SRX 5000 {Q3/2015}
SP/ Enterprise grade firewall.
A slot can have either a Services Processing Card or an IO card.
In order to determine the number of
Services Processing Cards or IO cards. You need the Cheat Sheets.
You pick the performance you need and then add the cards.
SRX5800
SRX 5600
SRX5400
This helps you select the right cards.
This table below helps you understand the performance you get out of each card, RE and Chassis combo
Here are some reasons to upgrade or buy 5800E and 5800X
Caveats.
Some slots should have been able to accept either another SCB or a IO/SPC card.
However this is not so at this stage.
For example, if you have the SPC4 on a SRX5800 you can only have two SCB2
SRX 5400 only supports one SCB
These are the IO cards.
The first is the older generation FC
the second is the new one.
Due to ROHS.
5800 will be replaced by 5800E and 5800X.
So expect an EOL sometime.
As far as througgghput these devices reign supreme right now in the market.
