MX480 Interface Modules—MPCs and MICs

MIC/MPC Compatibility

The following tables provide a compatibility matrix for the MICs currently supported by MPC1, MPC2, MPC3, MPC6, MPC8, and MPC9 on MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2008, MX2010, MX2020, and MX10003 routers. Each table lists the first Junos OS release in which the MPC supports the MIC. For example, Junos OS Release 10.2 is the first release in which the MX-MPC1-3D supports the Gigabit Ethernet MIC with SFP. An en dash indicates that the MIC is not supported.

MX480 Modular Interface Card (MIC) Description

Modular Interface Cards (MICs) install into Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) and provide the physical connections to various network media types. MICs allow different physical interfaces to be supported on a single line card. You can install MICs of different media types on the MPC as long as the MPC supports those MICs.

MICs receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the network. During this process, each MIC performs framing and high-speed signaling for its media type. Before transmitting outgoing data packets through the MIC interfaces, the MPCs encapsulate the packets received.

MICs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. You can install up to two MICs in the slots in each MPC.

MX480 MIC Port and Interface Numbering

Each port on a MIC corresponds to a unique interface name in the CLI.

Note:

Fixed configuration MPCs, that is, MPCs with built-in MICs follow the port numbering of DPCs.

In the syntax of an interface name, a hyphen (-) separates the media type from the MPC number (represented as an FPC in the CLI). The MPC slot number corresponds to the first number in the interface. The second number in the interface corresponds to the logical PIC number. The last number in the interface matches the port number on the MIC. Slashes (/) separate the MPC number from the logical PIC number and port number:

type-fpc/pic/port

  • type—Media type, which identifies the network device. For example:

    • ge—Gigabit Ethernet interface

    • so—SONET/SDH interface

    • xe—10-Gigabit Ethernet interface

    For a complete list of media types, see Interface Naming Overview.

  • fpc—Slot in which the MPC is installed. On the MX480 router, the MPCs are represented in the CLI as FPC 0 through FPC 5.

  • pic—Logical PIC on the MIC, numbered 0 or 1 when installed in slot 0, and 2 or 3 when installed in slot 1. The number of logical PICs varies depending on the type of MIC. For example, a:

    • 20-port Gigabit Ethernet MIC has two logical PICs, numbered 0 and 1 when installed in slot 0, or 2 and 3 when installed in slot 1.

    • 4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MIC has two logical PICs numbered 0 and 1 when installed in slot 0, or 2 and 3 when installed in slot 1.

    • 100-Gigabit Ethernet MIC with CFP has one logical PIC numbered 0 when installed in slot 0, or 2 when installed in slot 1.

    For more information on specific MICs, see MICs Supported by MX Series Routers in the MX Series Interface Module Reference.

  • port—Port number.

Note:

The MIC number is not included in the interface name.

The MX480 router supports up to six MPCs that install horizontally and are numbered from bottom to top. Each MPC accepts up to two MICs.

Figure 1 shows a 20-port Gigabit Ethernet MIC with SFP installed in slot 0of an MPC in slot 3.

Note:

The 20-port Gigabit Ethernet MIC with SFP-E has a different port numbering. See Gigabit Ethernet MIC with SFP (E)

Figure 1: MX480 MIC Interface Port MappingMX480 MIC Interface Port Mapping

The MIC contains two logical PICs, numbered PIC 0 through PIC 1 in the CLI. Each logical PIC contains 10 ports numbered 0 through 9.

The following sample CLI output displays a 20-port Gigabit Ethernet MIC with SFP — 3D 20x 1GE(LAN) SFP — installed in slot 0 of an MPC in slot 3.

The show chassis hardware command output shows an MPC (MPC Type 2 3D EQ) installed in slot 3 and is shown as FPC 3 in the CLI. The MIC’s two logical PICs — 10x 1GE(LAN) SFP — are shown as PIC 0 and PIC 1.

The show interfaces terse command output displays the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, that correspond to the 20 ports located on the MIC.

