MPC5E-40G10G-IRB Use Case
High-Density 40GbE Aggregation for Service Provider Backbones
In a national service provider backbone, the MPC5E-40G10G-IRB-MPC5E-40G10G MPC (price includes full scale L2, L2.5, L3 & 32 L3VPN licenses; optics sold separately) aggregates dozens of 10GbE and 40GbE cell-site feeds into a single MX router slot, delivering line-rate switching and routing. This deployment reduces rack space and CAPEX, streamlines OPEX with unified L2/L3 management, and supports up to 32 L3VPNs for multi-tenant service isolation.
Scalable Data Center Interconnect with Multi-Tenant L3VPN
An enterprise with geographically dispersed data centers uses the MPC5E-40G10G-IRB-MPC5E-40G10G MPC (full scale L2, L2.5, L3 & 32 L3VPN licenses included; optics sold separately) to build high-capacity DCI links at 40GbE. Leveraging its 32 L3VPN instances and full L3 routing, the solution delivers secure, segmented traffic flows, seamless failover, and predictable east-west performance at any scale.
Campus Edge Consolidation with Unified L2/L3 Services
A large university campus consolidates distribution and core layers by deploying the MPC5E-40G10G-IRB-MPC5E-40G10G MPC (price includes full scale L2, L2.5, L3 & 32 L3VPN licenses; optics sold separately) for both VLAN bridging and inter-VLAN routing. Integrated IRB simplifies layer-2 extension across buildings, while full scale L3 and L3VPN deliver isolated student, faculty, and guest networks—reducing hardware footprint and accelerating service provisioning.
