MIC MRATE

Software release

• Junos OS Release 15.1F5 with Junos Continuity

• Junos OS release 16.1R1 and later

For information about which MPCs support this MIC, see MIC/MPC Compatibility. For information about which MICs are supported on MX Series routers, see MICs Supported by MX Series Routers.

Description

• Twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports that support quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceivers

• Power requirement;

  • When installed into MPC8E: 1.250 A @ 48 V (60 W)

  • When installed into MPC9E, or into MPC8E operating in 1.6 Tbps upgrade mode (licensed feature): 1.771 A @ 48 V (85 W)

• Weight: 3.9 lb (1.77 kg)

• Model number: MIC-MRATE

• Name in the CLI: MRATE-12xQSFPP-XGE-XLGE-CGE

Hardware features

• The ports are numbered 0 through 11.

• Twelve Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports, each of which can be configured as a 40-Gigabit Ethernet port or as four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports by using a breakout cable.

• Eight out of the twelve ports can be configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Port numbers 0 through 3, and 6 through 9 are the eight 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports.

• When used in MX2K-MPC8E:

  • 4 ports out of the total 12 support 100-Gigabit Ethernet speed

  • Maximum aggregate port capacity across ports 0 through 5 should not exceed 240 Gbps

  • Maximum aggregate port capacity across ports 6 through 11 should not exceed 240 Gbps

• When used in MX2K-MPC9E:

  • 8 ports out of the total 12 support 100-Gigabit Ethernet speed

  • Maximum aggregate port capacity across ports 0 through 5 should not exceed 400 Gbps

  • Maximum aggregate port capacity across ports 6 through 11 should not exceed 400 Gbps

Table 1 lists the configurable Gbps Ethernet port speeds for each port.

Software features

• Supports rate selectability at the port level.

• By default, the ports are configured as 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.

• Supports remote port identification.

Cables and connectors

The list of supported transceivers for the MX Series is located at https://pathfinder.juniper.net/hct/category/#catKey=100001&modelType;=All&pf;=MX+Series.

LEDs

• OK/FAIL LED, one bicolor:

  • Steady green—MIC is functioning normally.

  • Red—MIC has failed.

• Link LED, one green per port (4 per QSFP+ cage):

  • Steady green—Link is up.

  • Off—Link is down or disabled.

  Each QSFP+ cage contains four LEDs, logically numbered from 0 through 3. These numbers help you identify the corresponding cable when a breakout cable (4x10 Gigabit) is connected to a port. On an installed MRATE MIC, the orientation of these LEDs is as follows: upper left 0, upper right 1, lower left 2, and lower right 3.
