Ordering Information

Unrelenting traffic growth—driven by higher speeds, more subscribers, mobile penetration, cloud adoption, and ubiquitous video consumption—is straining traditional service provider and enterprise networks.To accommodate this reality, Juniper’s Secure Automated Distributed Cloud solution helps service providers react to changing market conditions and accelerate service delivery with world-class products and innovative architectural components. The MX Series is an integral part of this solution.

Powered by the Junos OS and programmable Trio 5 silicon chipset, MX Series platforms deliver powerful routing, switching, security, and services features that help operators successfully transform their networks—and their businesses—in today’s hyper-connected world.

MX960 MX480 MX240 Modular Series Platforms

The MX960 has been proven in the world’s largest service provider, cable, mobile, and data center networks, offering 12 Tbps of system capacity in support of business and residential broadband services as well as peering and provider edge applications.
The MX480 is a modular, 7.5 Tbps-capable router that supports a wide range of cloud, campus, enterprise, data center, service provider, cable, and mobile service core applications.
The MX240 is a compact, 3 Tbps-capable router ideal for space-constrained cloud, enterprise, data center, service provider, cable, and mobile service core deployments.

The latest generation of line card hardware for the MX960, MX480, and MX240 platforms delivers multi-terabit crypto capabilities with 256-bit encryption complying with AES-GCM encapsulation per RFC4303; AES-GCM encapsulation per RFC4106; AES-GMAC encapsulation per RFC4543; and AES-GMAC (IPv4/v6) encapsulation per RFCs 4302 and 4543. Along with multi-terabit routing, the latest MPC also delivers integrated Layer 2 MACsec features at flexible interface rates of 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE.

MX 204 Fixed-Configuration Series Platforms

The MX204 is a space- and power-optimized router delivering ultra-high port density and throughput while consuming just 0.9 W/Gb. It addresses the emerging edge and metro Ethernet networking needs of service providers, mobile, web-scale operators, and MSOs by delivering 400 Gbps of throughput in support of high-density 100GbE, 40GbE, and discrete and breakout 10GbE and 1GbE interfaces—all in a single rack unit.
