MX-SPC3 Services Card Overview and Support on MX240, MX480, and MX960 Routers

The MX-SPC3 Services Card is a Services Processing Card (SPC) that provides additional processing power to run Next Gen Services. The MX-SPC3 contains two Services Processing Units (SPUs) with 128 GB of memory per SPU. Line cards such as DPCs, MPCs, and MICs, intelligently distribute all traffic traversing the router to the SPUs to have services processing applied to it.Next Gen Services provide the best of both routing and security features on MX Series routers MX240, MX480, and MX960. All Next Gen Services are provided by the MX-SPC3 Services Card. Next Gen Services provide capabilities for manipulating traffic before it’s delivered to its destination.

Note:

The only services card that supports Next Gen Services is the MX-SPC3.

Table 1 shows the SPC and its first supported Junos OS release on MX240, MX480, and MX960, routers.

Table 1: MX-SPC3 Supported by MX240, MX480, and MX960 Routers

SPC Name	SPC Model Number	First Junos OS Release on MX240, MX480, and MX960 Routers
MX-SPC3 Services Card	JNP-SPC3	19.3R2

The MX-SPC3 services card is compatible end-to-end with the MX Series Switch Fabrics, Routing Engines and MPC line cards for MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers. See Table 2.

Note: Routing Engines use the following naming conventions:

• BB: Routing Engines suffixed with BB refer to the Base Bundle (BB) Routing Engine. You can only order it with a Chassis Bundle suffixed with BB.

• R: Routing Engines suffixed with R refer to a Redundant (R ) Routing Engine. You can only order it with the Chassis Bundle and can’t order it separately.

• S: Routing Engines suffixed with S refer to a standalone Routing Engine that you can order without the Chassis. You can either use it as a spare or when upgrading a non-redundant system to make it redundant.
