Supported Platforms
To review the software versions and platforms on which this JVD was validated by Juniper Networks, see the Validated Platforms and Software section in this document.
Tested Optics
The fiber optic transceivers used in the test bed are:
- QSFP-100GBASE-SR4: between MX304 and SRX4600s
- QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M: between MX304 and servers hosting vSRXs
This JVD is validated using fiber optics (details shared above) however, the technical validation is larger regarding hardware compatible optics. For more information, see the following references on Juniper’s Hardware Compatibility Tool.
- For SRX4600: https://apps.juniper.net/hct/product/?prd=SRX4600
- For MX304: https://apps.juniper.net/hct/product/?prd=MX304
- For MX10004: https://apps.juniper.net/hct/product/?prd=MX10004
vSRX Setup and Sizing
This JVD focuses only on the functional aspect of the solution. It does not matter whether powerful servers are tested for hosting the vSRX(s), as well as the size of vSRX used here. For real-time performances, high end servers (such as Dell or HPE servers with Intel Gold or AMK 9K CPUs, 256GB RAM and ConnectX6 or X7 or later interfaces) with large vSRX sizes are proposed (such as 16 vCPU and 32GB RAM). For more information about vSRX requirements, see Juniper documentation:
