Questions & Answers
What is the Juniper MX960-PREMIUM2-AC with configurable redundant RE, SCBs, PEMs, and cable manager?
The MX960-PREMIUM2-AC is a high-capacity Juniper MX960 base chassis configured with dual redundant premium routing engines (REs), modular switch control boards (SCBs), redundant AC power entry modules (PEMs), and an integrated cable manager for optimized data center deployment.
Which components are included in the MX960-PREMIUM2-AC SKU?
This SKU includes the MX960 chassis, two RE-PREMIUM2 routing engines, four SCB2 switch control boards, two AC-PEM5 power entry modules with N+1 redundancy, and the factory-installed cable manager.
How does the redundant routing engine architecture work on the MX960?
The MX960’s active-passive redundant routing engines operate in synchronization; if the primary RE fails, the standby RE automatically takes over, ensuring uninterrupted control-plane operations.
What switching and forwarding capacity does the MX960-PREMIUM2-AC deliver?
The MX960-PREMIUM2-AC supports up to 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity and up to 2.4 Bpps (billion packets per second) of forwarding performance within a single chassis.
Which AC power entry modules (PEMs) does the MX960-PREMIUM2-AC support?
It supports AC-PEM5 modules (3,000 W each) in an N+1 redundant configuration, delivering robust power availability and automatic load balancing.
What role do switch control boards (SCBs) play in the MX960?
SCBs provide the high-speed fabric for packet switching. The MX960-PREMIUM2-AC uses modular SCB2 boards to scale fabric capacity and deliver non-blocking throughput.
How does the integrated cable manager benefit deployments?
The cable manager organizes fiber and copper connections, reduces cable strain, improves airflow, and simplifies maintenance, accelerating time-to-service in rack environments.
What interface types are supported on the MX960-PREMIUM2-AC?
The platform supports modular line cards for 1GbE, 10GbE, 100GbE, and 400GbE interfaces, plus MPLS, VxLAN, and advanced Layer 2/3 services for carrier-grade networks.
How scalable is the MX960 chassis for future growth?
The MX960 offers eight line-card slots and four SCB slots, enabling scaling up to 1,280 ports of 100GbE or 320 ports of 400GbE with flexible interface mapping.
What high-availability features are built into the MX960-PREMIUM2-AC?
In addition to redundant REs and PEMs, the MX960 supports redundant SCBs, in-service software upgrades (ISSU), hitless fabric switching, and dual fan trays for continuous operation.
Which management and automation tools are available?
The MX960 runs Junos OS with CLI and J-Web GUI, integrates with Juniper Network Director, and supports automation via NETCONF, RESTful APIs, Python scripts, and Ansible modules.
What are the operating environment requirements for the MX960?
The MX960-PREMIUM2-AC operates in 0 °C to 45 °C ambient temperatures, up to 5,000 m altitude, with front-to-rear airflow and industry-standard rack mounting.
Are components in the MX960 hot-swappable?
Yes. Routing engines, line cards, SCBs, PEMs, and fan trays can be hot-swapped to minimize service interruption during maintenance or upgrades.
What typical use cases suit the MX960-PREMIUM2-AC?
Ideal for service provider core and edge aggregation, data center spine, and cloud interconnect scenarios demanding multi-Tbps throughput, low latency, and carrier-grade availability.
What warranty and support options are available for the MX960-PREMIUM2-AC?
Juniper provides a limited lifetime warranty, 24×7 customer support, and optional Juniper Care Flex services for hardware replacement, advanced RMA, and software updates.
