Questions & Answers
What is the MX2K-MPC8E-IRB line card bundle?
The MX2K-MPC8E-IRB is a 2-slot modular line card bundle for the MX2000 chassis providing 960 Gbps aggregate throughput, full-scale L2/L2.5/L3 features and up to 32 L3VPN instances per card.
What features are included in the MX2K-MPC8E-IRB price?
The price includes full-scale Layer 2, Layer 2.5 and Layer 3 feature licensing plus support for up to 32 L3VPN instances per MPC8E-IRB card.
Are interface cards included with the MX2K-MPC8E-IRB bundle?
No. Interface cards are sold separately; you must purchase compatible MPC interface cards to populate the two packet-forwarding slots.
Which MPC interface cards are compatible with MX2K-MPC8E-IRB?
The bundle supports Juniper MPC3E-8x10GE, MPC3E-2x40GE, MPC4E-532-LC and other approved MPC cards—refer to Juniper’s compatibility matrix for details.
What is the per-slot throughput capacity?
Each slot delivers 480 Gbps of bidirectional throughput, totaling 960 Gbps across both MPC8E-IRB cards.
How many L3VPN instances does the bundle support?
Each MPC8E-IRB card supports up to 32 concurrent Layer 3 VPN instances for scalable multi-tenant deployments.
Does the MX2K-MPC8E-IRB support EVPN and IRB functionality?
Yes. It provides EVPN multi-tenancy, IRB gateway services and advanced L2/L3 bridging to simplify network virtualization.
Which chassis platforms are compatible with MX2K-MPC8E-IRB?
The MPC8E-IRB is designed exclusively for the Juniper MX2000 chassis and is not compatible with earlier or other MX series platforms.
How do I install the MX2K-MPC8E-IRB on my MX2000?
Power down the MX2000 chassis, slide the MPC8E-IRB into an available slot, secure the retention latches, power on the system and configure via Junos OS.
Is Junos OS included with the MX2K-MPC8E-IRB?
Yes. Junos OS is integrated and no additional OS license is required for the bundled L2/L2.5/L3 and L3VPN features.
What is the power consumption of each MPC8E-IRB card?
Typical power consumption is 250 W per card; refer to the product datasheet for exact maximum and idle power figures.
Can I upgrade this bundle for higher throughput?
Yes. You can scale by adding additional MX2000 chassis populated with MPC8E-IRB cards or by upgrading to higher-capacity MPC options supported on MX2000.
What warranty and support options are available?
A one-year Juniper hardware warranty is included; Juniper Care can be purchased for extended support, hardware replacement and software updates.
How does the MPC8E-IRB improve multi-tenant network virtualization?
With 32 L3VPN instances per card and EVPN/IRB bridging, it enables highly segmented, scalable virtual networks and streamlined operations.
Are older MPC cards compatible with the MX2K-MPC8E-IRB slots?
No. MPC8E-IRB slots use a different forwarding architecture; older MPC models are not interchangeable with MPC8E-IRB.
Where can I find detailed specifications for MX2K-MPC8E-IRB?
Full mechanical, electrical and performance specifications are available on Juniper’s official website or in the MX2000 hardware technical documentation.
