Re: [AFMUG] Used Juniper

Another option. Check out OcNOS from IP Infusion. CLI is almost identical to Cisco and it's a great value. OcNOS runs on white label boxes so you can choose the hardware platform that fits your needs (what I've ordered so far comes with OcNOS pre-installed). Lots of hardware choices from Edgecore and UfiSpace. IP Infusion supports others, too. OcNOS is a full featured carrier-class routing/switching OS and includes full BNG, MPLS, L3/L2VPN suite, etc. A Ufispace S9510-28DC-9N0A with DC power and OcNOS MPLS license is about $8K and is comparable to the Juniper MX204 in terms of features, capacity and port count, including full route tables if used at the border. On the low-end, the Ufispace 9502-16MT with MPLS license and DC power is about $2200 and has all the same capabilities/features as the bigger box, just less capacity and port count. Great platform. I suppose technically the white label boxes are L3 switches in so much as the ASIC that runs it a switch chip at its hard, but all routing, label switching, and L2 switching (data plane) takes place in the ASIC. Control plane is handled by the CPU. Worth a look. We have OcNOS interoperating with Juniper, Mikrotik and NetElastic on OSPF/MPLS/VPLS.

Full routes just depends on the model.  Some of them can’t do it.   We started buying Arista a couple of years ago when Juniper changed their pricing model.  Good products.  CLI almost identical to Cisco, so it’s old hat.  I have no complaints with Arista.   -Adam     From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Daniel Pautz via AF Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2024 11:00 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Cc: Daniel Pautz <d...@webnx.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Used Juniper   Is it really considered a router or just high end switch? Eg  does it take full multi tables, etc?  what model?     I have always considered playing with some Arista’s.   From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Zach Underwood Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2024 8:00 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Used Juniper   While not juniper and with no support we have done very well with used Arista. We got 12x 100gb +24 x40gb router that can do bgp for under 10k eaxh.   On Wed, Jan 10, 2024, 9:54 PM Jason McKemie <j.mcke...@veloxinetbroadband.com> wrote: Is this worth looking at or is it too problematic from a support / update perspective?
