PTX10004 Line Card Components and Descriptions

The line cards in PTX10004 routers combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet interfaces in a single assembly. Line cards are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in the line-card slots on the front of the router chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable—you can remove and replace them without powering off the router or disrupting router functions.

PTX10K-LC1201-36CD Line Card

The PTX10K-LC1201-36CD (model number: JNP10K-LC1201) is a 36-port line card that provides a line rate throughput of 14.4 Tbps. The 36 QSFP56-DD ports support a speed of up to 400 Gbps (see Figure 1). You can channelize the ports to operate at 200-Gbps, 100-Gbps, 50-Gbps, 25-Gbps, or 10-Gbps speed by using breakout cables.

Overview

The line card houses five Juniper Networks' custom ASICs, and each ASIC houses two Packet Forwarding Engines. One packet forwarding engine in the fifth ASIC is not used.

You can install the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card in the PTX10004, PTX10008, and PTX10016 chassis horizontally at the front of the chassis.

  • 40GbE transceivers (QSFP+)

  • 40GbE to 10GbE QSA (Junos OS Release 20.2R1 and later)

Channelization

All 36 ports of the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card default to 400GbE. You can either set all the ports to a specific speed and channelization or channelize each port individually. The CLI syntax to channelize a port on the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD is release dependent.

For software releases from Junos OS Evolved Release 19.4R1-S1 to Junos OS Evolved Release 20.1R2:

Use the pic-mode and speed options in the Junos OS Evolved operational mode set chassis command:

In this example, fpc slot represents the line card slots. There is a single PIC in the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD; it is always numbered zero. The pic-mode option indicates that you are configuring all of ports on the PIC and not an individual port. With the speed options, you can configure 100-Gbps or 40-Gbps speed on all 36 ports, or you can configure four 10-Gbps channels on each of the 36 ports.

For example, to set 100-Gbps speed on all ports in slot 2:

To individually configure a port, you need to specify both the speed and number of subports (channels).

For example, to channelize port 15 in slot 0 to 4 downstream 100GbE interfaces:

The resulting interfaces would be:

Note:

If you do not specify the number-of-subports value when configuring an individual port, the system defaults to a value of 1. The same example, without the number-of-subports option, would then result in one downstream 100GbE interface.

For software releases Junos OS Evolved Release 20.1R2 and later, the speed and number-of-subports options are in the interfaces hierarchy. For example, to channelize port 15 in slot 0 to four downstream 100GbE interfaces:

After you save and commit the changes, each of the following resulting interfaces would be:

Network Ports and Channelization

On the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR line card, the ports 4, 10, 24, and 30 are 400GbE (QSFP56-DD) ports, whereas the rest are 100GbE (QSFP28) ports.

Figure 3 shows the 400GbE ports highlighted.

Figure 3: PTX10K-LC1202-36MR—Network Ports PTX10K-LC1202-36MR—Network Ports

By using breakout cables, you can channelize the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR ports.

The QSFP56-DD ports (ports 4, 10, 24, and 30) on the line card support the following transceivers:

  • 1x400GbE transceivers (QSFP56-DD)

  • 4x100GbE transceivers (QSFP56-DD)

  • 2x100GbE transceivers (QSFP28-DD)

  • 1x100GbE transceivers (QSFP28)

  • 2x50GbE transceivers (QSFP28)

  • 1x40GbE transceivers (QSFP+)

  • 8x25GbE transceivers (QSFP28-DD)

  • 4x25GbE transceivers (QSFP28)

  • 4x10GbE transceivers (QSFP+)

  • 1x10GbE transceivers (SFP+)

  • 40GbE to 10GbE QSA, starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.4R1 and later.

The QSFP28 ports 0, 2, 5 through 9, 11 through 18, 20, 22, 23, 25 through 29, and 31 through 35 on the line card support the following transceivers:

  • 1x100GbE transceivers (QSFP28)

PTX10004 Cable Management System

You can use the PTX10004 cable management system (see Figure 5) to route optical cables away from the line-card ports for better airflow through the chassis. Using this optional system also makes it easier to use cable ties or strips to organize the cabling.

Figure 5: PTX10004 Cable Management System Technical illustration of a network switch with slots for line cards and management modules.

The cable management system comprises a set of handle extensions and a tray that snaps to the extensions (see Figure 6) for an individual line card. You can use the handle extensions with or without the cable tray. You don’t need to remove the handle extensions if you want to remove a line card.
