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;
}
}
} }
ix
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]
x
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.

MX150 Router Overview

IN THIS SECTION
Benefits of MX150 Router | 16
MX150 Hardware | 17
System Software | 18
The MX150 Universal Routing Platform is a compact, high-performance edge router that is ideally suited for lower bandwidth service provider applications and distributed service architectures, and for enterprise WAN use-cases. The MX150 supports advanced technologies like telemetry that simplify your operations environment, and maximize network uptime.
16
The MX150 is 1 rack unit (U) tall. The MX150 can be mounted on a desk or any other level surface, on two posts in a Rack, and on four pots in a rack or Cabinet. The MX150 conserves space and contains costs associated with power and cooling.

Benefits of MX150 Router

System Capacity—MX150 provides 20 Gbps of throughput and supports 1-Gigabit Ethernet and
10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
The Programmable Chipset—The chipset implemented in the MX Series routers has a programmable
forwarding data structure that allows fast microcode changes in the hardware itself, and a programmable lookup engine that allows inline service processing. the chip’s programmable QoS engine supports coarse and fine-grained queuing to address the requirements of core, edge, and aggregation use cases.
Always-on infrastructure base—MX Series routers ensure network and service availability with a broad
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-Aware Networking—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.
Junos Continuity and Unified In-Service Software Upgrade (Unified ISSU)—With the Junos continuity
g006769
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.
Junos Telemetry Interface—Using the Junos telemetry interface data, you can stream component-level
data to monitor, analyze, and enhance the performance of the network. Analytics derived from this streaming telemetry can identify current and trending congestion, resource utilization, traffic volume, and buffer occupancy.
Integrated Hardware-Based Timing— You do not need to use external clocks because MX Series routers
support highly scalable and reliable hardware-based timing, including Synchronous Ethernet for frequency, and the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for frequency and phase synchronization. Synchronous Ethernet and PTP can be combined in a hybrid mode to achieve a high level of frequency (10 ppb) and phase (<1.5 uS) accuracy.
17

MX150 Hardware

The MX150 provide carrier-grade level of a rich set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. The MX150 has eight 1-Gigabit Ethernet network ports, two 1-Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports that can be used as either access ports or as uplink ports, two SFP ports, two SFP+ ports, and one management port. The MX150 has a 1 U form factor and is shipped with built-in fans and power supply.
Figure 1: MX150 Port Panel
The MX150 can be used as:
An integrated branch router.
A secure router for distributed enterprises.

System Software

The MX150 use the Junos OS CLI. You can manage the device by using the Junos CLI, accessible through the console on the device.

MX150 Cooling System

The MX150 has front-to-back airflow. The air intake to cool the chassis is located at the front of the chassis. Air is pulled into the chassis and pushed toward the fans, which are built-in. Hot air exhausts from the rear of the chassis. See Figure 8 on page 25.

Power Supply in MX150

The MX150 routers use a fixed, internal AC power supply. The power supply distributes different output voltages to the device components according to their voltage requirements. The power supply is fixed in the chassis and is not field-replaceable.
The power supply has a single AC appliance inlet that requires a dedicated AC power feed. The AC power cord inlet is on the rear panel of the device.
