[j-nsp] SRX for MPLS

[Jai Chandra Gundapaneni]

Sorry for the confusion. The top end SRX don't yet support the MPLS feature as yet. The top end SRX don't work in packet mode.

I don't believe that's the case. You can do MPLS (I can't say I've ever done it, but I know the config is possible) the major catch with that is the SRX will be switched to packet mode (vs flow) and you loose the flow capabilities of the SRX platform. Basically you can turn the SRX into a branch router and do MPLS but the MPLS router+firewall isn't possible. security {     forwarding-options {         family {             mpls {                 mode packet-based;                 }             }         } } Hope this clears things up, -Tim Eberhard On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 9:59 PM, Jai Chandra Gundapaneni <jaichandra at juniper.net> wrote: At least not yet I should say.

We are thinking about the use of SRX220 under some conditions: - Use it in a not a good environment without air conditioning and a lot of dust ... external box temperature rises from 35 to 42 Celsius. - Be the point to interconnect POPs using point to point radios (100~1000 Mbps) - Using it to provide a VPLS infrastructure for L2 transport and client isolation until the start of the backbone (M7i and MX80 Routers) - SRX220 to provide OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 L3 gateway for some routed clients. The figure showed at the following link tries to resume it at all: http://www.wztech.com.br/JUNIPER/Topology.png It is possible to use this box in a such project ?  Do you have any experience using it to do this type of topology ? Is is possible that SRX220 can work fine under so strength environment conditions ?  Could it blow up or goes down ? If someone has implemented this kind of environment can please share the experiences ?
