Well it would be RE-S-2000-4096 running the JTAC Recommended Junos Software Version Junos 13.3R8 plus the standard (not enhanced SCBs). I know more memory and 64 bit is usually better, but how does this help in Junos? From past threads, we have concluded that Junos is currently single thread/core

Thanks for the overwhelming wealth of information. So sounds like the ideal, supported setup would be a MX960 with 3 SBC, 2 RE-S-2000-4096, and redundant power supplies. For a recommended option, we would have a third RE-S-2000-4096 as a spare (well really we should have a spare for everything), a

That's correct. On MX960 you can have 3 SCBs running 2+1 redundancy or 3+0 performance mode. With 2 SCBs you run 2+0, ie: without redundancy. In the case of 1 failing, you are 1+0 and on reduced capacity, AFAIK I don't think it's terminal -- just very very suboptimal. :) With SCBE fabric, here

Hi Youssef, here the ctrl/fabric are transported using a vlan over a trunk, not direct p2p link, I guess it's different. They run VSTP and not sure what on Extreme network,... I suspect SRX is not happy to see different packet than HA packet on that link ;-) cheers James 2016-01-13 17:25 GMT+01

While it was not really advisable to run fabric link over a stack of switches, (and not to have cluster stretched over datacenter) I have setup many srx cluster in a similar way. Two points to check : - obviously a separate single vlan by fabric link (untag on the srx side, even if it may work
