Juniper Networks Ex9200, Routing Engine, Quad C

The EX9200 Routing Engine supports control and management plane functionality with an integrated RE that features a quad core, 1.73 GHz Intel processor with 16 gigabytes of DRAM and dual front pluggable SSDs, each providing 32 GB of storage for Junos OS images and logs. The RE features AUX, console, and Ethernet ports on the front panel to support out-of-band system management and monitoring, while an external USB port provides a removable media interface to install Junos OS images manually.

The EX9200 switch's Routing Engine is based on the same field proven hardware architecture used by Juniper Networks routers, bringing the same carrier-class performance and reliability to the EX9200 that Juniper's routers bring to the world's largest service provider networks. The RE's central CPU performs all system control functions and maintains hardware forwarding table and routing protocol states for the EX9200 switch. Dedicated hardware on the RE module supports chassis management functions such as environmental monitoring, while communication between RE modules and individual line cards takes place over a dedicated internal GbE out-of-band control interface.
