Passive Flow Monitoring System Requirements for MX Series Routers

To perform passive flow monitoring, your router must meet these minimum requirements:

  • Junos OS Release 22.4R1 or later for passive flow monitoring support on the MX304 router with the LMIC16-BASE line card, on the MX10004, MX10008, and MX10016 routers with the LC9600 line card and on the MX2010 and MX2020 routers with the MPC10 and MPC11 line cards.

  • Junos OS Release 20.4R1 or later for passive flow monitoring support on the MX10008 router with the JNP10K-2101 line card and on the MX240/MX480/MX960/MX2008/MX2010/MX2020 routers with either the MPC7E-MRATE or MPC7E-10G line card.

  • Type 1 enhanced FPCs

  • Two optical splitters

  • A Tunnel Services PIC (required if you wish to send traffic to more than one analyzer)

  • An input interface from the following list:

    • Gigabit Ethernet PIC—4-port with small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) or 10-port with SFP

    • 1-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet PIC with XENPAK

  • Outgoing PICs to connect to the flow collector or packet analyzer

  • Flow monitoring version 5 collector

  • ES PIC and packet analyzers (optional)
