Description

The Juniper MX304 Universal Routing Platform is a high‑performance, carrier‑grade edge router engineered for demanding service provider, cloud, and enterprise networking environments. Built on Juniper’s Junos OS and powered by the Trio 6 silicon, the MX304 delivers up to 4.8 Tbps of system throughput in a compact 2 RU chassis, making it well‑suited for business edge, metro Ethernet, data center edge, and WAN aggregation deployments. The platform supports a broad selection of interfaces — including 10 GbE, 25 GbE, 40/50/100 GbE, and 400 GbE — via modular line card interface cards (LMICs), giving operators flexible port density and highest‑capacity scaling in limited rack space. With redundant Routing Engines, dual power supplies, and front‑to‑back cooling, the MX304 delivers resilient operation with full hardware redundancy options. Advanced features like inline MACsec encryption, automation, and robust routing capabilities (MPLS, BGP, EVPN, VPN, and more) enable maximum performance, security, and operational efficiency at the network edge.

Key Features:

  • Massive Throughput: Up to 4.8 Tbps system capacity in a 2 RU chassis for scalable edge routing performance.
  • Flexible Port Support: Handles up to 96 x 10/25 GbE, 48 x 40/50/100 GbE or 12 x 400 GbE interfaces via LMICs.
  • Carrier‑Class Reliability: Redundant Routing Engines, dual power supplies, and front‑to‑back cooling for high availability.
  • Advanced Routing & Services: Supports MPLS, EVPN‑VXLAN, VPNs, BGP, and rich Junos OS networking features.
  • Inline MACsec: Built‑in MACsec encryption at line rate for secure data plane traffic.
