family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
}
}
2.Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the loadmerge configuration mode command:
[edit]

MX104UniversalRoutingPlatformOverview
TheJuniperNetworksMX104UniversalRoutingPlatformisoptimizedforaggregatingmobile,enterprise WAN, business, and residential access services. The MX104 router is designed for high-density access andpre-aggregationandisenvironmentallyhardenedtoallowoutsidedeploymentsincabinetsandremote terminals. The router is a high-performance router functioning as a universal aggregation platform for mobilebroadbandandmetroEthernetapplications. Italsoactsasauniversaledgeplatformsupportingall typesofprivateWAN,datacenterinterconnect,Internetedge,businessedge,andresidentialedgeservices.
The router is powered by the Junos Trio chipset and runs the Junos® operating system (Junos OS) for high-performance routing and switching. For a list of related Junos OS documentation, see https://www.juniper.net/documentation/software/junos/.
BenefitsofMX104Router
•SystemCapacity—MX104 provides 80 Gbps of throughput. MX104 has four Modular Interface Card (MIC)slotsandsupportsredundantfixed10-GigabitEthernetinterfacesforflexiblenetworkconnectivity.
•TheProgrammableChipset—The chipset implemented in the MX Series routers has a programmable forwardingdatastructurethatallowsfastmicrocodechangesinthehardwareitself,andaprogrammable lookupenginethatallowsinlineserviceprocessing.thechip’sprogrammableQoSenginesupportscoarse and fine-grained queuing to address the requirements of core, edge, and aggregation use cases.
•Always-oninfrastructurebase—MXSeriesroutersensurenetworkandserviceavailabilitywithabroad set of multilayered physical, logical, and protocol-level resiliency aspects. Junos OS Virtual Chassis technology on MX Series routers supports chassis-level redundancy and enables you to manage two routers as a single element. Multichassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) implementation supports stateful chassis, card, and port redundancy.
•Application-AwareNetworking—On MX Series routers you can use deep packet inspection to detect applications, and by using the user-defined policies, you can determine traffic treatment for each application. This feature enables highly customized and differentiated services at scale.
•JunosContinuityandUnifiedIn-ServiceSoftwareUpgrade(UnifiedISSU)—With the Junos continuity plug-in package, you can perform a smooth upgrade when new hardware is installed in your MX Series router.
Unified in-service software upgrade (unified ISSU) enables software upgrades and changes without disrupting network traffic.
•JunosTelemetryInterface—UsingtheJunostelemetryinterfacedata,youcanstreamcomponent-level data to monitor, analyze, and enhance the performance of the network. Analytics derived from this
21
streaming telemetry can identify current and trending congestion, resource utilization, traffic volume, and buffer occupancy.
•IntegratedHardware-BasedTiming—YoudonotneedtouseexternalclocksbecauseMXSeriesrouters supporthighlyscalableandreliablehardware-basedtiming,includingSynchronousEthernetforfrequency, andthePrecisionTimeProtocol(PTP)forfrequencyandphasesynchronization. SynchronousEthernet andPTPcanbecombinedinahybridmodetoachieveahighleveloffrequency(10ppb)andphase(<1.5 uS) accuracy.
SystemOverview
The chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the other router components (see
Figure 1 on page 21 and Figure 2 on page 22). The hardware system provides resiliency and redundancy, includingpowersuppliesandRoutingEngines.Thechassisalsohasfourbuilt-in10-GigabitEthernetSFP+ ports and four slots that accept Modular Interface Cards (MICs). For a list of the supported MICs, see the
MXSeriesInterfaceModuleReference.
Therouterisenvironmentallyhardenedandis3.5rackunits(U;thatis,6.125in.,or15.55cm)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 installed in standard 11.81 in. (30 cm)-deep (or larger) enclosed cabinets, 19-in. equipment racks, or telco open-frame racks.

MX104ComponentRedundancy
TheMX104chassisprovidesredundancyandresiliency.Thehardwaresystemisfullyredundant,including power supplies, Routing Engines, and cooling system.
A fully configured router is designed so that no single point of failure can cause the entire system to fail. Only a fully configured router provides complete redundancy. All other configurations provide partial redundancy. The following major hardware components are redundant:
•Power supplies—In a redundant configuration, the router contains either two AC or DC power supplies that install into the front of the chassis. The slots are labeled PS0 and PS1 (left to right). Each power supply provides power to all components in the router. When two power supplies are present, they share power almost equally within a fully populated system. If one power supply in a redundant configurationfailsorisremoved,theremainingpowersuppliesassumetheentireelectricalloadwithout interruption. Twopowersuppliesprovidethemaximumconfigurationwithfullpowerforaslongasthe router is operational.
•RoutingEngine—IftwoRoutingEnginesareinstalled,onefunctionsastheprimaryandtheotherfunctions as the backup. If the primary Routing Engine fails, the backup can take over as the primary.
•Cooling system—The cooling system has redundant components, which are controlled by the host subsystem. If one of the fans fails, the host subsystem increases the speed of the remaining fans to provide sufficient cooling for the router indefinitely.
MX104AlarmContactPortOverview
TheMX104routerhasfourexternalalarmcontacts(alsoknownaspotentialfreecontacts)forconnecting theroutertoexternalalarmdevices.TheportlabeledALARMusesa15-pinD-typeconnector.Theexternal alarmcontacthas15pinsthatacceptasinglecorewirefromexternalalarmdevices. ADE-15alarmcable is required to connect the MX104 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 twocontactsforconnectingtheroutertoexternalalarmdevices.Contact1ofeachalarmcanbeconfigured as Normally Open [NO] or Normally Closed [NC] through the CLI. Contact 2 of each alarm functions as a
27
reference [REF] or negative potential terminal for Contact 1 of the corresponding alarm and provides a currentpathforexternalalarmdevices. Table4onpage27 describesthefunctionsofthealarmcontacts.
