MX2008 Router Overview
The MX2008 Universal Routing Platform is an Ethernet-optimized router that provides both switching
and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The MX2008 router supports service provider core, converged core
and edge, and edge applications, and enables a wide range of business and residential and services, including
high-speed transport and VPN services, next-generation broadband multiplay services, and high-volume
Internet data center internetworking.
Benefits of the MX2008 Router
System Capacity—MX2008 delivers 40 Tbps of throughput in support of dense multirate interfaces for
100-Gigabit Ethernet, 200-Gigabit Ethernet, or 400-Gigabit Ethernet in a single chassis.
Always-on infrastructure base—MX Series routers ensure network and service availability with a broad
set of multilayered physical, logical, and protocol-level resiliency aspects. Junos OS Virtual Chassis
technology on MX Series routers supports chassis-level redundancy and enables you to manage two
routers as a single element. Multichassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) implementation supports
stateful chassis, card, and port redundancy.
Junos Continuity and Unified In-Service Software Upgrade (Unified ISSU)—With the Junos continuity
plug-in package, you can perform a smooth upgrade when new hardware is installed in your MX Series
router.
Unified in-service software upgrade (unified ISSU) enables software upgrades and changes without
disrupting network traffic.
Junos Telemetry Interface—Using the Junos telemetry interface data, you can stream component-level
data to monitor, analyze, and enhance the performance of the network. Analytics derived from this
streaming telemetry can identify current and trending congestion, resource utilization, traffic volume,
and buffer occupancy.
Power Optimization and Design Efficiency—Dynamically managed power consumption provide significant
operational savings. Fan speed is dynamically monitored to consume only 20 percent of their maximum
power. Power optimization enables to achieve power-to-throughput efficiency ratio of 0.3W/G.
System Overview
The MX2008 chassis provides redundancy and resiliency. All major hardware components including the
power system, the cooling system, the Routing and Control Boards (RCBs), and the Switch Fabric Boards
(SFBs) are fully redundant.
