Routing Engines SRX3K-RE-12-10 and SRX1K-RE-12-10
Routing Engines are PowerPC platforms that run the Junos operating system (Junos OS). Software processes that run on the Routing Engine maintain the routing tables, manage the routing protocols used on the services gateway, control the services gateway interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the interface for system management and user access to the services gateway.
Two USB ports on the Routing Engine accept USB memory cards that allow you to load Junos OS and perform file transfers.
The Routing Engine also provides the following integrated services:
Central Packet Forwarding Engine Processing (CPP)—This service manages all CFM cards.
System Control—This service handles Routing Engine arbitration and switching between multiple control planes when installed and acts as the host for the Switch Fabric Board (SFB) and midplane components.
The services gateway must have one Routing Engine installed
in slot RE0. A Gigabit Ethernet port on the front panel of the Switch
Fabric Board (SFB) is connected directly to the processors on the
REs for management purposes. The SFB port labeled RE ETHERNET
0
connects to the Routing Engine in slot RE0.
