Routing Engine SRX5K-RE-1800X4 Overview

The enhanced Routing Engine is an Intel-based PC platform that runs Junos OS. Software processes that
run on the Routing Engine maintain the routing tables, manage the routing protocols used on the device,
control the device interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the interface for system
management and user access to the device.The Routing Engine must be installed directly into the
SRX5K-SCBE. A USB port on the Routing Engine accepts a USB memory device that allows you to load
Junos OS. Figure 33 on page 79

Three ports located on the Routing Engine connect to one or more external devices on which system
administrators can issue Junos OS CLI commands to manage the services gateway.
The ports function as follows:
AUX–Connects the Routing Engine to a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device through a serial cable
with an RJ-45 connector.
CONSOLE–Connects the Routing Engine to a system console through a serial cable with an RJ-45
connector.
ETHERNET–Connects the Routing Engine through an Ethernet connection to a management LAN (or
any other device that plugs into an Ethernet connection) for out-of-band management. The port uses
an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support 10/100/1000 Mbps connections. Two small LEDs on the
bottom of the port indicate the connection in use: the LED flashes yellow or green for a 10/100/1000
Mbps connection, and the LED is light green when traffic is passing through the port.
The solid-state drive (SSD) slots located on the Routing Engine provide secondary storage for log files, for
generating core files, and for rebooting the system if the CompactFlash card fails. Currently,
SRX5K-RE-1800X4 only supports one 128-GB SSD.
