SRX5800 Host Subsystem

The host subsystem is composed of a Routing Engine installed in a Switch Control Board (SCB). The host subsystem provides the routing and system management functions of the firewall. You must install one host subsystem on the device. The host subsystem components are as follows:

• Switch Control Board

  • SRX5K-SCB–from Junos OS Release 9.2 to 12.3X48

  • SRX5K-SCBE–from Junos OS Release 12.1X47-D15 and later

  • SRX5K-SCB3–from Junos OS Release 15.1X49-D10 and later

  • SRX5K-SCB4–from Junos OS Release 19.3R1 and later

    Note:

    SRX5K-SCB4 is not supported on SRX5400 Firewalls.

• Routing Engine

  • SRX5K-RE-13-20–from Junos OS Release 9.2 to 12.3X48

  • SRX5K-RE-1800X4–from Junos OS Release 12.1X47-D15 and later

  • SRX5K-RE3-128G–from Junos OS Release 19.3R1 and later

The host subsystem has three LEDs that display its status. The host subsystem LEDs are located in the middle of the craft interface.

The Switch Control Board (SCB) provides the following functions:

• Powers on and powers off IOCs and SPCs

• Controls clocking, system resets, and booting

• Monitors and controls system functions, including fan speed, board power status, PDM status and control, and the system front panel

• Provides interconnections to all the IOCs within the chassis through the switch fabrics integrated into the SCB

When the SCB is part of a host subsystem, the Routing Engine installs directly into a slot on the SCB (see Figure 1).

Figure 1: SRX5K-SCB

The SRX5800 Firewall has two SCBs installed and you can install a third SCB for switch fabric redundancy.

SCBs install vertically into the front of the chassis. The SCB slots are located at the middle of the card cage and are labeled 0, 1, and 2/6. If any slots are empty, you must install a blank panel.

SCBs installed in slots 0 and 1 provide nonredundant fabric connections. A SCB installed in slot 2/6, in conjunction with SCBs in slots 0 and 1, provides redundant fabrics. If no SCB is installed in slot 2/6, you must install a blank panel in the slot (see Table 1).

For detailed information about SCBs supported by the SR5800 Firewall, see the SRX5400, SRX5600, and SRX5800 Firewall Card Guide at www.juniper.net/documentation/.

The SRX5K-SCB Switch Control Board (SCB) (Figure 2) performs the following functions:

• Powers on and powers off I/O cards (IOCs) and Services Processing Cards (SPCs)

• Controls clocking, system resets, and booting

• Monitors and controls system functions, including fan speed, board power status, PDM status and control, and the system front panel

• Provides interconnections to all the IOCs within the chassis through the switch fabrics integrated into the SCB

SRX5400 and SRX5600 Firewalls have one SCB each installed and you can install a second SCB for redundancy. The SRX5800 Firewall has two SCBs installed and you can install a third SCB for switch fabric redundancy.

The host subsystem is composed of a Routing Engine installed directly into a slot on the faceplate of the SCB. When there is no Routing Engine is a SCB, its slot must be covered with a blank panel.

Each SCB consists of the following components:

• Chassis management Ethernet switch.

• I2C bus logic, used for low-level communication with each component.

• Component redundancy circuitry.

• Gigabit Ethernet switch that is connected to the embedded CPU complex on all components.

• Switch fabric—Provides the switching functions for the IOCs.

• Control FPGA—Provides the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface to the Routing Engine.

• 1000Base-T Ethernet controller—Provides a 1-Gbps Ethernet link between the Routing Engines.

• Ethernet switch—Provides 1-Gbps link speeds between the Routing Engine and the IOCs.

• Circuits for chassis management and control.

• Power circuits for the Routing Engine and SCB.

Some key attributes of the SCB4 are:

• With the SRX5K-SCB4 Switch Control Board, Increased Fabric Bandwidth mode is the default mode on the SRX5600 and SRX5800 Firewalls and the firewalls will use six active planes without any spare planes.

• With the Redundant Fabric mode, the SRX5600 and SRX5800 Firewalls will use four active planes and will have two spare planes.

• SRX5K-SCB4, with fabric link speed of 19 Gbps enables:

  • 480 Gbps throughput per slot with enhanced midplane and fabric redundancy

  • 720 Gbps throughput per slot with enhanced midplane and without fabric redundancy

• Two 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports (These ports are disabled and reserved for future use).

Increased Fabric Bandwidth mode is the default fabric mode of SCB4. In this mode you must install two SCB4s in SRX5600 and three SCB4s in SRX5800 Firewalls/Chassis clusters.

You can change the fabric mode of SCB4 from Increased Fabric Bandwidth mode to Redundant Fabric mode using the CLI. If you change the fabric mode of SCB4 to Redundant Fabric mode you must install two SCB4s in SRX5600 and you can install either two or three SCB4s in SRX5800 Firewalls.

If you are upgrading from SCB3 (Redundant Fabric mode is the default fabric mode in SCB2 and SCB3) to SCB4 and installing only two SCB4s, you must have Junos OS 19.3R1 or later and change the default fabric mode of SCB4s to Redundant Fabric mode by using the CLI.

