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 line card is a 36-port line card that provides a line rate throughput of 14.4 Tbps. The line card has 36 QSFP56-DD ports capable of supporting 400-Gbps speed (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.

The line card is designed to operate using the newer Routing Engines, the JNP10004-SF3 switch fabric, the JNP10008-SF3 switch fabric, or the JNP10016-SF3 switch fabric; the JNP10K-PWR-AC2, JNP10K-PWR-AC3, or JNP10K-PWR-DC2 power supply; the JNP10004-FAN2, the JNP10008-FAN2, or the JNP10016-FAN fan tray; and the JNP10004-FTC2, the JNP10008-FTC2, or the JNP10016-FTC2 fan tray controller. These components require Junos OS Evolved.

Overview

The PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card houses Packet Forwarding Engine based on Juniper Networks' custom ASICs to deliver a 400GbE solution for data centers.

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

PTX10004 routers running Junos OS Evolved Release 20.3R1 with Junos Continuity and later support the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card. PTX10008 routers running Junos OS Evolved Release 19.4R1-S1 and later support the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card. PTX10016 routers running Junos OS Evolved Release 21.2R2 and later support the PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card. The PTX10K-LC1201-36CD line card interoperates with the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR line card on a PTX10004, PTX10008, or PTX10016 router (see Table 1).

Network Ports

The QSFP56-DD ports support:

  • 400GbE active optic cables (QSFP56-DD AOCs)

  • 4 x 100GbE transceivers (QSFP56-DD)

  • 2 x 100GbE transceivers (QSFP28-DD)

  • 100GbE transceivers (QSFP28)

  • 100GbE AOCs (QSFP28)

  • 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 you can 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:

  1. Use the pic-mode and speed options on the Junos OS Evolved operational 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 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 when configuring an individual port, the system will default to a value of 1. The same example, without the number-of-subports option, would then result in one downstream 100GbE interface.

Note:

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 4 downstream 100GbE interfaces:

After saving and committing the changes, the resulting interfaces would be:

Network LEDs

Each network port has a single tricolored LED that indicates link activity and status. The red, amber, or green LED has different interpretations depending on whether the port is channelized, not channelized, or whether the beacon is activated (see Table 3). If the beacon feature is activated on the port, the port blinks.

PTX10K-LC1202-36MR Line Card

Overview

The PTX10K-LC1202-36MR is a 36-port line card that provides a line rate throughput of 4.8 Tbps. The line card has thirty-two QSFP28 ports, each capable of supporting a maximum speed of 100 Gbps, and four QSFP56-DD ports, each capable of supporting a maximum speed of 400 Gbps (see Figure 2).

In a pure 100-Gbps port speed configuration, the line card supports a throughput of 3.6 Tbps (each of the 36 ports runs at 100-Gbps speed).

In a mixed-speed configuration of 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps, the line card supports a line rate throughput of 4.8 Tbps (thirty-two 100-Gbps ports and four 400-Gbps ports).

The line card is designed to operate using the newer Routing Engines, the JNP10004-SF3 switch fabric, the JNP10008-SF3 switch fabric, or the JNP10016-SF3 switch fabric; the JNP10K-PWR-AC2 or JNP10K-PWR-DC2 power supply; the JNP10004-FAN2, the JNP10008-FAN2, or JNP10016-FAN fan tray; and the JNP10004-FTC2, the JNP10008-FTC2, or the JNP10016-FTC2 fan tray controller. These components require Junos OS Evolved.

The PTX10K-LC1202-36MR line card houses Packet Forwarding Engines based on Juniper Networks' custom ASICs. The line card has two custom ASICs, each hosting two Packet Forwarding Engines. The line card supports a maximum throughput of 1.2 Tbps per Packet Forwarding Engine.

You can install the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR line card in the PTX10004, PTX10008, and PTX10016 chassis horizontally at the front of the chassis.

Network Ports and Channelization

On the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR line card, the ports 4, 10, 24, and 30 are 400GbE (QSFP56-DD) ports, while 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)

  • 8x25GbE transceivers (QSFP28-DD)

  • 1x100GbE transceivers (QSFP28)

  • 4x25GbE transceivers (QSFP28)

  • 4x10GbE transceivers (QSFP+)

  • 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)

  • 4x25GbE transceivers (QSFP28)

  • 4x10GbE transceivers (QSFP+)

The QSFP28 ports 1, 3, 19, and 21 on the line card support the the 1x100GbE QSFP28 transceivers.

Note:

The ports 1, 3, 19, and 21 must be configured as unused if the preceding ports (0, 2, 18, and 20) are not in 100-Gbps mode. This means, of the 36 ports on the PTX10K-LC1202-36MR line card, only 32 ports are available to be configured as 4x25 Gbps and 4x10 Gbps ports.

See the Port Checker tool to see the supported port speeds.

You can configure port speeds at the interface level using the CLI command set interfaces interface-name number-of-sub-ports number-of-sub-ports .

PTX10004 Cable Management System

You can use the PTX10004 cable management system (see Figure 4) 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 4: PTX10004 Cable Management System PTX10004 Cable Management System

The cable management system comprises a set of handle extensions and a tray that snaps to the extensions (see Figure 5) 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.

Cables are draped across or under the handle extensions and then secured with cable wraps (see Figure 6).
