Metro Aggregators

The 48x 100G ports help aggregate high-density access, enterprise, and mobile backhaul traffic into the metro transport layer. 100G ZR optics provide direct connectivity between access routers over distances of up to 120 km without amplification and up to 300 km with amplification. The 12x 800G ports connect all aggregated traffic towards the core network for high-capacity forwarding. The 800G ZR optics enable connectivity over distances up to 72 km without amplification and up to 120 km with amplification.  

Core

Core routing forms the high-speed, reliable backbone that transports massive volumes of data between geographically distributed network segments, data centers, and service provider PoPs. The PTX10002-60MR is well suited for this role with its high forwarding capacity and support for 100G, 400G, and 800G interfaces. Its deep buffer architecture, large FIB scale, and support for advanced technologies such as MPLS, SR-MPLS, SRv6, and RSVP-TE enable scalable and efficient traffic engineering across large backbone networks. Additionally, built-in MACsec support enhances link security, while its industry-leading watts-per-Gbps efficiency ensures highly power-efficient core deployments.

Peering, IXPs, CDN

Peering routing enables two or more independent networks to interconnect directly—bypassing third-party transit providers—to reduce latency, lower transit costs, and improve overall network performance. The Juniper PTX10002-60MR is well suited for peering deployments with its high RIB and FIB scale (RIB: 40M–60M, FIB: 4M+), enabling it to handle full Internet routing tables and large route volumes. It supports up to 4K BGP peers, allowing connectivity with numerous transit providers, CDNs, and Internet exchanges. In addition, its non-blocking architecture, efficient load-balancing mechanisms, and fine-grained routing policy control, with support for 16K filters and 64K policy terms, provide the flexibility and scalability required for large-scale peering environments.

DCI

Data Center Interconnect (DCI) enables high-speed connectivity between geographically distributed data centers to support workload mobility, data replication, disaster recovery, and large-scale AI workloads. The Juniper PTX10002-60MR is well suited for DCI deployments with its secure high-speed 400G and 800G interfaces and 14.4 Tbps switching capacity, enabling efficient transport of massive east–west data center traffic. Support for 100G ZR, 400G ZR, and 800G ZR optics enables efficient long-haul connectivity between data centers while reducing dependence on external optical transport systems. Additionally, its 64–128 ECMP path scale, 16 GB deep buffer capacity, and support for RoCEv2, PFC, and ECN ensure optimized performance for latency-sensitive and AI-driven workloads. Built-in line-rate MACsec encryption further provides secure inter–data center connectivity.

Main Forwarding Component

The PTX10002-60MR is powered by a single Express 5 Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE). The Express 5 is not just a single chipset but more an ASIC family. It’s the first in this industry to propose a design based on chiplets.

You will find more details on this blog post from Dmitry Shokarev: https://community.juniper.net/blogs/dmitry-shokarev1/2024/03/12/express-5-overview and in the PTX10002-36QDD introduction: https://community.juniper.net/blogs/nicolas-fevrier/2024/03/19/introducing-ptx10002-36qdd 

The PTX10002-60MR is a standalone platform with no fabric connectivity requirements. It is based on a single BXM package made of unique X-chiplet, presenting 144x WAN SerDes at 100Gbps (106/112Gbps with overhead).

Block Diagram

Figure 5: PTX10002-60MR Block Diagram

The diagram in Figure 5 illustrates the different components in a PTX10002-60MR. The Express 5 has 144x SerDes for WAN connectivity: 8x SerDes forms one Port Group (PG), so in total, we have 18x PGs (PG0 to PF17). The SerDes speed represented in the diagram between components are “maximum speeds”. For example, a 100G links can actually be programmed at lower speeds: 50G, 25G or 10G.

You’ll notice the presence of a PHY programmed in Reverse Gear Box (RGB) mode between the PFE and the QSFP28 cages. Their role is to increase the port fanout (lower speed port density) but they introduce certain constraints (see the “Port Break Out” section below).

Each pair of Reverse Gear Box is mapped to one PG and each 800Gbps port is also mapped to a dedicated PG.

Routing Engine Overview

The internal PTX10002-60MR Routing Engine is powered by an Intel Ice Lake-D 8-core processor running at frequency up to 3.1GHz. Note it’s a build-in RE, not a FRU (Field Replaceable Unit).

The Routing Engine is equipped with four 32 GB DDR4 RDIMMs (two DIMMs per channel), delivering a total memory capacity of 128GB operating at a memory speed of 2400 MT/s. For local storage, the platform supports two 200 GB NVMe SSDs, which are mounted on the bottom side of the Routing Engine board. A mechanical design provision allows the SSDs to be removed and serviced from the bottom of the chassis, simplifying maintenance operations.

Additionally, the platform supports Secure Boot mode, ensuring system integrity by allowing only trusted software to run during the boot process.

The PTX10002-60MR includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chip, which provides secure, non-volatile storage used as a persistent and access-controlled area for storing critical security information. This includes platform identity, cryptographic keys, security policies, and component registration data. The TPM enhances platform security by ensuring trusted system initialization and protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Management Port View Figure 6: Management Ports of PTX10002-60MR

The Juniper PTX10002-60MR provides several management and timing interfaces on the front panel to support system administration and network synchronization:

• 1x USB 3.0 port
  
• 1x RJ-45 management (MGT) port
  
• and 1x console (CON) port for local and remote management access.
  

For precise timing and synchronization, the platform supports: 

• 10 MHz input/output
  
• 1PPS (Pulse Per Second) input/output
  
• PTP Class D
  
• Sync-E
  

The front panel also includes status LEDs for Power, SSD0, SSD1, and Offline states, enabling quick visual monitoring of system health and operational status.

