Description
The Juniper MX480 Universal Routing Platform is a modular, carrier‑grade edge routing system designed for high‑performance service provider, cloud, enterprise, and data center networks. Powered by Junos OS and a programmable Juniper silicon architecture, the MX480 delivers up to 9 Tbps of routing capacity and is optimized for high‑speed IP/MPLS, broadband, VPN, and multiservice edge applications. Its modular chassis supports up to six line card slots for flexible deployment of Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs) or Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs), enabling a broad mix of 10, 25, 40, 100, and 400 GbE interfaces to meet evolving network demands. With field‑proven reliability, redundant Routing Engines and power supplies, advanced automation, deep packet inspection, and hardware‑based timing and synchronization features, the MX480 platform delivers resilient, scalable performance for mission‑critical networks.
Key Features:
- Massive Capacity: Up to 9 Tbps system routing capacity to support dense high‑speed interfaces and heavy traffic loads.
- Modular Chassis: Supports up to six DPC/MPC slots for flexible interface and service scale.
- Carrier‑Grade Resiliency: Designed with redundant Routing Engines, power supplies, and switch control boards for high availability.
- Advanced Networking: Built on Junos OS with support for IPv4/IPv6 routing, MPLS, BGP/EVPN, VPN services, and deep packet inspection.
- Inline MACsec Encryption: Hardware‑assisted MACsec support for secure traffic on 10/40/100 GbE links.
