MX480 / RE-S-2000-4096
Hello

We have the following hardware and we are looking to use this chassis
as an edge router, terminating 2x full table IP transit and some IXP
peering.

MX480
2x RE-S-2000-4096-S
2x SCB-MX960-S
1x MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP
1x DPCE-R-20GE-2XGE

Is anybody here running these routing-engines in a similar role? How
is the CPU on them / convergence times? Hopefully not as bad as an
MX80...

Also - I know the RE's are EOL, but does anybody know if they will run
JUNOS later than 16.2?

Kind regards

You're probably more likely to run into a whole host of issues with he
DPC's.

Hi Dario,

furthermore, 4 GB RAM is not much nowadays. I’d recommend looking for some 1800x4’s or -X6’s.

Best regards,
Theo Voss

Hi,

We do that with RE-S-1300 and DPCE 4x 10GE R sort of cards. No problems for a 4 or more years. And IPv6 full tables too.

That's easy.

Ask it to do QoS bits, policing bits, firewall bits, SCU/DCU bits, and
it'll show you its true colors :-).

The main problem you might run into, is the fact that DPCE has backup
only fabric connection, MPC not. So whole DPCE 40G is sending to
single egress Trio, in MX960 istead of getting 40Gbps, you'll get
26Gbps, unless you turn on redundancy mode, forcing MPC to make one
plane cold backup.

Complex setups require complex understanding and high OPEX.
