The MX960 router supports the following Routing Engines:
RE-S-1300-2048 supported for Junos OS Release 8.2 and later.
RE-S-2000-4096 supported for Junos OS Release 8.2 and later.
RE-S-1800x2 supported for Junos OS Release 10.4 and later.
RE-S-1800x4 supported for Junos OS Release 10.4 and later.
RE-S-X6-64G supported for Junos OS Release 15.1F4, 16.1 and later.
RE-S-X6-64G-LT
NOTE: The Routing Engine is equipped with limited encryption support
only.
NOTE: If two Routing Engines are installed, they must both be the same
hardware model.
The Routing Engine runs the Junos OS. Software processes that run on the Routing Engine
maintain the routing tables, manage the routing protocols used on the router, control
the router interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the interface for
system management and user access to the router.
You can install one or two Routing Engines in the router. Each Routing Engine must be
installed directly into an SCB. A USB port on the Routing Engine accepts a USB memory
device that allows you to load Junos OS. The Routing Engines install into the front of the
chassis in vertical slots directly into the SCBs labeled
installed, one functions as the master and the other acts as the backup. If the master
Routing Engine fails or is removed and the backup is configured appropriately, the backup
takes over as the master.
On the MX960 router, a Routing Engine installed in SCB slot
supplies no additional routing functions. If no SCB is installed in slot
panel in the slot.
Three ports, located on the right side of the routing engine, connect the Routing Engine
to one or more external devices on which system administrators can issue Junos OS
command-line interface (CLI) commands to manage the router.
The ports with the indicated labels function as follows:
