interfacefees or linearcards Juniper Networks (line card, interface module) allow you to expand your router or switch (modular platform, chassis) Required functional, including the necessary access ports at speeds 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbEor 100GbE, control boards (switch control board) etc..
Interface boards Juniper represented by various modules that are compatible with a particular series (for example. interface module MS-MIC-16G compatible with the entire range Juniper MX, and the module MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP series compatible MX240, MX480 andMX960).
interface board MIC (Modular Interface Cards) is a small-sized module that provides physical connection to various types of network devices. MIC the board can support various physical interfaces in one module. module Juniper MICs also support hot swapping and plugging. For example, in routers MX series, interface module MIC installed in the module MPC (Modular Port Concentrator), and in series from MX5 before MX104 module MPC already built in chassis.
interface module Juniper MPC (Modular Port Concentrator) provides transfer services Lkand packages. module MPC encapsulates packets and passes them through the module's outgoing interfaces MIC. everyone MPC module equipped with up to four chipsets Junos Trio, which performs the functions of management. For example, a router Juniper MX960 supports installation of up to 12 modules MPCs, and the platform MX480 before 3 MPCs. For proper operation module Juniper MPC You need to use high-performance cooling modules. Online Juniper http://www.juniper.net there is a calculator for calculating the recommended power and cooling power, for a specific series and used MPC modules.
Interface modules DPC (Dense Port Concentrators) Provides several physical interfaces and pass systems Lkand packages on a single board that fits into a slot in a router or modular chassis. module DPC accepts incoming packets and sends outgoing packets to the network.
module Juniper PIC (Physical Interface Card) installed in FPC (Flexible PIC Concentrators), similar to how they work MIC andMPC modules. PICs modules provide physical interfaces, and FPCs boards provide transfers Lkfor packets on the network. everyone FPCthe module is equipped with a microchip ASIC, which performs the functions of management, and FPC supports installation of 2 modules PIC.

Hardware features
|
- The ports are numbered 0 through 11.
- Twelve Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports, each of which can be configured as a 40-Gigabit Ethernet port or as four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports by using a breakout cable.
- Eight out of the twelve ports can be configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Port numbers 0 through 3, and 6 through 9 are the eight 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
- When used in MX2K-MP8CE:
- 4 ports out of the total 12 support 100-Gigabit Ethernet speed
- Maximum aggregate port capacity across ports 0 through 5 should not exceed 240 Gbps
- Maximum aggregate port capacity across ports 6 through 11 should not exceed 240 Gbps
- When used in MX2K-MPC9E:
- 8 ports out of the total 12 support 100-Gigabit Ethernet speed
- Maximum aggregate port capacity across ports 0 through 5 should not exceed 400 Gbps
- Maximum aggregate port capacity across ports 6 through 11 should not exceed 400 Gbps

Tip: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device.
The list of supported transceivers for the MX Series is located at https://pathfinder.juniper.net/hct/category/#catKey=100001&modelType;=All&pf;=MX+Series.

LEDs
|
- OK/FAIL LED, one bicolor:
- Steady green—MIC is functioning normally.
- Yellow—MIC has failed.
- Link LED, one green per port (4 per QSFP+ cage):
- Steady green—Link is up.
- Off—Link is down or disabled.
Each QSFP+ cage contains four LEDs, logically numbered from 0 through 3. These numbers help you identify the corresponding cable when a breakout cable (4x10 Gigabit) is connected to a port. On an installed MRATE MIC, the orientation of these LEDs is as follows: upper left 0, upper right 1, lower left 2, and lower right 3.
