Juniper SRX 2016 product line.
Handout slides.
So far these builds have been pretty easy.
SRX 1400
The above is the best 1 slide I can come up with.
The first thing to ask a client is.
Do you want the 1GE bundle.
Or do you want the 10GE bundle. The 10GE bundle will have an XGE that has 3 SFP+ ports.
Notice the XGE is 3 times the price.
The second question is
AC or DC.
the third item is odd.
The way it works is.
You can have a CARD at the top.
Called NPC-SPC-1-10-40 which is a bundle of NPC+SPC.
or
You can buy a TRAY and in that TRAY put a NPC
and in the other slot of the TRAY put a SPC.
Now, why did they come up with this.
The reason was, they thought some people would buy the NPC and SPC as separate items because later on.
They would buy a SRX3400/3600 and re-use those NPC and SPC in the 3400/3600 thereby saving some money.
So $12,600 more for the TRAY version. So this is one place you can save.
There is NO difference in performance.
Fourth item is the optional Module Slot which can be used for
2* 10G
16 SFP
16 GE
These modules can also be used in a 3400/3600 if you want to pitch this “scalability” to the client .
Alright, still pretty easy.
Now.
Let’s move to the interesting bits.
The SRX 3400 datasheet claims
30 Gbps performance.
Well, that is accurate only if you correctly spec one.
The datasheet should state. UP to 30 Gbps.
So
These are the slots on the firewalls.
AC
DC
First notice how DC can’t power as much as AC.
So if you hear DC, throw in a Juniper rep to triple check you.
Next use this table.
SO for example.
If the client is asking for 20 Gbps of throughput.
You need 3 SPUs
2 NPCs
1 IOC these are the ports.
If he is asking for 10 Gbps of IPSEC. Then you need to quote a 3600.
The Blue in that table is the limits of a 3400, the white requires a 3600.
So
3600 table is.
And you can use the same table .
So
17 Gbps IMIX.
6 SPUs
2 NPCs
1 IOC.
Alright,
Now that you got the idea on the SRX 3400/3600
This is the last slide Juniper made for the SRX5000 family.
This slide is old and the maximum here is 150 Gbps while the SRX today supports 300 Gbps.
So you should work with Juniper on this part.
I’ve asked them a few times for updated slides but with no luck.
