Introducing Multiservices MIC and Multiservices MPC (MS-MIC and MS-MPC)

In Junos OS Release 13.2, Juniper Networks introduces the Multiservices Modular Interfaces Card (MS-MIC) and the Multiservices Modular PIC Concentrator (MS-MPC) that provide improved scaling and high performance. The MS-MIC and MS-MPC have enhanced memory (16 GB for MS-MIC, 32 GB per NPU of MS-MPC) and processing capabilities.

The services interfaces on MS-MPC and MS-MIC are identified in the configuration with an ms- prefix (for example, ms-1/2/1). The following services packages come preinstalled and preconfigured on MS-MICs and MS-MPCs in Junos OS Release 13.2:

  • Junos Traffic Vision (formerly referred to as Jflow)
  • Junos Address Aware (formerly referred to as NAT features)
  • Junos VPN Site Secure (formerly referred to as IPsec features)
  • Junos Network Secure (formerly referred to as the Stateful Firewall feature)
  • Junos Services Crypto Base PIC Package
  • Junos Services Application Level Gateways

Note: You can check the default packages on an MS-MIC or MS-MPC by executing the show extension-provider system packages interface ms-interace operational mode command.

Table 1 lists the platforms on which the MS-MIC and MS-MPC are supported.
