Juniper MX2020 – 20-Slot Carrier-Grade Router

Guide price: Price range: £18,150.00 through £115,600.00 Ex. VAT

Product Overview

The Juniper MX2020 Universal Routing Platform is a high-capacity, modular core and edge router designed for service provider, cloud and large enterprise networks that require massive throughput, flexible port scaling and advanced services.

Built on Juniper’s programmable Trio chipset and running Junos OS, the MX2020 delivers up to 80 Tbps of system forwarding capacity in a modular 24-slot chassis. It supports high-density line cards spanning 10 GbE, 40 GbE, 100 GbE and 400 GbE, alongside rich routing, MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, segment routing and timing features tailored for demanding IP transport, data-centre interconnect and broadband edge applications.

Ideal deployment / environment:
The MX2020 is ideal for core, backbone and metro aggregation roles in environments that require extreme throughput and port density combined with protocol-rich services. Its high Tbps capacity and modular interface options make it suitable for IP/MPLS core networks, data-centre interconnect, broadband edge and wholesale peering fabrics where service scale, resiliency and high availability are essential.

With Junos OS capabilities such as EVPN-VXLAN, segment routing and advanced automation, the MX2020 supports cloud-scale operations, carrier Ethernet services and next-generation 5G transport requiring robust routing, programmability and telemetry for large-scale IP services.

Key Features

  • System capacity: up to 80 Tbps of forwarding throughput in a scalable 24-slot chassis.
  • Modular interface support: flexible line-card population supporting dense 10/40/100 GbE and high-speed 400 GbE ports.
  • Routing & protocols: full IPv4 and IPv6 with MPLS, BGP-4/MP-BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, segment routing and EVPN-VXLAN overlay.
  • MACsec support: hardware-accelerated MACsec on applicable line-card interfaces for secure transport.
  • High availability: redundant Routing Engines, power supplies and fans with resilient fabric for continuous operations.
  • Timing & sync: advanced timing features including PTP and Synchronous Ethernet for latency-sensitive transport.
  • Automated operations: robust telemetry via Junos Telemetry Interface, sFlow/IPFIX and programmable APIs for automated network insights.
  • Form factor: large-format chassis with flexible slot allocation for service modules and densification.
