Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PTX10002-60C differ from the MX240 or MX480?

The PTX10002-60C is optimized for high-scale packet forwarding and transport — prioritizing route scale, MPLS label depth, and forwarding throughput. The MX series provides broader multi-service capabilities including subscriber management, NAT, and stateful services. For pure core routing and transport, the PTX platform provides superior forwarding scale per port.

Does the PTX10002-60C support full internet routing table?

Yes — the PTX10002-60C supports full internet BGP routing tables (1M+ IPv4 routes) with the route scale required for internet exchange and transit peering. This makes it suitable for IXP and transit deployments where full table BGP sessions are required.

Can PTX10002-60C ports be broken out to 25GbE?

Yes — each QSFP28 port supports 4x25GbE breakout via QSFP28-to-4xSFP28 cables, providing up to 240 x 25GbE connections for aggregation of 25G access or server connections from a single PTX10002-60C chassis.

The Juniper PTX10002-60C delivers 6 Tbps of 100GbE packet transport routing with SR-MPLS, SRv6, EVPN, and full BGP table support in a compact fixed chassis — providing PTX-series forwarding performance and carrier-grade reliability for service provider core routing, IXP peering, and data center interconnect at 100G scale.
