Modular MX Series Platforms
MX960, MX480, and MX240 Universal Routing Platforms are modular, chassis-based platforms.
The MX960 has been proven in the world’s largest service provider, cable, mobile, and data center networks, offering 12 Tbps of system capacity in support of business and residential broadband services as well as peering and provider edge applications.
The MX480 is a modular, 7.5 Tbps-capable router that supports a wide range of cloud, campus, enterprise, data center, service provider, cable, and mobile service core applications.
The MX240 is a compact, 3 Tbps-capable router ideal for space-constrained cloud, enterprise, data center, service provider, cable, and mobile service core deployments.
The latest generation of line card hardware for the MX960, MX480, and MX240 platforms delivers multi-terabit crypto capabilities with 256-bit encryption complying with AES-GCM encapsulation per RFC4303; AES-GCM encapsulation per RFC4106; AES-GMAC encapsulation per RFC4543; and AES-GMAC (IPv4/v6) encapsulation per RFCs 4302 and 4543. Along with multi-terabit routing, the latest MPC also delivers integrated Layer 2 MACsec features at flexible interface rates of 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE.
Features + Benefits
High Scale and Density
Scales through 3 Tbps with support for 6 400GbE interfaces and 30 100GbE interfaces, to provide long-term investment protection.
SDN-Enabled
Integrates seamlessly with standards-based SDN controllers such as Paragon Automation platform, making the MX240 an ideal anchor point for service chains that include physical and virtual elements.
