Documentation and Release Notes
To obtain the most current version of all Juniper Networks®technical documentation, see the product
documentation page on the Juniper Networks website at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/.
If the information in the latest release notes differs from the information in the documentation, follow the
product Release Notes.
Juniper Networks Books publishes books by Juniper Networks engineers and subject matter experts.
These books go beyond the technical documentation to explore the nuances of network architecture,
deployment, and administration. The current list can be viewed at https://www.juniper.net/books.
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:
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.

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.

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.

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 familyinet levels, and let it calculate for each family automatically. MTU values are not limited to
1500 but can range between 256 to 9216.

The ACX2000 and ACX2100 router has four external alarm contacts (also known as potential free contacts)
for connecting the router to external alarm devices. The port labeled ALARM uses a 15-pin D-type
connector. The external alarm contact has 15 pins that accept a single core wire from external alarm
devices. A DE15 alarm cable is required to connect the ACX2000 and ACX2100 router to external alarm
devices. Use the gauge wire appropriate for the external device that you are connecting.
Whenever a system condition triggers an alarm, the alarm relay contacts are activated, which in turn
activates the external alarm devices. The alarm setting is open or closed.
You can connect and configure two output alarms and four input alarms. Two additional output alarms
are reserved and are used to indicate major and minor system alarms. Each output and input alarm has
two contacts for connecting the router to external alarm devices. Contact 1 of each alarm can be configured
as Normally Open [NO] or Normally Closed [NC] through the CLI. Contact 2 of each alarm functions as a
reference [REF] or negative potential terminal for Contact 1 of the corresponding alarm and provides a
current path for external alarm devices. Table 11 on page 55 describes the functions of the alarm contacts.

Figure 12 on page 55 shows an example of a wiring diagram for a simple output alarm-reporting device.

the red alarm LED and relay contacts. The alarm relay contacts can also be used to activate other devices
such as bells or buzzers.

Clocking Ports on the ACX2000 and the ACX2100 Router
The clocking ports acquire the clock source and synchronize communication over time-division multiplexing
(TDM) interfaces in the router. The clocking ports distribute a synchronized clock signal throughout the
router by locking onto a clock signal originating from an internal clock source or by connecting to an
external clock source.
The reference clock inputs can be T1/E1 line clocks, Ethernet recovered clocks, IEEE 1588v2 recovered
clocks, or xDSL NTU-R timing. Externally available reference clocks are BITS T1/E1 rate clocks, 1 PPS, and
10 MHz. The four SubMiniature B (SMB) connectors and one RJ-48 port on the front panel of the router
connect to external clock signal sources. The clocking ports provide the synchronized output clocks from
any one of the above reference inputs based on the clock’s priority.
Internal clock sources within the router include:
External building-integrated timing system (BITS) timing port
•
10-MHz timing connectors (one input and one output)
•
1.544-MHz/2.048 MHz T1/E1 (RJ-48) ports for timing input or output
•
1 pulse-per-second (PPS) connectors (one input and one output)
•
Time-of-Day (TOD) RS232 port
•
SyncE support on RJ-45/SFP ports as timing input or output
•
Packet timing (IEEE 1588v2) includes:
•
Timing input when configured as Ordinary Clock (OC) or Boundary Clock (BC)
•
Timing output when configured as BC
•

ACX2100 AC Power Cord Specifications
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet that requires a dedicated AC power feed. Most sites
distribute power through a main conduit that leads to frame-mounted power distribution panels, one of
which can be located at the top of the rack that houses the router. An AC power cord connects each power
supply to the power distribution panel.
63
You can order detachable AC power cords, each approximately 8 ft (2.5 m) long that supply AC power to
the router. The C15 appliance coupler end of the cord, as described by International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) standard 60320, inserts into the AC appliance inlet coupler. The plug end of the power
cord fits into the power source receptacle that is standard for your geographic location.

ACX2000 and ACX2100 DC Power Specifications
The power supplies in DC-powered ACX2000 and ACX2100 routers are built in along the front left panel
of the chassis with DC power terminals to connect power to the router. The power supplies are labeled
PS0 and PS1.
When the ACX2100 router are operating normally and both power supplies are switched on, load sharing
between them occurs automatically. When one power supply fails or is turned off, the other power supply
immediately assumes the entire electrical load for the system. A single power supply can provide full power
for as long as the router is operational.
NOTE: When only one power supply is available on an ACX2100 router, we recommend that
you connect both the power inputs to the same source. That is, connect both the DC power
inputs of the ACX2100 router to the only available power supply. Doing so ensures that you get
the maximum amount of hold-up time during a power failure.
65
ACX2000 and ACX2100 routers support a wide range of voltage ranges as shown in Table 21 on page 65.