You can change the fabric mode by following one of these two methods:

1. Use the CLI command request chassis fabric mode <increased-bandwidth|redundant-fabric>

2. Save the change in the Configuration file

The Routing Engine is an Intel-based PC platform that runs Junos OS. Software processes that run on the Routing Engine maintain the routing tables, manage the routing protocols used on the device, control the device interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the interface for system management and user access to the device.

You must install at least one Routing Engine in the firewall. You can install a second Routing Engine if both Routing Engines are running Junos OS Release 10.0 or later.

A second Routing Engine is required if you are using the dual chassis cluster control link feature available in Junos OS Release 10.0 and later. The second Routing Engine does not perform all the functions of a Routing Engine and does not improve resiliency or redundancy. The second Routing Engine and the Switch Control Board (SCB) in which it is installed do not constitute a host subsystem. The only function of the second Routing Engine is to enable the hardware infrastructure that enables the Chassis Cluster Control 1 port on the Services Processing Card (SPC) used for chassis cluster control links.

If you install only one Routing Engine in the firewall, you must install it in the slot in the front panel of SCB0. If you install a second Routing Engine to use the dual chassis cluster control link feature, you install it in the slot in the front panel of SCB1 (see Figure 10).

A USB port on the Routing Engine accepts a USB memory card that allows you to load Junos OS.

Figure 10: SRX5K-RE-13-20 Routing Engine

For detailed information about the Routing Engines supported by the firewall, see the SRX5400, SRX5600, and SRX5800 Firewall Card Reference at www.juniper.net/documentation/.

The SRX5K-RE-13-20 Routing Engine (Figure 11) is an Intel-based PC platform that runs the Junos operating system (Junos OS). Software processes that run on the Routing Engine maintain the routing tables, manage the routing protocols used on the device, control the device interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the interface for system management and user access to the device.

Figure 11: Routing Engine

You must install at least one Routing Engine in the firewall. You can install a second Routing Engine if both Routing Engines are running Junos OS Release 10.0 or later. A second Routing Engine is required if you are using the dual chassis cluster control link feature available in Junos OS Release 10.0 and later. The second Routing Engine does not perform all the functions of a Routing Engine and does not improve resiliency or redundancy. The second Routing Engine and the Switch Control Board (SCB) in which it is installed do not constitute a host subsystem. The only function of the second Routing Engine is to enable the hardware infrastructure that enables the chassis cluster control 1 port on the Services Processing Card (SPC) used for chassis cluster control links. If you install only one Routing Engine in the firewall, you must install it in the slot in the front panel of SCB0. If you install a second Routing Engine to use the dual chassis cluster control link feature, you install it in the slot in the front panel of SCB1.

The Routing Engine consists of the following components:

• CPU—Runs Junos OS to maintain the firewall's routing tables and routing protocols. It has a Pentium-class processor.

• DRAM—Provides storage for the routing and forwarding tables and for other Routing Engine processes.

• USB port—Provides a removable media interface through which you can install Junos OS manually. Junos supports USB version 1.0.

• Internal flash disk—Provides primary storage for software images, configuration files, and microcode. The disk is a fixed compact flash and is inaccessible from outside the firewall.

• Hard disk—Provides secondary storage for log files, memory dumps, and rebooting the system if the internal compact flash disk fails.

• HDD LED—Indicates disk activity for the hard disk drive.

• Management ports—Each Routing Engine has one 10/100-Mbps Ethernet port for connecting to a management network, and two asynchronous serial ports—one for connecting to a console and one for connecting to a modem or other auxiliary device. The interface ports are labeled AUX, CONSOLE, and ETHERNET.

• EEPROM—Stores the serial number of the Routing Engine.

• Extractor clips—Used for inserting and extracting the Routing Engine.

• Captive screws—Secures the Routing Engine in place.

The Routing Engine boots from the storage media in this order: the USB device (if present), then the internal flash disk, then the hard disk, then the LAN.

Software processes that run on the Routing Engine maintain the routing tables, manage the routing protocols used on the device, control the device interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the interface for system management and user access to the device.The Routing Engine must be installed directly into the SRX5K-SCBE. A USB port on the Routing Engine accepts a USB memory device that allows you to load Junos OS. Figure 13 shows the Routing Engine.

Figure 13: SRX5K-RE-1800X4 Routing Engine

Three ports located on the Routing Engine connect to one or more external devices on which system administrators can issue Junos OS CLI commands to manage the firewall.

The ports function as follows:

• AUX–Connects the Routing Engine to a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device through a serial cable with an RJ-45 connector.

• CONSOLE–Connects the Routing Engine to a system console through a serial cable with an RJ-45 connector.

• ETHERNET–Connects the Routing Engine through an Ethernet connection to a management LAN (or any other device that plugs into an Ethernet connection) for out-of-band management. The port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support 10/100/1000 Mbps connections. Two small LEDs on the bottom of the port indicate the connection in use: the LED flashes yellow or green for a 10/100/1000 Mbps connection, and the LED is light green when traffic is passing through the port.

The solid-state drive (SSD) slots located on the Routing Engine provide secondary storage for log files, for generating core files, and for rebooting the system if the CompactFlash card fails. Currently, SRX5K-RE-1800X4 only supports one 128-GB SSD.
