Questions & Answers
What is the PTX3K-FPC3-UPG-KIT?
The PTX3K-FPC3-UPG-KIT is a hardware upgrade kit for Juniper PTX3000 routers that enables support for third-generation small form-factor (SFF) FPC3 line cards in a fully loaded, fully redundant configuration.
Which PTX3000 chassis models support the upgrade kit?
The PTX3K-FPC3-UPG-KIT is compatible with all PTX3000 series chassis, including PTX3000-36D, PTX3000-48D, and PTX3000-72D platforms.
What line cards are supported after installing this kit?
With the upgrade kit installed, PTX3000 chassis can accommodate third-generation SFF FPC3 line cards such as T64-S+ and T128-S+ for enhanced port density and performance.
What components are included in the upgrade kit?
The kit includes two upgraded fan tray assemblies, enhanced power distribution modules, inter-rack cabling, and installation guides required for full FPC3 support.
How do I install the PTX3K-FPC3-UPG-KIT?
Installation involves powering down the PTX3000 chassis, installing the new fan trays and power modules per the included instructions, and verifying system status via CLI.
Is system downtime required for installation?
Yes, a controlled maintenance window is required to power down the chassis safely and perform the hardware upgrade.
Are there any software or firmware prerequisites?
You must be running Junos OS version 21.2R1 or later and apply the FPC3 hardware macro patch, available via the Juniper support portal.
Do I need additional licenses after upgrading?
No additional hardware licenses are required; existing PTX3000 feature keys automatically extend to FPC3 line cards once the kit is installed.
Can I mix FPC2 and FPC3 cards in the same chassis?
Yes, PTX3000 chassis support mixed deployment of FPC2 and FPC3 cards, though full redundancy requires matched pairs in redundant slot groups.
What performance improvements can I expect?
FPC3 line cards deliver up to 1.2 Tbps per card, a 25% throughput increase over FPC2, plus improved latency and power efficiency.
How is redundancy handled after the upgrade?
The kit enables 1+1 redundancy for fan trays, power modules, and routing engines to ensure uninterrupted service in fully loaded configurations.
Will my power consumption change?
Power consumption increases by approximately 10% per chassis under full load, reflecting the higher throughput and additional cooling capacity.
Can I perform the upgrade in the field?
Yes, certified network engineers can complete the field installation following Juniper’s step-by-step procedures without returning hardware to the factory.
How do I verify the upgrade was successful?
After reboot, use the CLI command `show chassis hardware` to confirm FPC3 modules are recognized and `show system redundancy` to verify redundant components.
What warranty and support options are available?
The upgrade kit is covered under Juniper’s standard one-year warranty, and extended support contracts are available for hardware and software maintenance.
How do I order the PTX3K-FPC3-UPG-KIT?
Contact your Juniper reseller or log into the Juniper online store, search for SKU PTX3K-FPC3-UPG-KIT, and follow the checkout process to place your order.
