The SRX5600 Firewall is a high-performance, highly scalable, carrier-class security device with
multiprocessor architecture. The firewall is eight rack units (RU) tall. Three firewalls can be stacked in a
single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space. The firewall provides six
slots that can be populated with up to four Services Processing Cards (SPCs) and interface cards and two
Switch Control Boards (SCBs) in redundant 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 firewall.
• 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 firewall.
The SRX5600 Firewall 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.
