PTX10004 Line Card Components and Descriptions
The line cards in PTX10004 routers combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet interfaces in a single assembly. Line cards are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in the line-card slots on the front of the router chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable—you can remove and replace them without powering off the router or disrupting router functions.
PTX10K-LC1201-36CD Line Card
The PTX10K-LC1201-36CD (model number: JNP10K-LC1201) is a 36-port line card that provides a line rate throughput of 14.4 Tbps. The 36 QSFP56-DD ports support a speed of up to 400 Gbps (see Figure 1). You can channelize the ports to operate at 200-Gbps, 100-Gbps, 50-Gbps, 25-Gbps, or 10-Gbps speed by using breakout cables.
Overview
The line card houses five Juniper Networks' custom ASICs, and each ASIC houses two Packet Forwarding Engines. One packet forwarding engine in the fifth ASIC is not used.
You can install the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card in the PTX10004, PTX10008, and PTX10016 chassis horizontally at the front of the chassis.

Network Ports
The QSFP56-DD ports support:
400GbE transceivers (QSFP56-DD)
400GbE active optic cables (QSFP56-DD AOCs)
4 x 100GbE transceivers (QSFP56-DD)
2 x 100GbE transceivers (QSFP28-DD)
100GbE transceivers (QSFP28)
100GbE AOCs (QSFP28)
40GbE transceivers (QSFP+)
40GbE to 10GbE QSA (Junos OS Release 20.2R1 and later)
Channelization
All 36 ports of the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card default to 400GbE. You can either set all the ports to a specific speed and channelization or channelize each port individually. The CLI syntax to channelize a port on the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD is release dependent.
For software releases from Junos OS Evolved Release 19.4R1-S1 to Junos OS Evolved Release 20.1R2:
Use the pic-mode
and speed
options in the Junos OS Evolved
operational mode set chassis
command:
user@host> set chassis fpc slot slot-number pic 0 pic-mode speed 400g|200g|100g|50g|40g|25g|10g
In this example, fpc slot
represents the line card slots. There is a single
PIC in the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD; it is always numbered zero. The pic-mode
option
indicates that you are configuring all of ports on the PIC and not an individual port. With the
speed
options, you can configure 100-Gbps or 40-Gbps speed on all 36 ports, or
you can configure four 10-Gbps channels on each of the 36 ports.
For example, to set 100-Gbps speed on all ports in slot 2:
user@host> set chassis fpc 2 pic 0 pic-mode speed 100g
To individually configure a port, you need to specify both the speed and number of subports (channels).
user@host> set chassis fpc fpc-number pic 0 port port-number speed 400g|200g|100g|50g|40g|25g|10g number-of-subports subport-number
For example, to channelize port 15 in slot 0 to 4 downstream 100GbE interfaces:
user@host> set chassis fpc 0 pic 0 port 15 speed 100g number-of-subports 4
The resulting interfaces would be:
et-0/0/15:0 et-0/0/15:1 et-0/0/15:2 et-0/0/15:3
If you do not specify the number-of-subports
value when configuring an
individual port, the system defaults to a value of 1. The same example, without the
number-of-subports
option, would then result in one downstream 100GbE
interface.
For software releases Junos OS Evolved Release 20.1R2 and later, the speed
and number-of-subports
options are in the interfaces
hierarchy. For example, to channelize port 15 in slot 0 to four downstream 100GbE
interfaces:
[edit-interfaces] user@host> et-0/0/15 {speed 100g; number-of-subports 4; } et-0/0/15:0 {unit 0} et-0/0/15:1 {unit 0} et-0/0/15:2 {unit 0} et-0/0/15:3 {unit 0}
After you save and commit the changes, each of the following resulting interfaces would be:
et-0/0/15:0 et-0/0/15:1 et-0/0/15:2 et-0/0/15:3
Bandwidth Support
Table 2 lists the bandwidth supported by each PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card.
Number of SIBs Used | Bandwidth per Slot Without Fabric Redundancy |
---|---|
6 | 14.4 Tbps |
5 | 12 Tbps |
4 | 9.6 Tbps |
3 | 7.2 Tbps |
Network LEDs
Each network port has a single tricolored LED that indicates link activity and status. The red, amber, and green colors on the LED have different interpretations depending on whether the port is channelized or not channelized, and whether the beacon is activated. If the beacon feature is activated on the port, the port blinks.
Port Status | Normal State | Description |
---|---|---|
Nonchannelized | Unlit, off | A transceiver is not installed or the link is down because of a loss of signal. |
Green, on steadily | A link is established. | |
Amber, on steadily | The link is down because of a remote error or because the port was disabled through the CLI. | |
Red, on steadily | The link is down because of a hardware failure or a local error. | |
Channelized | Unlit, off | All channels are down because of loss of signal. |
Green, on steadily | A link is established and all channels are up. | |
Amber, on steadily | Applies to all other cases. | |
Red, on steadily | The port has a hardware failure. |

Network Ports and Channelization
On the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR line card, the ports 4, 10, 24, and 30 are 400GbE (QSFP56-DD) ports, whereas the rest are 100GbE (QSFP28) ports.
Figure 3 shows the 400GbE ports highlighted.

By using breakout cables, you can channelize the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR ports.
The QSFP56-DD ports (ports 4, 10, 24, and 30) on the line card support the following transceivers:
1x400GbE transceivers (QSFP56-DD)
4x100GbE transceivers (QSFP56-DD)
2x100GbE transceivers (QSFP28-DD)
8x25GbE transceivers (QSFP28-DD)
1x100GbE transceivers (QSFP28)
4x25GbE transceivers (QSFP28)
4x10GbE transceivers (QSFP+)
40GbE to 10GbE QSA, starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.4R1 and later.
The QSFP28 ports 0, 2, 5 through 9, 11 through 18, 20, 22, 23, 25 through 29, and 31 through 35 on the line card support the following transceivers:
1x100GbE transceivers (QSFP28)
2x50GbE transceivers (QSFP+)
4x25GbE transceivers (QSFP28)
4x10GbE transceivers (QSFP+)
1x10GbE transceivers (QSFP+)
The QSFP28 ports 1, 3, 19, and 21 on the line card support the the 1x100GbE QSFP28 transceivers.
The ports 1, 3, 19, and 21 must be configured as unused if the preceding ports (0, 2, 18, and 20) are not in 100-Gbps mode. This means, of the 36 ports on the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR line card, only 32 ports are available to be configured as 4x25GbE and 4x10GbE ports.
See the Port Checker tool to see the supported port speeds.
You can configure port speeds at the interface level using the set interfaces <interface-name> speed <speed> command.

PTX10004 Cable Management System
You can use the PTX10004 cable management system (see Figure 4) to route optical cables away from the line-card ports for better airflow through the chassis. Using this optional system also makes it easier to use cable ties or strips to organize the cabling.

The cable management system comprises a set of handle extensions and a tray that snaps to the extensions (see Figure 5) for an individual line card. You can use the handle extensions with or without the cable tray. You don’t need to remove the handle extensions if you want to remove a line card.

1 — Handle extensions | 2 — Cable tray |
Cables are draped across or under the handle extensions and then secured with cable wraps (see Figure 6).
