Juniper MX204 Routers Are High Performing Fixed-configuration Devices

The Juniper MX204 offers scalability and speed in units specifically designed for high-intensity computing environments with limited network hardware space.

The MX204 is the top-of-the-line fixed-configuration router of the Juniper MX Series. It’s also the only fixed-configuration router in the MX Series with cloud-grade networking capabilities.

Available Juniper MX204 Models

The Juniper MX204 router offers a cloud-grade platform for customers that require high-density throughput that is compact and scalable. And at only 1 rack unit (RU) in size, the Juniper MX204 delivers 400 Gbps of throughput and supports 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet speeds. And, like all other MX Series routers, the Juniper MX204 interface configuration is extremely scalable, making it an ideal solution for networking environments of all sizes, from single branch locations to large-scale data centers.

The 12 fixed Juniper MX204 ports include four rate-selectable QSFP28 and QSFP+ ports that support 40G and 100G Ethernet, as well as 10G Ethernet using Juniper MX204 breakout cables). The other eight ports operate at a fixed rate of 1G or 10G Ethernet and support SFP and SFP+ optical transceivers.

The Juniper MX204 dimensions measure 17.6 x 1.75 x 18.7 inches, allowing you to fit 42 units per rack. Additionally, the Juniper MX204 chassis supports two power supply modules and three fan trays.

Juniper JNP204-CHAS

The Juniper JNP204-CHAS is the standard MX204 rack-mountable chassis with no additional licenses.

Juniper MX204-IR

The Juniper MX204 with IR mode is physically the same device as the standard MX204 chassis but includes an infrastructure routing (IR) license upgrade, which enables enhanced specifications.

Juniper MX204-R

The Juniper MX204-R is also the same as the standard MX204 chassis, but it also includes a routing (R) license upgrade, which enables the most advanced specifications supported on the chassis.

Pre-owned MX204 Specs

Although Juniper MX204 routers are the same size as MX150 routers, the Juniper MX204 virtual chassis features much more powerful specifications, including speed, port density and maximum capacity. However, as opposed to several fixed-configuration MX Series routers, the MX204 does not have any Modular Interface Card (slots), which limits the ability to customize ports.

The MX204 is the only fixed-configuration router in the MX Series that supports 100G Ethernet. The MX204 also supports 1G, 10G and 40G Ethernet speeds. And at only 1 rack unit (RU) in size, the MX204 is ideal for small networking facilities that require a powerful routing solution.

Additionally, the low Juniper MX204 power consumption — only 0.9W/Gb — makes it ideal if you’re looking to save on electricity or move toward more sustainable equipment.

The MX204 Has Several Features Not Available on Other Fixed-configuration Routers

You can see in the chart below that the MX204 is targeted more at high-speed networks, whereas most fixed-configuration routers in the MX Series are intended for networks that max out at 10G Ethernet.

Fixed-configuration MX Series Router Comparison Chart:

	MX5	MX10	MX80	MX104	MX150	MX204
Rack Units	2	2	2	3.5	1	1
Slots	3 MICs	3 MICs	4 10GbE, 3 MICs	4 10GbE, 4 MICs	N/A	8 10GbE, 4 100GbE
Max Capacity	20 Gbps	40 Gbps	80 Gbps	80 Gbps	20 Gbps	400 Gbps
Max 1G Ethernet Ports	20	40	80	80	12	24
Max 10G Ethernet Ports	N/A	1	8	8	2	24
Max 40G Ethernet Ports	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	4
Max 100G Ethernet Ports	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	4

As you can see, the number of MIC slots, the Juniper MX204 throughput and the number of high-speed — 40G and 100G — Ethernet ports on the MX204 are significantly higher than comparable devices.
