Software release
  • 4-port: JUNOS 4.1 and later
  • 8-port: JUNOS 5.2 and later
  • 12-port: JUNOS 5.1 and later
Description
  • 4 or 12 100Base-TX ports; 8 100Base-FX ports
  • Power requirement:
    • 4-port: 0.14 A @ 48 V (6.8 W)
    • 8-port: 0.26 A @ 48 V (12.5 W)
    • 12-port: 0.23 A @ 48 V (11 W)
Hardware features
  • High-performance throughput on each port at speeds up to 100 Mbps
  • Source and destination Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering
  • RMON EtherStats packet buffering
  • 802.3 Ethernet standard compliant
  • 4-port PICs support MTUs of up to 9192 bytes; 8-port and 12-port PICs support MTUs of up to 1532 bytes
  • 4-port PICs support 1024 802.1Q VLANs per port; 8-port and 12-port PICs support 16 802.1Q VLANs per port
Software features
  • Auto sensing full-duplex and half-duplex modes
  • Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
  • 802.1Q virtual LANs (VLANs)
  • Circuit cross-connect (CCC) VLAN
Cables and connectors 4-port PIC:
  • Connector: Two-pair, category 5 unshielded twisted-pair connectivity through an RJ-45 connector
  • Pinout: MDI noncrossover

8-port PIC:
  • Connector: MT-RJ female
  • FX optical interface—see Table 6

12-port PIC:
  • Connector: One very High Density Connector Interface (VHDCI) to RJ-21 cable that connects to an RJ-45 patch panel
LEDs Status LEDs, one bicolor:
  • Off—PIC ports not enabled
  • Green—PIC is operating normally
  • Red—PIC has an error or failure

4-port PIC—One pair of port LEDs:
  • Link LED—If green, the port is online; if there is no light, the port is down
  • RX LED—If flashing green, the port is receiving data; if there is no light, the port might be on, but is not receiving data

8-port PIC—one pair of LEDs per port:
  • Link LED—If green, the port is online; if there is no light, the port is down

    Note: The Link LED remains lit on the 8-port PIC when the port is down.

  • RX LED—If flashing green, the port is receiving data; if there is no light, the port might be on, but is not receiving data

12-port PIC—one LED per port:
  • Green—100-Mbps link established
  • Flashing green—100-Mbps activity
  • Yellow—10-Mbps link established
  • Flashing yellow—10-Mbps activity
  • Off—No link present

    Note: The port LEDs remains lit on the 12-port PIC when the ports are down.
