Using the Examples in This Manual

If you want to use the examples in this manual, you can use the load merge or the load merge relative command. These commands cause the software to merge the incoming configuration into the current candidate configuration. The example does not become active until you commit the candidate configuration.
If the example configuration contains the top level of the hierarchy (or multiple hierarchies), the example is a full example. In this case, use the load merge command.
If the example configuration does not start at the top level of the hierarchy, the example is a snippet. In this case, use the load merge relative command. These procedures are described in the following sections.

Merging a Full Example

To merge a full example, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration example into a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following configuration to a file and name the file ex-script.conf. Copy the ex-script.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
system {
scripts {
commit {
file ex-script.xsl;
}
} } interfaces {
fxp0 {
disable; unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
} }
x
2. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge configuration mode command:
[edit] user@host# load merge /var/tmp/ex-script.conf load complete

Merging a Snippet

To merge a snippet, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration snippet into a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following snippet to a file and name the file ex-script-snippet.conf. Copy the ex-script-snippet.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
commit {
file ex-script-snippet.xsl; }
2. Move to the hierarchy level that is relevant for this snippet by issuing the following configuration mode command:
[edit] user@host# edit system scripts [edit system scripts]
xi
3. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge relative configuration mode command:
[edit system scripts] user@host# load merge relative /var/tmp/ex-script-snippet.conf load complete
For more information about the load command, see CLI Explorer.

ACX2000 Router Description | 18
ACX2100 Router Description | 19
The ACX2000 and ACX2100 Universal Metro Routers are principally designed to provide superior management for rapid provisioning to the access network. The ACX Series routers support rich Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet capabilities for uplink, along with support for legacy interfaces and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for radio and NodeB connectivity in a compact form factor that is environmentally hardened and passively cooled. Seamless, end-to-end MPLS can be used to address legacy and emerging requirements to provide the foundation for a converged network that utilizes the same mobile backhaul infrastructure for business or residential services.
The ACX Series router is a single-board router with a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding Engine. Because there is no switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of both ingress and egress packet forwarding:
Routing Engine—Provides Layer 3 routing services and network management.
Packet Forwarding Engine—Performs Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet switching, route lookups, and packet
forwarding.
The ACX Series router is powered by Junos OS, supporting extensive L2 and L3 features, IP and MPLS with traffic engineering, rich network management, fault management, service monitoring and Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities, and an open software development kit (SDK) system that allows providers to customize and integrate operations with their own management systems. For a list of related Junos OS documentation, see https://www.juniper.net/documentation/software/junos/.
As part of the mobile backhaul, the ACX Series router at the cell site and the MX Series router at the aggregation layer provide comprehensive end-to-end Ethernet, MPLS, and OAM features with the one Junos OS running on both platforms.
The compact routers are one rack unit (U; that is, 1.75 in., or 4.45 cm) tall. Several routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack for increased port density per unit of floor space.
The chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the other router components. The chassis measures 1.75 in. (4.45 cm) high, 9.4 in. (24 cm) deep, and 17.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48 cm) (from the front-mounting brackets to the rear of the chassis). The chassis installs in standard 300-mm deep (or larger) enclosed cabinets, 19-in. equipment racks, or telco open-frame racks.
18
Benefits of the ACX2000 and ACX2100 Routers
Improved operational efficiency with zero-touch deployment (ZTD)—The ACX Series routers support
a zero-touch deployment (ZTD) model that significantly reduces the time for any new equipment installation and provisioning, resulting in improved operational efficiency.
Installation flexibility with an environmentally hardened design—Most ACX Series routers are temperature
hardened and support passive cooling for outdoor deployments in extreme weather conditions.
ACX2000 Router Description
The ACX2000 router contains sixteen T1/E1 ports, six Gigabit Ethernet ports, and two PoE ports. The ACX2000 router also supports installation of two Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers and two 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ transceivers.
The ACX2000 router has one “pseudo” Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC 0), and four “pseudo” PICs (PIC 0 through 3).
Figure 1 on page 19 shows the front view of the ACX2000 router. Figure 2 on page 19 shows the rear

Packet Flow on ACX Series Routers

The class-of-service (CoS) architecture for ACX Series routers is in concept similar to that for MX Series routers. The general architecture for ACX Series routers is shown in Figure 7 on page 24.
Figure 7: ACX Series Router Packet Forwarding and Data Flow
Based on the model, ACX Series routers contain a built-in Routing Engine and Packet Forwarding Engine and can contain both T1/E1 and Gigabit Ethernet Ports.
The Packet Forwarding Engine has one or two “pseudo” Flexible PIC Concentrators. Because there is no switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of both ingress and egress packet forwarding.
Fixed classification places all packets in the same forwarding class, or the usual multifield (MF) or behavior

aggregate (BA) classifications can be used to treat packets differently. BA classification with firewall filters can be used for classification based on IP precedence, DSCP, IEEE, or other bits in the frame or packet header.
However, the ACX Series routers can also employ multiple BA classifiers on the same physical interface. The physical interfaces do not have to employ the same type of BA classifier. For example, a single physical interface can use classifiers based on IP precedence as well as IEEE 802.1p. If the CoS bits of interest are on the inner VLAN tag of a dual-tagged VLAN interface, the classifier can examine either the inner or outer bits. (By default, the classification is done based on the outer VLAN tag.)
Eight queues per egress port support scheduling using the weighted deficit round- robin (WDRR) mechanism, a form of round-robin queue servicing. The supported priority levels are strict-high and default (low). The ACX Series router architecture supports both weighted random early detect (WRED) and weighted tail drop (WTD).
All CoS features are supported at line rate.
The packet pipeline through an ACX Series router is shown in Figure 8 on page 25. Note that the rate limiting is done with an integrated architecture along with all other CoS functions. Scheduling and shaping are supported on the output side.

Configuring CoS on ACX Series Routers

Protocols and Applications Supported by ACX Series Routers

Table 5 on page 26 contains the first Junos OS Release support for protocols and applications on ACX
Series routers. A dash indicates that the protocol or application is not supported.
NOTE:
The [edit logical-systems logical-system-name] hierarchy level is not supported on ACX Series
routers.
The ACX Series routers does not support per-family maximum transmission unit (MTU)
configuration. The MTU applied to family inet gets applied to other families as well, even though it can be configured though CLI and visible in show interface extensive output. The only way to use higher MTU for a family is to manipulate the MTU, apply at interface or family inet levels, and let it calculate for each family automatically. MTU values are not limited to 1500 but can range between 256 to 9216.
