPNs.
• VXLAN: Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) for overlay network virtualization.
• L2VPN/L3VPN: Supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs, making it suitable for service provider environments.
• 5. Redundancy and Reliability
• Hot-Swappable: Supports hot-swapping, meaning the MIC can be replaced or upgraded without interrupting the operation of the MX router.
• Redundancy: Often deployed in routers with redundant MPCs and power supplies for high availability.
• 6. Power Consumption
• Power Draw: The power consumption varies depending on the specific MIC model and the number/type of ports populated. MICs generally have low power consumption relative to other line cards or MPCs, but details should be verified for specific variants.
• Typically, the power draw ranges from 50W to 150W based on the configuration.
• 7. Environmental Specifications
• Operating Temperature: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C)
• Storage Temperature: -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C)
• Humidity: 5% to 90% non-condensing for operation
• 8. Applications
• Service Provider Networks: Used in edge, aggregation, and core layers of service provider networks for high-performance routing.
• Data Centers: Suitable for data center interconnect (DCI), WAN edge, or cloud network environments.
• Enterprise Networks: Scalable for large enterprise deployments requiring robust routing and high-throughput interfaces.
• 9. Chassis Compatibility
• MX Series Routers: Compatible with a wide range of Juniper MX routers, including:
• MX240
• MX480
• MX960
• MX2000 series
• This flexibility allows it to be used across different MX router platforms that support MIC and MPC slots.
• 10. Compliance
• RoHS: Compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive.
• Safety and Emissions Standards: Complies with major safety and emissions standards globally.
