Q
How do I verify the operational status of a TXP module?
A
Use the Junos CLI command \
Q
Can I mix different TXP module types in the same Juniper router?
A
You may combine TXP Modules of the same generation and class in an MX Series chassis, but mixing across incompatible classes or generations is not supported.
Q

Q
What is the performance impact of upgrading to a higher-capacity TXP module?
A
Upgrading to a higher-capacity TXP Module increases port density and throughput line rates while requiring proportional power, cooling, and JUNOS licensing considerations.
Q
What are the power consumption and thermal requirements of TXP modules?
A
TXP Modules typically consume between 70 W and 160 W per card and require an ambient operating range of 0 °C to 40 °C with relative humidity of 5 %–90 % non-condensing; refer to the product datasheet for exact specifications.
Q
Which JUNOS software versions support TXP modules on Juniper routers?
A
