Description

The Juniper MX960 is a carrier-grade modular router chassis designed for large-scale enterprise core, edge, and service provider deployments. This DC-powered base configuration includes the MX960 chassis with midplane and two SCB-E (Switch Control Boards) for redundant control plane operations, delivering the high availability and scalability demanded by mission-critical networks. Supporting the full MX Series line card ecosystem, the MX960 scales to terabit-level forwarding capacity and provides a robust foundation for MPLS, IP/VPN, carrier Ethernet, and advanced routing workloads.

The MX960 BASE-DC bundle integrates seamlessly into existing Juniper networks running Junos OS, enabling unified policy management, advanced traffic engineering, and carrier-class redundancy features including graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) and non-stop routing (NSR). Purpose-built for environments requiring maximum slot density and modular expansion, it supports diverse interface types across all major speeds.

FAQs

Q: What is included in the MX960BASE-DC bundle?
A: The MX960BASE-DC includes the MX960 base chassis with midplane, two SCB-E (Switch Control Board E) modules for redundant fabric and control plane, and DC power infrastructure. Line cards, Routing Engines, power supply units, and fan trays are typically ordered separately.

Q: What is the difference between AC and DC power on the MX960?
A: The MX960BASE-DC is configured for DC power input, which is standard in carrier and data centre environments with -48V DC plant power. AC-powered variants are available for enterprise environments with standard mains power. Ensure your facility provides compatible DC power before ordering.

Q: What line cards are compatible with the MX960 chassis?
A: The MX960 supports a wide range of Juniper MPC (Modular Port Concentrator) and MIC (Modular Interface Card) line cards, supporting speeds from Gigabit Ethernet through 100GbE and beyond. Compatibility depends on the SCB generation and Junos OS version in use.

Q: Does the MX960 support high availability and non-stop routing?
A: Yes. With dual SCB-E modules and supported Routing Engines, the MX960 enables Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES), Non-Stop Routing (NSR), and Non-Stop Bridging (NSB), ensuring sub-second failover with no disruption to forwarding during control plane events.

Q: Can I purchase the MX960BASE-DC in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying Juniper enterprise and service provider routing equipment including the MX960BASE-DC. Contact the team for pricing, lead times, and configuration advice tailored to your deployment.

Q: What deployment scenarios suit the Juniper MX960?
A: The MX960 is ideal for service provider edge and core routing, large enterprise WAN aggregation, data centre interconnect, MPLS/VPN backbone, and carrier Ethernet deployments where high slot density, redundancy, and multi-terabit scalability are required.
