SRX

I am looking at buying two SRX1500 to place into a cluster and am investigating the modules/cables needed.
Can anyone advise if there is any performance drops/gains on usingf a Copper SFP as opposed to a fibre SFP to link both of the dedicated control ports to form the cluster? Does anyone also have the module part numbers so I can do a Google for it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi stuman,

 

I dont think there is an option for a copper SFP for this port. Based on the hardware guide:

 

======================================================================================

Note that the HA control port supports only the following transceivers:

 

• EX-SFP-1GE-LH

• EX-SFP-1GE-LX

• EX-SFP-1GE-SX

• EX-SFP-1GE-SX-ET

• QFX-SFP-1GE-LX

• QFX-SFP-1GE-SX

• SRX-SFP-1GE-LH

• SRX-SFP-1GE-LX

• SRX-SFP-1GE-LX-ET

• SRX-SFP-1GE-SX

• SRX-SFP-1GE-SX-ET

Ref: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/topic-map/srx1500-chassis.html

======================================================================================

 

None of the above are copper SFPs and those are the part number of the supported ones.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the info I must of missed that bit when I read the hardware guide.
