Description

The MX-MPC2-3D-Q is a Modular Port Concentrator (MPC2 Q) for the Juniper MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers. It is built for service provider and large enterprise edge routing, including L2VPN, L3VPN and VPLS deployments, and for subscriber or VLAN-level QoS where large queue counts are needed.

The card carries two Junos Trio packet forwarding engines and two MIC slots, labelled PIC 0/1 and PIC 2/3, so 1GbE and 10GbE MICs can be mixed on one card. Queuing is per-IFL hierarchical QoS with 256,000 queues, of which up to 128,000 are egress, and the card scales to 64K IFLs. It includes the full-scale L2/L2.5 and reduced-scale L3 feature set. Full-scale L3 needs the separate MX-MPC2-3D-Q-R-B bundle SKU.

The line card fits MX240, MX480 and MX960 chassis on Junos OS 10.1 and later, and MX2010 and MX2020 chassis on Junos OS 12.3 and later. It draws 6.13 A at 48 V (294 W) and weighs 14 lb (6.4 kg).
