Common questions
Can I turn it on and route with nothing else?
The hardware boots Junos OS, but this SKU ships without feature rights. L2, IGP, MPLS and port rights are each a separate right-to-use purchase.
Which port licenses exist for it?
Rights are offered for 1, 8, 16, 24 or 48 10GbE ports and for a single 100GbE port, and there are feature tiers up to Advanced and Premium.
My racks pull cold air from the back. Is this the one?
Yes. The AFI version draws air in at the power-supply side and exhausts at the port side. Its supplies are JPSU-650W-AC-AI.
