NOTE: Support for dual Routing Engines (master and backup) is currently
not available, but is planned for a future release.
As shown in Figure 6 on page 11, each of the 12 Routing Engines can be configured as a
standalone route reflector. The 12 Routing Engines on the JCS1200 platform are connected
to the JCS switch modules in a dual-star configuration. Each Routing Engine has access
to two interfaces ( and

protocol peerings.
Each JCS switch module has 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect to the outside world
for a total of 12 ports. One port on each JCS switch module is used as a management
port, three of the remaining ports on each JCS switch module can be used to connect to
the network. (The remaining two ports are reserved.) Each Gigabit Ethernet port represents
a separate LAN.
Multiple route reflectors can be configured to share the same port and hence be part of
the same LAN. Port sharing enables JCS1200 route reflectors to conserve Gigabit Ethernet
ports and reduce the cost of adding additional line cards for connectivity to the network.
The result is a cost-effective solution for networks where multiple route reflectors are
deployed.
