MPC3E-3D-NG

Software release	Junos OS releases 14.1R4, 14.2R3 and Junos Continuity, Junos OS release 15.1 and later. Refer to MIC/MPC Compatibility for information about which MICs are supported on this MPC. Refer to the JTAC Knowledgebase article https://kb.juniper.net/KB21476 for recommended software releases.
Description	130 Gbps capacity without hierarchical quality of service (HQoS) Requires high-capacity fan trays and high-capacity filter trays Weight: 15.96 lb (7.26 kg) Model number: MPC3E-3D-NG Name in the CLI: `MPC3E NG PQ & Flex Q` Add-on license provides limited additional flexible queuing.
Hardware features	Line-rate throughput of up to 130 Gbps Supports WAN-PHY mode at 9.95 Gbps and LAN-PHY mode at 10.31 Gbps Early Junos releases support a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of 9,192 bytes for host-bound packets. In later releases, the supported MTU size is 9,500 bytes. Two slots for MICs Junos Trio chipsets for increased scaling for bandwidth, subscribers, and services Note: The non-HQOS MPC3E NG and MPC2E NG MPCs support MIC-3D-8CHOC3-4CHOC12 and MIC-3D-4CHOC3-2CHOC12 only with a limited queuing license.
Software features	Chained composite next hops Layer 3 VPN localization Detection of Layer 2 loops Entropy label support in mixed mode SNMP and CLI support for Routing Engine memory monitoring Mixed Mode LAG support on core interfaces Dynamic power management for MICs Support for flexible-queuing See Protocols and Applications Supported by the MPC3E on MX Series Routers for information about the protocols and applications that this MPC supports.
Power requirement	Maximum with highest-power MICs at 55° C: 11.13 A @ 48 V (534 W) At different temperatures: 55° C: 534 W 40° C: 485 W 25° C: 461 W
LEDs	OK/FAIL LED, one bicolor: Steady green—MPC is functioning normally. Blinking green—MPC is transitioning online or offline. Red—MPC has failed.

Platform Specific Behavior

Use the below table to review platform-specific behavior for your platforms.

Table 1: Platform-Specific Behavior
Platform	Behavior
MX240, MX480, and MX960	The MPC3E-3D-NG requires high-capacity power supplies, high-capacity fan trays, and enhanced switch control boards (SCBE, SCBE2, or SCBE3) on MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers.
MX960	On the MX960 router, all the MPC slots work in a chassis temperature of up to 40°C (104°F), at an altitude of up to 6000 feet. However, when the chassis temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), the slot 11 does not work with MPC3E-3D-NG, MPC3E-3D-NG-Q, MPC4E, and MPC5E. the slot 0 does not work with MPC4E and MPC5E.
