Description
The Juniper Networks MX204-HWBASE-AC-FS is a compact, high-performance Universal Routing Platform. It is designed for service provider edge, enterprise WAN, and data center interconnect (DCI) deployments. Moreover, it is built as part of the MX Series. This 1U fixed router delivers exceptional scalability, efficiency, and performance in space-constrained environments.
This model includes base hardware with standard Junos OS, providing a foundation for advanced routing and switching capabilities. Additional feature licenses can be added based on deployment requirements.
The MX204 platform delivers up to 400 Gbps of system throughput. This makes it ideal for high-density aggregation, metro Ethernet, and cloud edge applications. It features 8x 10GbE SFP+ ports and 4x 100GbE QSFP28 ports. Thus, it supports flexible connectivity and scalable bandwidth growth.
Designed for high availability, the MX204-HWBASE-AC-FS includes dual AC power supplies in a 1+1 redundant configuration. It also has hot-swappable fan modules for uninterrupted operation. The system uses front-to-back airflow (AFO), making it suitable for standard data center hot aisle/cold aisle deployments.
Powered by an Intel-based processor with 32 GB RAM and SSD storage, the platform supports advanced features such as MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, Segment Routing, and IP routing protocols. It also includes precise timing interfaces (PTP, BITS, SyncE) for mobile backhaul and 5G applications.
With its compact footprint, high throughput, and flexible licensing model, the MX204-HWBASE-AC-FS is an ideal solution for operators looking to optimize space, power, and cost. Therefore, it delivers carrier-grade performance.
Optional Juniper Care support services (1-Year, 3-Year, or 5-Year) provide 24/7 technical assistance, software updates, and hardware replacement for mission-critical deployments.
