Description
The Juniper MX204‑HW‑BASE is a compact, carrier‑grade universal routing platform designed for high‑performance edge, aggregation, and WAN‑edge deployments. It combines a fixed 1 U form factor with rich hardware features — including redundant power supplies, front‑to‑back cooling, and a suite of built‑in Ethernet interfaces — to deliver resilient, scalable packet forwarding in service provider and enterprise environments. Running Juniper’s Junos® operating system, the MX204 offers a robust set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing functions, automation capabilities, and advanced networking services, suitable for IP/MPLS, EVPN, VPN, and broadband applications. With up to 400 Gbps throughput, flexible 10 GbE SFP+ and 100 GbE QSFP28 ports, and broad support for a wide range of optics and accessories, this versatile platform supports edge routing, metro aggregation, and WAN interconnects. The base SKU includes the hardware platform and a perpetual license for the standard Junos OS; additional software feature bundles (such as advanced or premium routing capabilities) can be added as needed.
