[j-nsp] Understanding limitations of various MX104 bundles

[Edward Dore]

I believe that the MX104-MX5 bundle is supposed to be locked to only allowing you to make use of a single MIC slot, like the MX5 version of the MX80. As to whether or not that is actually enforced…

    Hi all,
    
    Given the MX104-MX5-AC bundle which comes with 1 20x 1GE MIC pre-installed
    (and none of the onboard 10Gbps interfaces enabled), is this box actually
    limited to 20Gbps overall throughput?
    
    Can I install another MIC (say the MIC-3D-2XGE-XFP) in an additional slot
    to gain 2 10Gbps interfaces without purchasing any additional licensing?
    If I do this, is overall throughput of the chassis still locked to 20Gbps
    (due to the original bundle)?
    
    I can't find anything (ie "show system license") that states there is an
    overall capacity restriction, but I'm hearing mixed things from various
    sources.
    
    Thanks.
