System Description
The M5 and M10 Internet routers provide high-speed interfaces for medium and large
networks and network applications, such as those supported by Internet service providers
(ISPs). Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), a definitive part of the router design,
enable the router to forward data at the high speeds demanded by current network media.
The M5 router supports up to four Physical Interface Cards (PICs), and the M10 router
supports up to eight PICs. Each PIC accepts a specific type of network media, providing up to
16 physical interface ports per system o n the M5 router and up to 32 ports per system on the
M10 router. The router height of 5.25 in. (13.3 cm) enables stacked installation of 14 M5 or
M10 routers in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space.
the following topics:
The router’s maximum aggregate throughput is 6.4 gigabits per second (Gbps), full duplex.
The router provides very high throughput for any combination of PICs that does not exceed 3
Gbps for the M5 router or 6 Gbps for the M10 router. A combination that exceeds these
numbersissupported,butconstitutes oversubscription.
The router architecture cleanly separates control operations from packet forwarding
operations, which helps to eliminate processing and traffic bottlenecks. Control operations in
the router are performed by the Routing Engine, which runs JUNOS Internet software to
handle routing protocols, traffic engineering, policy, policing, monitoring, and configuration
management. Forwarding operations in the router are performed by the Packet Forwarding
Engine, which consists of hardware, including ASICs, designed by Juniper Networks.
Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs)
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are router components that can be replaced at the customer
site. Replacing most FRUs requires minimal router downtime. The router uses the following
types of FRUs:

Physical Interface Cards (PICs)
Physical Interface Cards (PICs) physically connect the router to network media. They are
housed in Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs); for more information about FPCs, see “Fl exible
PIC Concentrators (FPCs)” on page 10.
PICsreceiveincomingpacketsfromthenetwork and transmit outgoing packets to the
network, performing framing and line-speed signaling for their media type as required.
PICs also encapsulate outgoing packets received from the FPCs before transmitting them.
The controller ASIC on each PIC performs additional control functions specific to the PIC
media type.
The router supports various PICs, including ATM, Channelized, Gigabit Ethernet, IP Services,
and SONET/SDH interfaces. For complete PIC specifications, see the M5 and M10 InternetRouters PIC Guide.
Some PICs, such as selected Gigabit Ethernet PICs, accept small form factor pluggables (SFPs),
which are fiber-optic transceivers that can be removed from the PIC. Various SFPs have
different reach characteristics. You can mix them in a single PIC and change the combination
dynamically. SFPs are hot-removable and hot-insertable, as described in “Field-Replaceable
Units (FRUs)” on page 3. For SFP replacement instructions, see “Replace an S FP” on page
95. For information about PICs that use SFPs, see the M5 and M10 Internet Routers PIC Guide.
Up to four regular PICs install into an M5 router and up to eight regular PICs install into an
M10 router, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The PIC slots on an M5 router and in the upper
FPConanM10routerarenumberedfrom0/0 (zero/zero) through 0/3, right to left. The PIC
slots in the lower FPC on an M10 router are numbered from 1/0 (one/zero) through 1/3,right
to left. The slot number for a PIC appears next to its offline button on the craft interface (see
“PIC Offline Buttons” on page 16). The number of ports on a PIC depends on the type of PIC.

the LED states differs for various PICs. For more information, see the M5 and M10Internet Routers PIC Guide.
•Ejector lever—Controls the locking system that secures the PIC in the card cage.
Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs)
Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) house the PICs that connect the router to network media
(for information about PICs, see “Physical Interface Cards (PICs)” on page 9). On the M5 and
M10 routers, each FPC is built in (cannot be removed from the chassis as on other M-series
platforms) and corresponds to a horizontal row of PIC slots. The single FPC on the M5 router
is numbered 0 (zero) and the two FPCs on the M10 router are numbered 0 and 1,topto
bottom. Each FPC accommodates up to fourregularPICsoronequad-widePIC.
Forwarding Engine Board (FEB)
The Forwarding Engine Board (FEB) performs route lookup, filtering, and switching
on incoming data packets, then directs outbound packets to the appropriate FPC for
transmission to the network. It can process 40 million packets per second (Mpps).
The FEB installs into the midplane from the rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3. It
weighs approximately 7 lb (3.2 kg). The FEB is field-replaceable, but you must power down
the router before removing it from the chassis. Packet forwarding halts until the FEB is
replaced, the router is powered on, and the Routing Engine finishes booting.
For FEB replacement instructions, see “Replace the FEB” on page 84.
The FEB communicates with the Routing Engine using a d edicated 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet
link that transfers routing table data from the Routing Engine to the forwarding table in the
Internet Processor II ASIC. The link is also used to transfer from the FEB to the Routing

