NEW Juniper MX204-R Router, 8X 10GbE SFP+ Uplink, 4X 100GbE, 400 Gbps

Overview

The Juniper MX204-R is a compact, high-density, and high-performance edge router in Juniper Networks' MX Series, designed to meet the demands of service providers and enterprise networks. It provides advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing, MPLS, and VPN capabilities, supporting dense 100GbE and 10GbE interfaces within a compact form factor suitable for high-demand environments.

The MX204-R is designed to deliver high-density, scalable performance in compact edge and aggregation deployments. Its advanced features support a variety of service provider and enterprise applications requiring reliable, high-capacity routing capabilities.

The MX204-R refers to the Routing Engine (RE) module used in the MX204 router from Juniper Networks. The Routing Engine is a critical component responsible for managing the router's control plane functions, including routing protocols, forwarding tables, and system management tasks. It provides the intelligence for the router's operation and ensures its stability and reliability. The MX204-R module in particular is tailored for the MX204 router, offering optimized performance and functionality for its specific requirements.