General Site Guidelines
Efficient device operation requires proper site planning and maintenance and proper layout of the equipment,
rack or cabinet (if used), and wiring closet.
To plan and create an acceptable operating environment for your device and prevent environmentally
caused equipment failures:
70
Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conductive material, such as metal flakes.
•
Follow prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions properly and that
•
exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the device.
Follow the prescribed electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention procedures to prevent damaging the
•
equipment. Static discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.
Install the device in a secure area, so that only authorized personnel can access the device.
•
Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines
Table 23 on page 71 describes the factors you must consider while planning the electrical wiring at your
site.
WARNING: You must provide a properly grounded and shielded environment and use
electrical surge-suppression devices.

Electromagnetic
compatibility
If your site experiences any of the following problems, consult experts in electrical surge suppression
and shielding:
Improperly installed wires cause radio frequency interference (RFI).
•
Damage from lightning strikes occurs when wires exceed recommended distances or pass between
•
buildings.
Electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) caused by lightning damage unshielded conductors and electronic
•
devices.
To reduce or eliminate RFI from your site wiring, do the following:
Use a twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding conductors.
•
If you must exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one
•
ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.
If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), particularly from
lightning or radio transmitters, seek expert advice.
Some of the problems caused by strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) are:
Destruction of the signal drivers and receivers in the device
•
Electrical hazards as a result of power surges conducted over the lines into the equipment
•
Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance on
ACX2000 and ACX2100 Routers
When planning the installation site, allow sufficient clearance around the rack (see Figure 15 on page 72):
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, allow at least 2.16 in. (5.5 cm) in
•
front of the router.
The rack or cabinet must have an adequate supply of cooling air.
•
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from the cabinet without recirculating
•
into the router.
When deploying the router in harsh environments where the router may operate between 131° F (55°
•
C) and 149° F (65° C), allow a 1–rack unit (U) gap above and below the router.
Ensure that there is a minimum 1 meter/second airflow in any direction.

ACX2000 and ACX2100 Router Environmental Specifications
The router must be installed in a rack or cabinet housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and
temperature-controlled environment.
Ensure that these environmental guidelines are followed:
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing the
•
efficiency of the router cooling system.
Maintain ambient airflow for normal router operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
•
intake air is too warm, the router might overheat, leading to the router temperature monitor shutting
down the router to protect the hardware components.
NOTE: Depending on the ambient temperature, it may take up to 5 minutes for the router to
heat up to the operating temperature.

Cabinet airflow requirements
When you mount the router in a cabinet, ensure that
ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent
overheating.
Ensure an adequate cool air supply to dissipate the
•
thermal output of the router or routers.
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust
•
air to exit the cabinet without recirculating into the
router. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that
employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top allows
the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet
contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements
assist with removing the hot air exhaust.
Install the router in the cabinet in a way that maximizes
•
the open space on the side of the chassis that has the
hot air exhaust. This space maximizes the clearance for
critical airflow.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of
•
airflow to and from the chassis.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets
•
allows for the proper clearance around the router and
cabinet.
A cabinet larger than the minimum required provides
•
better airflow and reduces the chance of overheating.

Determining Transceiver Support and Specifications
You can find information about the pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device
by using the Hardware Compatibility Tool. In addition to transceiver and connector type, the optical and
cable characteristics—where applicable—are documented for each transceiver. The Hardware Compatibility
Tool allows you to search by product, displaying all the transceivers supported on that device, or category,
displaying all the transceivers by interface speed or type. The Hardware Compatibility Tool is located at
https://apps.juniper.net/hct/.
Some transceivers support additional monitoring using the operational mode CLI command show interfacesdiagnostics optics. Use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to determine if your transceiver supports
monitoring. See the Junos OS documentation for your device for a description of the monitoring fields.
CAUTION: If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses a
third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC)
can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer might recommend
that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially replace it with an equivalent
Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified for the device.

