The SRX5800 Services Gateway is a high-performance, highly scalable, carrier-class security device with
multiprocessor architecture. The services gateway is 16 rack units (RU) tall. Three services gateways can
be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space. The services
gateway provides 14 slots that can be populated with up to 12 Services Processing Cards (SPCs) and
interface cards and two Switch Control Boards (SCBs) in nonredundant fabric configurations. The interface
cards can be any of the following types:
I/O cards (IOCs) have fixed ports on their front panels.
Flex I/O cards (Flex IOCs) have two slots on their front panels for smaller cards called port modules that
add additional ports to the services gateway.
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) have two slots on their front panels for smaller cards called Modular
Interface Cards (MICs) that add additional ports to the services gateway.
The SRX5800 Services Gateway provides redundancy and resiliency. The hardware system is fully redundant,
including power supplies and SCBs.
By installing various combinations of interface cards and SPCs, you can tailor both the number of ports
and the maximum services processing capacity to suit your network.