MX480 Modular Interface Card (MIC) LEDs

Each MIC has LEDs located on the faceplate. For more information about LEDs on the MIC faceplate, see the “LEDs” section for each MIC in the MX Series Interface Module Reference.

MICs Supported by MX Series Routers

The following tables list the first supported Junos OS release for the MX Series.

  • Table 8 lists the first supported Junos OS release for MICs on MX240, MX480, MX960, and MX2008 routers.

  • Table 9 lists the first supported Junos OS release for MICs on MX2010 and MX2020 routers.

  • Table 10 list the first supported Junos OS release for MICs on MX5, MX10, and MX40 routers.

  • Table 11 lists the first supported Junos OS release for MICs on MX80 and MX104 routers.

  • Table 12 lists the first supported Junos OS release for MICs on MX10003 router.

MX480 Modular Port Concentrator (MPC) Description

Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) provide packet forwarding services. The MPCs are inserted into a slot in a router. Modular Interface Cards (MICs) provide the physical interfaces and install into the MPCs. You can install up to two MICs of different media types on the same MPC as long as the MPC supports those MICs.

A specialized fixed configuration MPC provides higher port density over MICs and combines packet forwarding and Ethernet interfaces onto a single line card. The fixed configuration MPC is inserted into a slot in a router and contains no slots for MICs.

MICs receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the network. During this process, each MIC performs framing and high-speed signaling for its media type. Before transmitting outgoing data packets through the MIC interfaces, the MPCs encapsulate the packets received. Each MPC is equipped with up to four Junos Trio chipsets, which perform control functions tailored to the MPC’s media type. The MPCs interface with the power supplies and Switch Control Boards (SCBs). You must install redundant SCBs to support full line-rate.

The MX480 router supports up to six MPCs. You must install a high-capacity fan tray to use an MPC. For power requirements, see Calculating Power Requirements for MX480 Routers.

The router has six dedicated line card slots for DPCs, MPCs, or FPCs that are numbered 0 through 5 bottom to top. An MPC can be installed in any slot on the router that supports MPCs. You can install any combination of line card types in the router.

When a slot is not occupied by an MPC or other line card, you must insert a blank DPC panel to fill the empty slot and ensure proper cooling of the system.

MPCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. When you install an MPC in an operating router, the Routing Engine downloads the MPC software, the MPC runs its diagnostics, and the Packet Forwarding Engines housed on the MPC are enabled. Forwarding on other MPCs continues uninterrupted during this process.

Figure 3 shows a typical MPC supported on the MX480 router. For more information about MPCs, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference.

MPC Components

Each MPC consists of the following components:

  • MPC card carrier, which includes two MIC slots (excludes the fixed configuration MPC).

  • Fabric interfaces.

  • Two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that allow control information, route information, and statistics to be sent between the Routing Engine and the CPU on the MPCs.

  • Two interfaces from the SCBs that enable the MPCs to be powered on and controlled.

  • Physical MPC connectors.

  • Up to four Junos Trio chipsets, which perform control functions tailored to the MPC’s media type.

  • Midplane connectors and power circuitry.

  • Processor subsystem, which includes a 1.5-GHz CPU, system controller, and 1 GB of SDRAM.

  • Online button which takes the MPC online or offline when pressed.

  • OK/Fail LED on the MPC faceplate. For more information about LEDs on the MPC faceplate, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference.

Two LEDs, located on the craft interface above the MPC, display the status of the line cards and are labeled OK and FAIL.

MX480 Modular Port Concentrator (MPC) LEDs

Two LEDs, located on the craft interface above the MPC, display the status of the line cards and are labeled OK and FAIL. For more information about the line card LEDs on the craft interface, see DPC and MPC LEDs on the MX480 Craft Interface.

Each MPC also has LEDs located on the faceplate. For more information about LEDs on the MPC faceplate, see the “LEDs” section for each MPC in the MX Series Interface Module Reference.

MX480 Application Services Modular Line Card Description

The Application Services Modular Line Card (AS MLC) is an X86-based card for MX960, MX480, and MX240 routers to deliver integrated application service solutions. The first application that network operators can take advantage of is the Junos Content Encore system, a high-throughput, solid state storage platform for media rich content delivery. Additionally, the AS MLC can serve as the platform for Juniper Networks JunosV App Engine, powering a host of network applications directly embedded into your MX Series 5G Universal Routing Platforms.

The AS MLC is modular and decouples CPU and storage in individual field-upgradeable units. The AS MLCs are designed to enable application throughput up to 50 Gbps and a storage capacity of 400 gigabytes (GB) of NAND Flash.

Figure 4: Application Services Modular Line Card (AS MLC)Application Services Modular Line Card (AS MLC)

MX480 AS MLC Function

The AS MLC provides modular processing and modular storage. Installed on the AS MLC, the Junos Content Encore system operates as a caching application, in either HTTP reverse proxy mode or HTTP transparent proxy mode, to manage client requests for content and the distribution of the content to clients from origin servers. In the future, the AS MLC will run other Juniper Networks router services and applications, and serve as a virtualized platform for third-party applications. The AS MLC provides Ethernet switching and high-speed fabric interface to MX routers. Graceful Routing Engine switchover is also supported on the AS MLC.

Integrated with application forwarding on MX Series routers, the AS MLC provides increased service flexibility with reduced power and space requirements for the network infrastructure.

AS MLC Components

Each AS MLC consists of the following components:

  • AS MLC Modular Carrier Card (AS MCC), which fits horizontally in front of the MX480 router, includes two slots for the Application Services Modular Storage Card (AS MSC) and Application Services Modular Processing Card (AS MXC)

  • AS MXC with 64 GB RAM for processing

  • AS MSC with 400 GB of NAND Flash capacity for modular storage

    Note:

    The AS MCC, AS MXC, and AS MSC are hot-removable and hot-insertable.

  • Switch fabric interfaces to the chassis

  • XM ASIC chip, which owns and manages the packet data memory built from external DDR3 memory chips, the fabric queuing system, a portion of the WAN queuing system, and the host queuing system

  • LU ASIC chip, which performs all functions relating to header processing including input processing, route lookup, classification, filtering, policing, accounting, encapsulation, and statistics

  • Midplane connectors and power circuitry

  • Processor Mezzanine Board (PMB), which contains the host processor and supporting peripherals.

  • LED on the AS MCC, which displays the status of the AS MLC

MX480 SCB, Power Supply, and Cooling System Requirements for AS MLC

Each MX480 router requires specific SCB, power supply, and cooling system models to run the AS MLC:

  • SCB—Enhanced MX Switch Control Board (SCBE-MX). See MX480 SCBE-MX Description for details

  • Power supply:

    • 2520W AC power supply—Model PWR-MX480-2520-AC

MX480 Application Services Modular Storage Card Description

Application Services Modular Storage Card (AS MSC) is a NAND Flash––based card that is inserted into the upper slot of the Application Services Modular Line Card (AS MLC). The AS MSC (see Figure 5) serves as the second tier caching storage for platforms such as the Junos Content Encore system. This card is equivalent to a PIC or a Modular Interface Card (MIC) and provides a maximum of 3.6 Gbps read and 2 Gbps of write memory.

The AS MSC has the following features:

  • 400 GB NAND Flash memory

  • Up to 48K of write cycle

  • Multilevel cell (MLC) NAND memory support

  • Best-in-class NAND controller for maximum performance and reliability

AS MSCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. One AS MSC can be installed in the top slot of each AS MLC. Each AS MSC has these components:

  • SATA-3 controller—An eight-port, 6 Gbps SAS/SATA controller.

  • NAND Flash controller— NAND Flash and NAND Flash controller are used in an AS MSC.

  • Control plane—Inter-integrated circuit control plane that allows Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) control.

  • LEDs—Two LEDs display the status of the AS MSC and storage.

  • Online/offline button—To power on or power off the AS MSC.
