The SRX5400 Services Gateway is a high-performance, highly scalable, carrier-class security device with
multi-processor architecture.
The SRX5400 Services Gateway is 5 rack units (U) tall. Five of these devices can be stacked in a single
floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space.
The services gateway provides four slots that you can populate with one Switch Control Board (SCB) and
up to three additional cards of the following types:
Services Processing Cards (SPCs) provide the processing capacity to run integrated services such as
firewall, IPsec, and IDP.
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) and the Modular Interface Cards (MICs) that install in them provide
Ethernet interfaces that connect the services gateway to your data network.
NOTE: The SRX5400 Services Gateway supports the SRX5K-SPC-4-15-320 SPC only. It does
not support the SRX5K-SPC-2-10-40 SPC.
By installing different combinations of MPCs and SPCs, you can tailor both the number of ports and the
maximum services processing capacity to suit your network.
