Juniper Networks SRX1400 Services Gateway
Uses Dynamic Services Architecture provided by Junos to scale integrated security and network capabilities

Architecture and Key Components:

Based on the time-tested, proven design of the SRX3000 line, the SRX1400 delivers deterministic performance optimized for 10GbE. A functional SRX1400 system consists of a base configuration together with a Network and Services Processing Card (NSPC) designed specifically for the SRX1400, or a combination of base configuration together with interchangeable SRX3000 line processing cards. The capability of the SRX1400 to use SRX3000 line cards can provide significant advantages and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Customers can simplify operations and maintenance by using one common security policy and a common set of spares that are compatible and interoperable between SRX1400 and SRX3000 line services gateways. Policy and configuration backup and restore operations, equipment replacements, migration and upgrade from SRX1400 to the SRX3000 line are straightforward.

With the exception of the hot-swappable fan tray, which is accessible from the rear panel, all modules and connections on the SRX1400 are accessible from the front panel.

Choice of Base Systems
Two base systems are available for the SRX1400 - a GE version and a XGE version. Both base system versions include a discrete Routing Engine module, one power supply (AC or DC2), and a fan tray assembly.

GE-Base System
The GE-Base System contains twelve GbE ports. Six of the twelve GbE ports are 10/100/1000 copper (RJ45), and six are 1000BASE-X. Two of the six 1000BASE-X ports can be used for either high availability (HA) cluster control or as data ports. The 1000BASE-X ports accept small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers which are available in copper, short reach (SX) multimode (MM fiber) and long reach (LX) single mode (SM fiber).

XGE-Base System
The XGE-Base System contains three ports of 10GbE and nine ports of GbE. Six of the nine GbE ports are 10/100/1000 copper (RJ45) and three are 1000BASE-X. Two of the three 1000BASE-X ports can be used for either HA cluster control or as data ports. The 1000BASE-X ports accept SFP transceivers which are available in copper, SX (MM fiber) and LX (SM fiber). The three 10GbE ports accept SFP+ transceivers which are available in SR (MM fiber), LR (SM fiber), and ER (SM fiber).

In addition to a base system, processing resources-either one integrated NSPC, or the combination of one SRX3000 line NPC, one SRX3000 line SPC, and one double wide tray-must be installed in order to have an operational system.

Options
Optional modules that can be added include one additional (redundant) power supply (AC or DC2) and one IOC for additional Ethernet connectivity. The SRX3000 line and SRX1400 use the same interchangeable IOC modules. The SRX1400 is designed for future expansion, including the ability to accommodate next-generation silicon from Juniper Networks.

SRX1400 NSPC¹
Providing the power inside the SRX1400, the integrated NSPC is optimized to perform all packet processing and inspection for all available services on the platform. The Juniper Dynamic Services Architecture manages the multiple cores of processing power on the NSPC as one pool or reservoir of resources, and dynamically allocates resources to services as needed. To ensure maximum processing performance and flexibility, the SRX Series high-end products uses network processors (NPCs) to distribute inbound and outbound traffic to SPCs and IOCs, apply QoS, and enforce protection from DoS/DDoS attack scenarios.

SRX3000 Line NPC and SPC
The SRX1400 will interoperate with the SRX3000 NPC and SPC cards. In order to use the SRX3000 line NPC and SRX3000 SPC in the SRX1400, it is necessary to use the optional double wide tray.

I/O Cards (IOC)
Supporting a wide variety of use cases and to accommodate interfacing between different Ethernet standards, the SRX1400 provides for additional front panel I/O to complement the excellent port density provided in the base system. SRX1400 and SRX3000 line of products use the same IOCs interchangeably. Each SRX1400 Services Gateway can accommodate one additional IOC; either 16 gigabit interfaces (16 x 10/100/1000 copper GbE or 16 x 1000BASE-X fiber GbE), or two 10GbE interfaces (2 x 10GbE XFP Ethernet).

Power Supplies
The SRX1400 accommodates one or two AC or DC²power supply modules. Each individual power supply is fully capable of furnishing all of the power the SRX1400 needs. The second power supply is redundant to the first and is used to increase availability in the event of a power supply failure. Power supplies are hotswappable, Network Equipment Building System (NEBS-III) ready, and accessible from the front panel.

1 Pocessing card(s) must be installed in the SRX1400 in order for proper operation. If the SRX1400 NSPC is not installed, then separate SRX3000 line NPC and SPC cards mounted on a double-wide tray must be installed in order for the SRX1400 system to function properly.

Features & Benefits:

Loaded with features and optimized for 10GbE networks, the SRX1400 has many attributes that make it superior to other products on the market:

Modules:

Network and Services Processing Cards

Customers have the option to install a new NSPC card or use a combination of 2 existing modules that are interchangeable and interoperable with both the SRX3000 line and the SRX1400.

Option 1 - SRX1400 NSPC
The NSPC combines in one new card, all of the services and network multi-core processing the SRX1400 needs to implement the Juniper dynamic services architecture.

Option 2 - Combination of SRX3000 NPC, SRX3000 SPC and double-wide carrier tray
The SRX1400 provides the flexibility to use SRX3000 line NPC and SPC cards in place of the SRX1400 NSPC. SRX3000 NPC and SRX3000 SPC cards must be mounted on a new double-wide carrier tray which is then installed in the top slot of the SRX1400 base system. The ability to use interoperable cards interchangeably in both SRX3000 and SRX1400 can simplify sparing logistics and reduce TCO.

Route Engine (RE)

The SRX data center series separates the control plane from the data plane, providing superior DoS/DDoS protection and maximizing management availability of the appliance under severe operating conditions, such as DoS attack or policy install. The SRX1400 features a new discrete RE card on the control plane to manage route tables, calculate routes for network traffic, provide overall device management, and facilitate communications with systems administrators.

System I/O Card (SYSIO)

There are two base systems available for the SRX1400:

• The GE base system comes with a GE SYSIO card installed. The GE version has 12 ports of 1Gb Ethernet built in. The built-in1GbE ports are a combination of six 10/100/1000 RJ45 and six 1000Base-X that accommodate SFP transceivers.
• The XGE base system comes with a XGE SYSIO card installed. The XGE version has 9 ports of 1Gb Ethernet and 3 ports of 10Gb Ethernet built in. The built-in1GbE ports are a combination of six 10/100/1000 RJ45 and three 1000Base-X that accommodate SFP transceivers. The built-in10GbE ports accommodate SFP+ optic transceivers. Two of the 1000Base-X ports in both base systems are shared ports that can be used either as data ports if clustering is not enabled, or as HA cluster control if clustering is enabled.

Input/Output Cards (IOC)

The SRX1400 has one expansion slot for additional IOCs or for next generation hardware containing Juniper's next generation silicon. The SRX1400 uses the same IOCs as the SRX3000 line - which provides for interoperability and interchangeability of IOCs between the SRX1400 and SRX3000 lines. In addition to the excellent high port density that is built-in to the base systems, three versions of SRX3000 line IOCs are available for the SRX1400:

• 16 x 10/100/1000 RJ45
• 16 x 1000Base-X SFP
• 2 x 10GBase-X XFP

Power Supplies

The SRX1400 uses new high-efficiency power supplies for a low environmental footprint. The SRX1400 base systems come with one AC power supply installed. A second, redundant AC power supply is available as an option for increased availability.

Technical Specifications:

1 Pocessing card(s) must be installed in the SRX1400 in order for proper operation. If the SRX1400 NSPC is not installed, then separate SRX3000 line NPC and SPC cards mounted on a double-wide tray must be installed in order for the SRX1400 system to function properly.
