Description

The MPC4E-3D-2CGE-8XGE-IRB is a fixed-configuration Trio-based line card for Juniper MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers. It suits service-provider and enterprise edge, aggregation and core deployments that need high-density 100GbE and 10GbE with L2 and L3 services, including IP/MPLS edge, L3VPN, VPLS, mobile backhaul and business or residential Ethernet services.

The card provides two 100GbE CFP ports and eight 10GbE SFP+ ports, with up to 260 Gbps of line-rate throughput. The IRB bundle includes the full-scale L2/L2.5 and L3 feature licence, limited to up to 16 L3VPNs per MPC, which is what separates it from the -RB variant with full L3VPN scale. Worst-case power draw is 610 W (12.7 A at 48 V), although actual draw is typically much lower.

The card is supported in MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2010 and MX2020 chassis and runs Junos OS 12.3R2 or later. It requires SCBE switch fabric and high-capacity power supplies and fan trays. It is backward compatible with existing MX Series DPCs and Trio-based MPCs.

FAQs

Q: What does the IRB suffix mean on this line card?
A: The -IRB suffix denotes the bundle that includes the full-scale L2/L2.5 and L3 feature licence, limited to up to 16 L3VPNs per MPC. The -RB variant adds full L3VPN scale.

Q: Which MX chassis support the MPC4E-3D-2CGE-8XGE-IRB?
A: It is supported on the MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2010 and MX2020. It is not supported on the MX204. It requires SCBE switch fabric and high-capacity power supplies and fan trays.

Q: Which optics does it use?
A: The two 100GbE ports take CFP 100GBASE-LR4 or 100GBASE-SR10 optics. The eight 10GbE ports take SFP+ 10GBASE-LR, SR, ER or ZR optics.

Q: What power does the card need?
A: It draws power from the 48 V DC backplane, with a worst case of 610 W (12.7 A at 48 V). Actual draw is much lower, but high-capacity power supplies and fan trays are required.

Q: Are there slot restrictions in the chassis?
A: Yes. By default only 5 of 6 slots on an MX480 and 10 of 11 slots on an MX960 can be populated with MPC4E cards. Setting the ambient temperature to 25 or 40 C allows all slots to be populated.

Q: Which Junos OS release does it require?
A: Junos OS 12.3R2 or later is required.
