Frequently Asked Questions

Can JNP10K-LC2101 and MX10K-LC2101 be mixed in the same MX10008 chassis?

Yes — both part numbers refer to the same hardware and are fully interchangeable. They can coexist in the same MX10008 chassis without any configuration or operational differences — select based on your procurement system”s preferred part number prefix.

What is the total MX10008 capacity with eight JNP10K-LC2101 line cards?

With eight JNP10K-LC2101 cards in a fully populated MX10008, the chassis delivers 192 x 100GbE ports and 19.2 Tbps of total interface capacity — positioning the MX10008 as one of Juniper”s highest-scale hyperscale routing platforms.

Does the JNP10K-LC2101 support Juniper Paragon Automation?

Yes — Juniper Paragon Automation (formerly NorthStar and Paragon Insights) supports MX10008 with JNP10K-LC2101 line cards for traffic engineering, path computation, network health monitoring, and closed-loop automation in large-scale SP backbone deployments.

The Juniper JNP10K-LC2101 delivers the same 24-port 100GbE QSFP28 line card capability as MX10K-LC2101 under the JNP10K ordering prefix — providing procurement flexibility and full interoperability with MX10K-designated cards in MX10008 deployments for hyperscale SP core routing, IXP peering, and segment routing backbone infrastructure.
