Keith, I have operated MX-480 networks installed with DPC's and within the last year have deployed MX-480's with MPC's/MIC's and haven't experienced the hardware issues you have run into. Based on my experiences with Juniper hardware, I would say you've just had unfortunate luck.

Hi. You folks have been great at answering some of my questions regarding our MX480, but have come across some big problems that me and the person who signed the PO are not very pleased about. A month or so ago I found we had a bad MPC card. Ok so we RMA'd it. This week I came on site to do some work on the MX. Long story short, new MPC card that had been installed and running for 15 days was flaky and possibly even the MIC too after I spent a day troubleshooting with Juniper TAC. So on a non production box, just sitting in the rack, powered up for a little more than 8 weeks, passing no traffic at all, it's on the 3rd MPC and 2nd MIC. I have to say at this point I am really not impressed with Juniper hardware. I'm sure the box is ok when its running properly, but at this point I'm having doubts about Juniper. We were pretty stoked about this box, now...not so much. Is this an anomaly and we got a lemon? Or have any others had to replace this many parts in so short of time? _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