FANs and Power Supply Units

Figure 7: Back side view of PTX10002-60MR

The PTX10002-60MR has 3 RU fan trays. It uses high-pressure 80 mm × 80 mm × 86 mm fans designed to provide efficient cooling for high-performance routing components. The system supports AFO (Airflow Out) airflow. Each fan tray operates with a power consumption ranging from 90W to 146W, depending on system thermal conditions. The fan module is designed to function reliably across a wide operating temperature range of –10°C to 70°C. The fans operate at speeds of approximately 16,000 RPM (±10%) at the inlet and 14,000 RPM (±10%) at the outlet, ensuring adequate airflow and thermal management for the platform. Each Fan tray has dual counter rotating fans. The chassis supports single rotor failure cases.

Figure 8: PTX10002-60MR Fan Tray

The PTX10002-60MR chassis has 2 PSU Slots. The modules available are 2,200W AC (240V), DC and HVDC/HVAC options with single feed. The chassis supports 1+1 PSU or feed redundancy.

Interfaces

The PTX10002-60MR (like all members of the PTX10k Series) is an Ethernet-only router. 

Figure 10: Port to PFE Mapping

As illustrated in Figure 3, the Express 5 BXM is made of two datapaths seen as PFE0 and PFE1 from the Operating System point of view.

Half of the ports will be mapped (directly or indirectly) to one Datapath/PFE. The Figure 10 above is displaying this mapping.

Port Naming Logic

The system is made of a single Flexible PIC Card (FPC) and a single Physical Interface Card (PIC), it simplifies the port naming significantly: all interfaces are named et-0/0/[0-59]:[0-7].

Figure 11: Port Numbering and Naming Logic

Port numbering is shown in the figure above and ranges from et-0/0/0 to et-0/0/59. In this format, the first number indicates the FPC slot, the second number indicates the PIC, and the last number represents the port. When breakout cables are used, a single port is divided into multiple logical interfaces. For example, et-0/0/0 can break out into et-0/0/0:0 to et-0/0/0:7.
Note that we can not enable channelization (break-out) on all ports.

The full list of supported interfaces will be updated soon on the Pathfinder Hardware Compatibility Tool (HCT), the following chart provides a couple of examples.

As a quick on-box reference, the following CLI command shows transceivers plugged into the port, plus the port speed capabilities (note: it shows capabilities and not necessarily the software support. Please use the port checker and hardware compatibility tools on apps.juniper.net to verify the support).

  • 1x100G
    
  • 1x40G
    
  • 1x25G (with QSA)
    
  • 1x10G (with QSA)
    
  • 4x25G 
    
  • 4x10G
    
• Other QSFP28 ports supporting
  
  • 1x100G
    
  • 1x25G (with QSA)
    
  • 1x10G (with QSA)
    
• QSFP112-DD supporting
  
  • 1x800G
    
  • 1x400G
    
  • 1x200G
    
  • 1x100G
    
  • 1x40G
    
  • 1x25G (with QSA)
    
  • 1x10G (with QSA)
    
  • 2x400G

  • 4x25G
    
  • 4x10G
    
  • 7x100G, 6x100G, 5x100G, 3x100G, 3x200G, 2x200G 
    

It’s important to understand we talk about port capability here, not port support. We expose what the physical port can do in terms of SerDes, clocks, etc. But it doesn’t mean the software to support it has been implemented, or that it is fully tested. Again, we advise to use the port checker tool from pathfinder for authoritative information.

We need a QSA adapter to operate 25GE or 10GE as standalone interfaces. 

Breakout Ports Support

The PTX10002-60MR relies on PHY configured as RGB to offer a high 100GE port density. But it comes with some additional considerations (and potentially restrictions).

First, the "4x" breakout configuration is only supported on the top row QSFP28 ports and many other options are supported on all the QSFP112-DD ports as illustrated below:

Figure 8: Ports Supporting Break-Out

Example: if you configure port et-0/0/0 for channelization/breakout. You’ll also need to configure the ports et-0/0/1, et-0/0/2 and et-0/0/3 as “unused”. Otherwise, the commit will be refused.

The 2x50GE break-out option is technically feasible but not supported at FRS (inception of the product). It will come in a future release and will only be supported in top and bottom rows of QSFP28 ports.

Mixing 25GE and 10GE Interfaces

A particular attention should be brought to the following point, particularly during the ports provisioning/allocation phase of a router deployment.

The 25GE and 10GE cannot be mixed within the same port group.

Figure 9: 10GE and 25GE ports are not supported in the same port group

We have two different "speed groups".

• Speed group 1 supports 100G, 50G and 25G
• Speed group 2 supports 100G, 50G and 10G

A single port group can operate in only one speed group at a time. Therefore, ports within the same port group cannot simultaneously support both 25G and 10G.

In case of doubt, always check the Pathfinder Port Checker: https://apps.juniper.net/port-checker/ptx10002-60mr/

Max Ports Count

Below table shows the maximum port density in native more or with breakout:

ZR/ZR+ Optics Support

PTX10002-60MR supports ZR capability on all ports. The QSFP28 ports supports 100G ZR which enables connecting devices across 120km. The QDD ports supports 400G ZR which connects devices across 80km to 128km. The QDD ports also supports 800G ZR which connects devices across 72km.

MACSEC Support

The PTX10002-60MR supports MACSEC on all ports at line-rate. MACSEC is implemented using BXM ASIC. MACSEC block power will be turned off (clock-gated) by default at boot time. Hence, traffic will bypass the MACsec block by default. When the user configures MACsec on an interface, the power will be turned on and traffic flow will go through the MACsec block.
