Routing

Hello

In the documentation for the MPC cards for the MX series in some cards it says how many TRIO chipsets are in the card. i.e. the  MX-MPC1-3D-Q   has 1 TRIO PFE.

But in the  MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP   card this info doesn't appear. It says that this card provides line rate in the 16 ports. AFAIK each TRIO PFE is able to manage 30 Gbps full rate. That means that this card has 4 or 5 TRIO PFE.

Is that correct?

MPC-3D-16XGE has got 4 pfe's..

My understanding is that there is line-rate traffic between interfaces on the same card, but 3:4 over-subscription for any traffic going over the backplane to other linecards so keep that in mind when ordering.  If you truly need line-rate and you are planning to install multiple cards in one chassis then regard this as a 12-port 10G card.  Also take a look at the EANTC report which includes this line card for more info 🙂

Hi,

Currently we have an MX240 being tested in our lab for PPPoE test scenarios. We were success in configuring PPPoE using static configurations but the dynamic profiles kept failing with "No Resources" PPP response generated by the router.

From what we read in "Dynamic Profile for Subscriber Access" documentation, it seems that the dynamic profile setup needs Trio MPC/MIC installed on the router. In our lab configuration we only have an MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP installed on the router, and in the "MPC for The MX Series" documentation this particular MPC is written without any Trio attributes on the list.

Does it mean that the MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP is not a Trio MPC and therefore does not support the dynamic profile configuration?
