Platform Considerations for the JNU Controller<br />

Documentation<br />
You can use any MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router as the JNU controller. The MX Series<br />
router uses Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) to connect to the satellites.<br />
You must use an MX Series router as the controller, <strong>and</strong> you must use MPCs (not DPCs).<br />
We recommend that you allocate more than one interface for interconnect between MX<br />
Series routers <strong>and</strong> satellites. These interfaces will be placed into link aggregation (LAG)<br />
configuration for fast recovery, with traffic spreading across member links.<br />
An MX Series router can manage one satellite on each of its Ethernet ports. For example,<br />
the MX960 router supports up to 176 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. It can therefore<br />
manage up to 176 satellite devices on the 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.<br />
