SRX5600 Services Gateway Description

The SRX5600 services gateway is a high-performance, highly-scalable, carrier-class security device with multi-processor architecture.

The SRX5600 services gateway is eight rack units (RU) tall. Three of these devices can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space.

The services gateway provides 8 slots that you can populate with two Switch Control Boards (SCBs) and up to six additional cards of the following types:

  • Services Processing Cards (SPCs) provide the procesing capacity to run integrated services such as firewall, IPsec, and IDP.
  • I/O Cards (IOCs) provide Ethernet interfaces that connect the services gateway to your network.
  • Flex I/O Cards (Flex IOCs) are similar to IOCs, but have slots for port modules that allow you greater flexibility in adding different types of Ethernet ports to your services gateway.