Routing and Forwarding Tables
The primary function of the JUNOS routing protocol process is maintaining routing tables
and using the information in them to determine active routes to network destinations. It
copies information about the active routes into the Routing Engine’s forwarding table, which
the JUNOS kernel copies to the Packet Forwarding Engine.
By default, the routing protocol process maintains the following routing tables and uses the
information in each table to determine active routes to network destinations:
•Unicast routing table—Stores routing information for all unicast protocols running on
•Multicast routing table (cache)—Stores routing information for all multicast protocols
the router, including BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, and RIP. You can also configure additional routes,
such as static routes, for inclusion in the routing table. The unicast routing protocols use
the routes in this table when advertising routing information to their neighbors.
In the unicast routing table, the routing protocol process designates routes with the
lowest preference values as active. By default, a route’s preference value is simply a
function of how the routing protocol process learned about the route. You can modify
the default preference value by setting routing policies and configuring other software
parameters. See “Routing Policy” on page 25.

By default, all routing protocols place their routes into the routing table. When advertising
routes, the routing protocols, by default, advertise only a limited set of routes from the
routing table. Specifically, each routing protocol exports only the active routes that were
learned by that protocol. In addition, IGPs (IS-IS, OSPF, and RIP) export the direct (interface)
routes for the interfaces on which the protocol is explicitly configured.
For each routing table, you can affect the routes that a protocol places into the table and the
routes from the table that the protocol advertises by defining one or more routing policies

net Software Configuration Guide: Routing and Routing Protocols.
Routing policies applied when the routing protocol places routes into the routing table are
called import policies because the routes are being imported into the routing table. Policies
applied when the routing protocol is advertising routes that are in the routing table are called
export policies because the routes are being exported from the routing table. In other words,
the terms import and export are used with respect to the routing table.
Routing policy enables you to control (filter) which routes are imported into the routing table
and which routes are exported from the routing table. Routing policy also allows you to
set the information associated with a route as it is being imported into or exported from
the routing table. Routing policies applied to imported routes control the routes used to
determine active routes, whereas policies applied to exported routes control which routes a
protocol advertises to its neighbors.
You implement routing policy by defining policies. A policy specifies the conditions to use to
match a route and the action to perform on the route when a match occurs. For example,
when a routing table imports routing information from a routing protocol, a routing policy
might modify the route’s preference, mark the route with a c olor to identify it for later
manipulation, or prevent the route from even being installed in a routing table. When a
routing table exports routes to a routing protocol, a policy might assign metric values, modify
theBGPcommunityinformation,tagtheroutewith additional information, or prevent the
route from being exported altogether. You also can define policies for redistributing the
routes learned from one protocol into another protocol.

Distance Limitations for Signaling
Improperly installed wires can emit radio interference. In addition, the potential for damage
from lightning strikes increases if wires exceed recommended distances, or if wires pass
between buildings. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by lightning can damage
unshielded conductors and destroy electronic devices. If your site has previously experienced
such problems, you might want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and

Electromagnetic Compatibility
If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), particularly
from lightning or radio transmitters, you might want to seek expert advice. Strong sources of

AC Grounding and Power Cord Specifications
To ground an AC-powered router, plug each power supply into a grounded AC power
receptacle. The receptacle provides the grounding for the router, so no additional grounding
is necessary. The receptacle must be within about 8 ft (2.5 m) of the router and must be
easily accessible.
, Requirements, and Specificatio ns
Detachable AC power cords, each 2.5 m (approximately 8 ft) long, are supplied with the
router. The appliance coupler at the female end of the cord inserts into the ap pliance inlet on
the faceplate of the AC power supply. The coupler is type C13 as described by International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug at the male end of the power
cord fits into the power source receptacle that is standard for your geographical location.
