MX2008-BASE Use Case
Hyperscale Data Center Spine Aggregation with MX2008-BASE-MX2008,10-Slot MX2008 Chassis
In a 5,000-server cloud data center requiring sub-5 µs latency and non-blocking 19 Tbps throughput, network architects deploy the MX2008-BASE-MX2008,10-Slot MX2008 Chassis as the spine layer. Its support for up to 320×100 GbE ports and Virtual Chassis Fabric simplifies leaf-to-spine topologies, collapses switching tiers, and delivers 35% lower power consumption. As a result, providers accelerate east–west VM migrations, slash operational complexity, and reduce TCO by 25%.
Enterprise Campus Core & Data Center Interconnect Using MX2008-BASE-MX2008,10-Slot MX2008 Chassis
A Fortune 500 campus with 20+ buildings leverages the MX2008-BASE-MX2008,10-Slot MX2008 Chassis at its core to aggregate 1 GbE/10 GbE access switches and deliver seamless layer 2/3 mobility to its on-prem data center. Redundant power supplies, field-replaceable fans, and mixed 25/40/100 GbE port modules ensure 99.999% availability. The deployment simplifies network scaling, supports 3× annual bandwidth growth, and cuts network OPEX by consolidating disparate routers and switches into a single high-density platform.
Service Provider Multi-Service Edge Routing with MX2008-BASE-MX2008,10-Slot MX2008 Chassis
A Tier 1 ISP uses the MX2008-BASE-MX2008,10-Slot MX2008 Chassis at regional PoPs to terminate broadband, mobile backhaul, and enterprise VPN services on one platform. High-performance line cards handle up to 1 million subscriber sessions with granular QoS, while Juniper’s Broadcom-based ASICs deliver wire-speed encryption and traffic engineering. This consolidation reduces site footprint by 50%, accelerates new service activation by 40%, and enhances margin through simplified operations and license-based feature scaling.

Does the MX2008 chassis support redundant power supplies?
Yes. The MX2008 chassis supports dual-redundant, hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies with load-sharing capability to ensure continuous operation during maintenance or failure.
How does cooling and airflow work in the MX2008?
The chassis uses front-to-back airflow with six hot-swappable fan trays. Intelligent fan speed control optimizes cooling and minimizes acoustic noise based on chassis temperature and module load.
What are the physical dimensions of the MX2008 chassis?
The MX2008 chassis measures 17.5 inches (H) x 19.0 inches (W) x 24.5 inches (D) and occupies 10 rack units (10U) in a standard 19-inch data center rack.
How much does the MX2008 chassis weigh?
The empty MX2008 chassis weighs approximately 110 lbs (50 kg). Fully populated with line cards, power and fan trays, it can weigh up to 160 lbs (73 kg).
How is the MX2008 installed in a rack?
The chassis mounts in a standard 19-inch rack using included front and rear mounting brackets. Cable management arms and leveling screws are provided to ensure stability and proper airflow.
What management interfaces does the MX2008 support?
Management options include a dedicated out-of-band management Ethernet port, console (RJ-45 and USB), and integration with Cisco Prime Infrastructure or third-party network management tools via SNMP, NetFlow and REST APIs.
What data throughput can each slot deliver?
Each line-card slot supports up to 2Tbps of fabric capacity, allowing aggregated chassis throughput of up to 20Tbps when fully populated with fabric modules.
Are line cards and power modules hot-swappable?
Yes. All line cards, power supplies and fan trays in the MX2008 chassis are front-removable and hot-swappable, enabling non-disruptive maintenance and upgrades.
What environmental specifications does the MX2008 meet?
The chassis meets NEBS Level 3, ETSI Class 3, RoHS compliance and operates in 0°C to 40°C ambient temperature (–40°C to 70°C storage) with 5%–95% non-condensing humidity.
What is the typical noise level of the MX2008 chassis?
Under typical load, the MX2008 chassis produces approximately 65 dBA of acoustic noise. Intelligent fan control reduces noise when full cooling capacity is not required.
What warranty and service options are available?
Cisco offers a limited lifetime hardware warranty for the MX2008 chassis, with optional SMARTnet support for 24x7 technical assistance, expedited hardware replacement and OS updates.
Where can I purchase the Cisco MX2008-BASE chassis?
