PTX10001–36MR System Overview

date_range 26-April-26

Juniper Networks PTX10001–36MR is a fixed-configuration router that features 36 network ports that provide high density and cost efficient 100-Gigabit and 400-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports in a low-profile 1-U form factor. With 9.6 Tbps of throughput, the PTX10001–36MR is optimally designed for peering, core routing, and infrastructure edge routing roles in cloud provider, service provider and content provider networks.

Note:

Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 24.2R1, we introduce a new SKU, the PTX10001–36MR-K.

The PTX10001–36MR-K is an upgraded version of the PTX10001–36MR.

The PTX10001–36MR-K is enabled with Digital Cryptographic Identity (DevID), which is embedded in the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chipset. DevID enables key security features which includes Secure Zero Touch Provisioning (SZTP), file system encryption, and increased security for management and control plane traffic. All other hardware and software capabilities on the PTX10001–36MR and the PTX10001–36MR-K are the same.

The PTX10001–36MR-K SKU can be distinguished by the label PTX10001–36MR-K on the device.

When you use the CLI command show chassis hardware or show version, it displays the chassis or model name as JNP10001–36MR-K [PTX10001–36MR-K]

Benefits of the PTX10001–36MR

• Scalability — The PTX10001–36MR scales to 9.6 Tbps in a single chassis, supporting up to 120 10GbE interfaces, 30 40GbE, 96 100GbE interfaces (at line-rate), or 108 100GbE interfaces (oversubscribed), and 24 400GbE interfaces, giving cloud and service providers the performance and scalability needed as networks grow.
• Performance — The PTX10001–36MR uses 4th generation of the Express silicon family, to deliver inline MACsec on all 100-Gigabit and 400-Gigabit speed interfaces for dense 400-Gigabit architectures. The PTX10001–36MR’s exceptional packet processing capabilities help alleviate the challenge of scaling the network as traffic levels increase.
• High availability hardware — The PTX10001–36MR is engineered with hardware redundancy for cooling, power supplies, and forwarding. With the PTX10001–36MR’s high availability, service providers can maintain an always-on infrastructure base that helps meet stringent SLAs across the core.
• Space efficiency — The PTX10001–36MR’s ultra-compact 1-U form factor efficiency is a critical requirement for space and power constrained internet exchange locations, remote central offices, and embedded peering points throughout the network. The PTX10001–36MR delivers a power efficiency of 0.2 watts/Gbps.

PTX10001–36MR System Architecture

The PTX10001–36MR is a fixed-configuration router that supports 10-Gbps, 25-Gbps, 40-Gbps, 100-Gbps, and 400-Gbps port speeds in a single 1-U stackable platform.

• Control operations are performed by the Routing Engine, which runs the Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved operating system (Junos OS Evolved). The Routing Engine handles routing protocols, traffic engineering, policy, policing, monitoring, and configuration management. Junos OS Evolved is installed on the PTX10001–36MR router’s two internal 200-gigabyte M.2 SATA solid-state drives (SSDs). The Routing Engine is enhanced by a 2.1-GHz 12 core Intel CPU and 64 GB of RAM.
• Forwarding operations are performed by the 4th generation of the Express silicon. The custom ASICs enable the PTX10001–36MR to provide up to 9.6 Tbps of bandwidth.

PTX10001–36MR System Software

The PTX10001–36MR runs Junos OS Evolved, which provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services. Junos OS Evolved runs natively on Linux, giving it direct access to all the Linux utilities and operations. It is designed to be modular, allowing for upgrades to be done on a component-by-component basis without a system reboot. Only those components changed are restarted. Junos OS Evolved is easily portable and minimal work is required to make it work on any platform. It has the same CLI user interface, the same code base for applications and features, and the same management and automation tools as Junos OS. However, the Junos OS Evolved infrastructure is entirely modernized, giving you the high availability, portability, faster innovation, and simplified upgrades you need.

You can manage and monitor PTX10001–36MR router by using the CLI. In addition to the CLI, you can manage and monitor the PTX10001–36MR router by using Juniper Routing Director (formerly Juniper Paragon Automation) or Juniper Paragon Automation.
