The Juniper Networks MX204 3D Universal Edge Router is an Ethernet-optimized edge
router with 400-Gbps capacity that provides both switching and carrier-class Ethernet
routing. The MX204 router runs Junos operating system (Junos OS), enabling a wide
range of business and residential applications and services, including high-speed transport
and virtual private network (VPN) services, next-generation broadband multiplay services,
and high-volume Internet data center internetworking. Each router provides full duplex,
high-density Ethernet interfaces and high-capacity switching throughput and uses the
Junos Trio chipset for increased scalability of Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet forwarding,
buffering, and queuing.
The MX204 router is compact and one rack unit (1 U) tall. Several routers can be stacked
in a single floor-to-ceiling rack for increased port density per unit of floor space.
The MX204 router is a fixed-configuration router, and supports one built-in Routing
Engine. The router runs on AC or DC power, with two dedicated power supply modules
on each device. Cooling is handled by three fan modules.
The MX204 has four rate-selectable ports that can be configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet
ports or 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or each port can be configured as four 10-Gigabit
Ethernet ports (by using a breakout cable). The MX204 also has eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports. The four rate-selectable ports support QSFP28 and QSFP+ transceivers, whereas
the eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports support SFP+ transceivers.
