Description
The Juniper MX304-LMIC16-BASE is a base software license that enables 16 active ports on the Juniper MX304 router using the LMIC (Line Module Interface Card) architecture. It is designed for service providers, cloud operators, and large enterprises. This license activates port capacity on the MX304 platform. As a result, organizations can scale high-performance routing services efficiently.
The MX304 platform itself is a compact yet powerful universal routing solution supporting high-density 100 GbE and 400 GbE interfaces. It is powered by Juniper’s Trio chipset and runs Junos OS. With the LMIC16 base license, users can enable an initial set of 16 ports. Additionally, it offers the flexibility to scale further through license upgrades as network demands grow.
This licensing model provides a pay-as-you-grow approach, helping reduce upfront costs while enabling seamless expansion of routing capacity. In addition, advanced routing features such as MPLS, Segment Routing, EVPN, and automation capabilities are included. Therefore, the MX304 with LMIC licensing is ideal for edge routing, metro aggregation, and peering deployments.
Key Features:
• Base license enabling 16 active LMIC ports on the MX304 platform
• Supports high-speed interfaces (100 GbE / 400 GbE) depending on hardware configuration
• Scalable licensing model – upgrade port capacity as needed
• Fully integrated with Junos OS advanced routing features (MPLS, EVPN, SR)
• Ideal for service provider edge, metro, and cloud routing deployments