Calculating Power Budget and Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables
Use the information in this topic and the specifications for your optical interface to calculate the power

How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cable
To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate
the link's power budget, which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit. When you calculate the
power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts of an
actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels. To calculate the worst-case estimate of power
budget (PB), you assume minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR):
PB= PT– P
The following hypothetical power budget equation uses values measured in decibels (dB) and decibels
referred to one milliwatt (dBm):
PB= PT– P
PB= –15 dBm – (–28 dBm)
R
R
PB= 13 dB
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cable
After calculating a link's power budget, you can calculate the power margin (PM), which represents the
amount of power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the power budget (PB). A
worst-case estimate of PMassumes maximum LL:
PM= PB– LL
PMgreater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient to operate the receiver.
Factors that can cause link loss include higher-order mode losses, modal and chromatic dispersion,
connectors, splices, and fiber attenuation. Table 28 on page 82 lists an estimated amount of loss for the
factors used in the following sample calculations. For information about the actual amount of signal loss
caused by equipment and other factors, refer to vendor documentation.

Multimode—None, if product of bandwidth and distance is less than

Single mode—0.5 dB/km
Multimode—1 dB/km
The following sample calculation for a 2-km-long multimode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB uses
the estimated values from Table 28 on page 82 to calculate link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber attenuation
(2 km @ 1 dB/km, or 2 dB) and loss for five connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 2.5 dB) and two splices
(0.5 dB per splice, or 1 dB) as well as higher-order mode losses (0.5 dB). The power margin (PM) is calculated
as follows:
PM= PB– LL
PM= 13 dB – 2 km (1 dB/km) – 5 (0.5 dB) – 2 (0.5 dB) – 0.5 dB
PM= 13 dB – 2 dB – 2.5 dB – 1 dB – 0.5 dB
PM= 7 dB
The following sample calculation for an 8-km-long single-mode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB
uses the estimated values from Table 28 on page 82 to calculate link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber attenuation
(8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 3.5 dB). The power
margin (PM) is calculated as follows:
PM= PB– LL
PM= 13 dB – 8 km (0.5 dB/km) – 7(0.5 dB)
PM= 13 dB – 4 dB – 3.5 dB
PM= 5.5 dB
In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient
power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.

Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the walls
of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs as light sources. However, LEDs are not
coherent sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which reflects the
light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing signal dispersion.
When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding, higher-order mode loss results.
Together these factors limit the transmission distance of multimode fiber compared with single-mode
fiber.
Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light can reflect internally through one layer only.
Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate a single wavelength of light,
which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber. Compared with multimode fiber, single-mode
fiber has higher bandwidth and can carry signals for longer distances.
Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant signal loss, which causes unreliable
transmission.
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable
Correct functioning of an optical data link depends on modulated light reaching the receiver with enough
power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in power of the light signal as it is
transmitted. Attenuation is caused by passive media components, such as cables, cable splices, and
connectors. Although attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media, it still occurs
in both multimode and single-mode transmission. An efficient optical data link must have enough light
available to overcome attenuation.
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion can affect an
optical data link:
Chromatic dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time resulting from the different speeds of light rays.
•
Modal dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time resulting from the different propagation modes in
•
the fiber.
84
For multimode transmission, modal dispersion, rather than chromatic dispersion or attenuation, usually
limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode transmission, modal dispersion is not a factor.
However, at higher bit rates and over longer distances, chromatic dispersion rather than modal dispersion
limits maximum link length.
An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that the receiver
requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion must be less than the limits
specified for the type of link in Telcordia Technologies document GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) document G.957.
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as a power penalty in
the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum of component attenuation, power
penalties (including those from dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses.

Installing the ACX2000 or ACX2100 Router in the Rack
NOTE: The router can be installed horizontally in a rack or cabinet. For additional installation
options, contact JTAC.
To install the router in the rack (see Figure 20 on page 99):
CAUTION: Before front mounting the router in a rack, have a qualified technician
verify that the rack is strong enough to support the router's weight (about 7 lb (3.2 kg))
and is adequately supported at the installation site.
NOTE: One person must be available to lift the router while another secures it to the rack.
CAUTION: If you are mounting multiple units on a rack, mount the heaviest unit at
the bottom of the rack, and mount the other units from the bottom of the rack to the
top in decreasing order of the weight of the units.
98
1. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure that the installation
site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance.
2. Position the router in front of the rack or cabinet.
3. Hold onto the bottom of the chassis, and carefully lift it so that the mounting brackets contact the rack
rails.
WARNING: To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not
your back. Avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure
that your footing is solid.
4. Align the mounting brackets with the holes in the rack rails.
5. Install a mounting screw into each of the open mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the
bottom.
6. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the rack, all the mounting
screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side, and
the router should be level.
