Questions & Answers
What is the MX10K-LC2101-IR line card and which platforms does it support?
The MX10K-LC2101-IR is a high-density interface module designed for Juniper Networks JNP10008 and MX10008 routers, enabling scalable connectivity with 100G, 40G, and 10G ports.
How many ports and what speeds does the MX10K-LC2101-IR provide?
It delivers 24 100GbE ports, 24 40GbE ports, and 96 10GbE ports, all operating at full wire-speed to accommodate diverse network demands.
What is Integrated Routing (IR) mode on the MX10K-LC2101-IR?
Integrated Routing (IR) mode enables wire-speed packet forwarding with minimal latency by locally handling ingress and egress traffic on the line card without fabric switching delays.
Which Junos OS releases support the MX10K-LC2101-IR?
The MX10K-LC2101-IR is supported on Junos OS versions 18.2 and later, ensuring advanced routing, automation, and security features.
What power and cooling requirements does the MX10K-LC2101-IR have?
Each line card requires up to 350W of power and is compatible with the MX10008’s redundant, front-to-back cooling architecture for optimal thermal performance.
How do I install the MX10K-LC2101-IR in an MX10008 chassis?
Slide the hot-swappable card into the designated slot until the ejector handles latch, secure the captive screws, and verify the status LED is green to complete installation.
Which optical modules are compatible with the MX10K-LC2101-IR?
It supports standard QSFP28 100G-IR4, QSFP+ 40G-SR4, and SFP+ 10G-SR modules certified by Juniper for optimal performance and reach.

Are there any software feature licenses required?
The line card functionality is included in the base MX10008 license; advanced features like MPLS or segment routing require corresponding Junos feature licenses.
What is the lead time for ordering the MX10K-LC2101-IR?
Standard lead times range from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on region and distributor inventory; expedited options are available upon request.
How does the MX10K-LC2101-IR differ from the non-IR line card?
Compared to non-IR variants, the IR model achieves lower latency and full line-card forwarding independence by processing traffic locally without fabric traversal.
