Benefits Of The Acx5048 And Acx5096 Routers; Acx5048 Router - Juniper ACX5048 Hardware Manual

For more information about which features are supported on an ACX5000 routers, see
Applications Supported by ACX Series Routers" on page
ACX5000 routers use the Junos operating system (OS), which provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching,
routing, and security services. Junos OS is installed on an ACX5000 router's 32-gigabyte (GB) internal solid
state flash drive. The same Junos OS code base that runs on an ACX5000 routers also runs on all Juniper
Networks QFX and EX Series switches, and J Series, M Series, MX Series, ACX Series and T Series routers.
You manage the router using the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI), accessible through the console
and out-of-band management ports on the router.

Benefits of the ACX5048 and ACX5096 Routers

Performance—ACX5000 routers provide wire-speed packet performance, very low latency, and a rich
set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features.
Service virtualization—ACX5000 routers offer service virtualization on a dedicated and customizable
KVM-compliant virtual machine that enables you to execute operational scripts and programs for network
performance monitoring and analysis.

ACX5048 Router

As shown in Figure 1 on page
pluggable (SFP+) top-of-rack router with 48 SFP+ ports and 6 quad SFP+ (QSFP+) ports. Each SFP+ port
can operate as a native 10-Gigabit Ethernet port or as a 1-Gigabit Ethernet port when 1-gigabit optics are
inserted. Each QSFP+ port (48 through 53) can operate as a 40-Gigabit Ethernet port or be channelized
to operate as four independent 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports (a total of 24 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports). The
6 QSFP+ ports can be used as either access ports or uplink ports. The ACX5048 provides full duplex
throughput of 1.44 Tbps. The ACX5048 has a 1 U form factor and is shipped with redundant fans and
redundant power supplies. The router can be ordered with front-to-back airflow (air out or AFO) and with
AC or DC power supplies.
