[j-nsp] Hardware Requirements

[Fouant, Stefan A]

Hi,

It's listed on page 45 "Gigabit Ethernet PIC with SFP" of the M20 Internet
Router PIC Guide.  I've included it below for your reference.

NOTE: On the M5, M10, M20, M40, and M160 routers, this PIC requires an
enhanced FPC.  See the hardware guide for your router for more information.

HTHs.

Hi,

we just bought the first set of P-1GE-SFP and found out, that they only
work with Junos >= 6.3 and only in E-FPCs. The first we found out by
reading the docs  (PIC-Guide of M20).
We only found out the latter by guessing and trying because we didn't
find any documentation about this.

Is there really no documentation where this is specified? Or is this
"natural" that new pics only run in the latest FPCs?
