Port Configuration:

• • 12x QSFP+/QSFP28 Ports: These ports support various speeds, including 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and 100-Gigabit Ethernet.
  • Rate Selectability: You can configure different combinations of port speeds, ensuring flexibility for your network requirements.
  • Four 100-Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Specifically, port numbers 0/2, 0/5, 1/2, and 1/5 are dedicated to 100-Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Throughput:

• • Line-rate throughput of up to 480 Gbps on MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers.
  • On MX2000 routers with SFB, it achieves up to 400 Gbps, and up to 430 Gbps on MX2000 routers with SFB2.

Hardware Scalability:

• • Equipped with Junos Trio chipsets, enhancing scaling for bandwidth, subscribers, and services.
  • Supports maximum transmission units (MTUs) ranging from 256 bytes through 16,000 bytes for transit traffic and 256 bytes through 9,500 bytes for host-bound packets.

Environmental Considerations:

• • Operates at an ambient temperature of up to 40°C and at any altitude on MX960 routers.
  • At sea level, all MPC slots can host the MPC7E-MRATE line card at temperatures of up to 55°C. However, at an ambient temperature above 55°C, slot 11 cannot accommodate the MPC7E-MRATE line card.

Software Features:

• • Supports rate selectability at the port level.
  • By default, the ports are configured as 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
