MX10K-LC2101F-IR Use Case
Enterprise Campus Aggregation at 2.4 Tbps with MX10K-LC2101F-IR-2.4Tbps
In a high-density enterprise campus network, the MX10K-LC2101F-IR-2.4Tbps line card delivers full-scale L2/L2.5 switching and FIB/RIB at 2.4 Tbps, supporting up to 128K traffic queues per card. Licensed for six 100 GbE ports (0.6 Tbps), it aggregates hundreds of access switches while enforcing granular QoS for voice, video and data. Benefit: a simplified, low-latency core with predictable performance, seamless capacity growth and enterprise-grade traffic management.
Service Provider Metro Edge L3VPN for 32 Tenants
A regional service provider leverages the MX10K-LC2101F-IR-2.4Tbps line card to host up to 32 L3VPN instances on a single chassis, combining full-scale FIB/RIB with limited-scale L3 segmentation. With six licensed 100 GbE interfaces (max 0.6 Tbps), the operator delivers secure, isolated VPN services to business customers over a compact footprint. Outcome: rapid multi-tenant provisioning, deterministic routing performance and reduced OPEX through hardware-based VPN scalability.
Cloud Data Center EVPN-VXLAN Fabric with 128K Queues
In a cloud provider’s spine-leaf interconnect, the MX10K-LC2101F-IR-2.4Tbps line card powers EVPN-VXLAN overlays using full-scale L2.5 and FIB/RIB, while 128K queues per card enforce fine-grained traffic policies. Six active 100 GbE ports deliver up to 0.6 Tbps of inter-rack throughput for multi-tenant workloads. Benefit: high-performance east-west connectivity with hardware-accelerated segmentation, automated provisioning and consistent low-latency SLAs for virtualized workloads.
