Supported Platforms
The following table lists the supported platforms and positioning:
| Name Convention | Supported Platforms | Junos OS Release |
|---|---|---|
| PE | MX304 | 23.4R2 |
| Service Node | SRX4600 | 23.4R2 |
| Service Node | vSRX | 23.4R2 running on VMWare ESXi |
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 MX304: https://apps.juniper.net/hct/product/?prd=MX304

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).
