Figure 0: 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet

Software release
  • 1-port: JUNOS 4.0 and later
  • 2-port: JUNOS 4.1 and later
  • 4-port: JUNOS 5.0 and later
Description
  • One, two, or four Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • Power requirements:
    • 1-port: 0.27 A/48 V @ 13.2 W
    • 2-port: 0.35 A/48 V @ 17 W
    • 4-port: 0.40 A/48 V @ 19.2 W
  • Supports large Ethernet frame sizes for more efficient throughput across the intra-POP network
  • Optical interface support—see Table 4
Hardware features
  • High-performance throughput on all ports at speeds up to 1 Gbps
  • Autonegotiation between Gigabit Ethernet circuit partners
  • Full-duplex mode
  • Maximum transmission units (MTUs) of up to 9192 bytes
Note: If you use a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet PIC on a Juniper Networks M160 router, the MTU will decrease to 4500 bytes.
Software features
  • Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support
  • 802.1Q virtual LANs (VLANs) support
  • 64 source MAC address filters per port
  • 960 destination MAC filters per port
Cables and connectors
  • Duplex SC/PC connector (TX and RX)
LEDs Status LEDs, one bicolor:
  • Off—PIC not enabled
  • Green—PIC is operating normally
  • Red—PIC has an error or failure

Port LEDs, one pair per port:
  • Link—If green, the port is online; if there is no light, the port is down
  • Activity—If flashing green, the port is receiving data; if there is no light, the port might be on, but is not receiving data
