• Support for new line cards (ACX7509):

  We introduce the new ACX7509-FPC-4CD, ACX7509-FPC-16C, and ACX7509-FPC-20Y line cards. The line cards come in 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, 100GbE, 200GbE, and 400GbE port configurations and have Precision Time Protocol (PTP), SyncE (Class C), and Media Access Control Security (MACsec) support.

  • The ACX7509-FPC-16C line card has 16 QSFP/QSFP28 ports that support 40-Gbps and 100-Gbps speeds. Default port speed is 100-Gbps. The line card has a throughput of 1.6 Tbps when installed in FPC slots 1 and 5; 800 Gbps of throughput when installed in other FPC slots. The line card supports all 16 ports when it is plugged into FPC slot 1 and 5. But when it is plugged to other FPC slots, only ports 0,1 4,5,8,9 and 12, 13 are active.

    • You can channelize the ports operating at:

      • 100-Gbps speed to 4x25-Gbps speed

      • 40-Gbps speed to 4x10-Gbps speed

You can configure four 25-Gbps speed and four 10-Gbps speed breakout cables at 0,1,4,5, 8,9 and 12,13 ports.

• The ACX7509-FPC-4CD line card has 4 QSFP56/QSFP56-DD ports that support 100-Gbps, 200-Gbps, and 400-Gbps speeds. Default port speed is 400 Gbps. The line card has a throughput of up to 1.6 Tbps when installed in FPC slots 1 and 5 and is supported only in these FPC slots. You can channelize the ports operating at 400-Gbps speed to 4x100-Gbps speed. You can configure four 100-Gbps speed and two 100-Gbps speed breakout cables at 0,1,2,3 ports.

• The ACX7509-FPC-20Y line card has 20 SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 ports that support 1-Gbps, 10-Gbps, 25-Gbps, and 50-Gbps speeds. Default port speed is 25 Gbps. 1-Gbps is supported in all slots except FPC slots 1 and 5. 50-Gbps is supported only in FPC slots 1 and 5. The line card has a throughput of up to 1 Tbps when installed in FPC slots 1 and 5; 500 Gbps of throughput when installed in other slots. Channelization is not supported on this line card.

Multicast

• Ingress and egress multicast replication— Support for ingress and egress multicast replication using the Recycle replication model where the multicast and broadcast packets destined for their local ports are replicated. There are two passes for each multicast packet. In the first pass, each packet is replicated to each egress PFE in the system using recycle port of the egress PFE. In the second pass, packets are replicated to the ports of the egress PFE.

  Use the set ingress-only statement at the system packet-forwarding-options mcast-repl-type hierarchy level for the ingress replication model and the set ingress-egress-recycle statement at the system packet-forwarding-options mcast-repl-type hierarchy level for ingress and egress multicast replication using the Recycle replication model. If you don’t select the replication type, ingress replication (ingress-only) is considered as the default replication type.

  [See Ingress and Egress Multicast Replication using Recycle Replication Model, ingress-egress-recycle, and ingress-only.]

• CoS support for ingress-egress-multicast replication—By default, the recycle interface bandwidth is based on chassis oversubscription and platform-specific FPC or interface configuration. Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 21.4R1, you can configure the bandwidth of the recycle interface to enable:

  • Equal distribution of the recycle interface bandwidth at the PFE level.

  • A percentage of the recycle interface bandwidth for ingress-egress-multicast replication.

  To configure the recycle interface bandwidth, use the following CLI commands:

  • set system packet-forwarding-options internal-forwarding-bandwidth <value in Gbps>
  • set system packet-forwarding-options internal-forwarding-bandwidth <value> reserve ingress-egress-mcast <percentage>
