[j-nsp] J-2320 base configuration - gotchas

Hi... I'm sizing a J-2320, and noticed the following RAM and flash defaults: • 256 MB DRAM default, expandable to 1 GB DRAM • 256 MB compact flash default, upgradeable to 1 G What is possible and not with such a configuration, like installing recent JunOS versions, FIB size, RIB size, L2 and L3

[j-nsp] IOS JUNOS MPLS-TE interoperability

Hi, Does anyone has experience with MPLS-TE interoperability between IOS (specifically ME6500, but it's probably like any other 12.2SX IOS) and JUNOS (recent/stable/good-for-service-providers version) ? I was wondering about 2 cenarios in particular: 1) JUNOS as head-end or tail-end, but not midd

[j-nsp] Juniper EX

I'm considering Juniper EX series for a new Metro Ethernet project, but the specs on the site haven't answered some doubts. - Does the EX has some "VRF-Lite" capability, i.e., multiple routing tables, attachment of interfaces and protocol instances to different contexts ? No MPLS involved, just pl

Besides the 12k routes limits, the 28k MAC addresses limit is not a hard one but somewhat less than a comparable ME6500 unit, which supports 256k routes and 64/96k MACs. If the Juniper EX software releases bring some Carrier Ethernet features, the box could be a strong competitor on the Metro Ethe

[j-nsp] System board memory expansion on M7i

Hi. M7i routers can be ordered with 256 or 512 MB RAM system board memory; any guidelines on what usage scenarios would make 512MB desirable or even mandatory ? Our need is a Internet router with 3 full-routing transit feeds and a bunch of peering connections that made us specify more memory for

Although Giuliano asked how many channels can be bundled using MLPPP, I think that the question can be answered also by using parallel IP paths. On M-series routers running on IP2, JunOS supports 16 equal cost paths, isn't it ? How many equal cost paths does J-series routers support ? Can the equa
