About the Juniper T4000 Network router

The Juniper T4000 is a half rack multiservice core router produced by Juniper Networks, Inc. as part of the T series of core routers. Created in 1998, the T Series included the T320, T640, T1600 as well as the TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus.

As with many of the early M Series routers, the Juniper T4000 routing system achieves impressive performance speeds by utilising architecture that splits the control operations from the forwarding operations helping to prevent delays when the router is forwarding packet data.

Control operations are performed using the host subsystem running the Junos OS, the proprietary operating system used in all Juniper routers. This subsystem handles configuration management, monitoring, policing and traffic engineering. The host subsystem also controls the routing protocols. The Juniper T4000 is capable of supporting many of the latest routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, and IS-IS. .

Forwarding operations get managed by the Packet forwarding engines. Held within these are several ASCI’s (application specific integrated circuits) a technology designed by Juniper which form a core part of the router’s design. These ASCI’s allow for enormous packet forwarding rates meaning it can utilise the full capabilities of modern fibre-optics.

The Juniper T4000 is the perfect routing solution for large-scale service providers and enterprise businesses. Capable of providing up to 2.0 Tbps (terabits per second) full duplex switching and up to a total of 2.4 billion packets per second (Mpps) forwarding. It can also handle 240 Gbps per slot, and can support up to 208 ports of 10GBE or 16 ports of 100GBE interfaces making it one of the densest line rate IP/MPLS routing systems available.

Another key feature of the Juniper T4000 router is its modular design, which allows for flexible configuration and expansion. It has the capability of holding up to 16 interface cards and four MFC (Management and Fabric Control) cards as well as up to eight Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPC’s), all of which can be configured to handle different media types.

The combination of high performance and flexible configuration options make the T4000 core router incredibly popular amongst network operators, who can tailor the flexible architecture to meet the needs of the individual business. It also benefits from a half rack chassis meaning operators can still achieve high port density while being able to utilise the most mounting options possible.

Juniper announced the end of life for the Juniper T series of routers in 2016. They are superseded by the PTX-Series core routers and MX-Series edge routers. Despite the OEM no longer offering support for the Juniper T series, TXO can continue to support and service all routers in this range.

Repair capability for the Juniper T4000

At TXO we believe we should aim to reduce the environmental impact of the telecoms sector across the supply chain, which is why we make it our mission to support the circular economy. As part of this, we offer a full third-party repair service that focuses on refurbishing and repairing many components for the Juniper T4000 Core router, as well as many others across the Juniper range.

Our team of experienced system engineers based at our advanced engineering facilities in Solihull complete over 12,000 repairs every year. With an in-depth knowledge of core telecom repairs including optical, IP and radio-based technologies they are able to ensure the clients we work with can maintain optimum service levels and minimise disruption to the operation of their business.

As part of our expert repair and refurbishment service, we will often conduct pre-emptive repairs to Juniper T4000 components that are susceptible to developing faults. This helps prevent future repairs from being required and extends the longevity of your existing Juniper system.

On top of our extensive range of parts available to order online, we are also able to procure replacement parts for the Juniper T4000 core network router, if we don’t already have them available in stock. And, to ensure that you experience minimal disruption to your business operations, we also offer an advance replacement service, where we deliver components to you before a repair is carried out, therefore ensuring minimal downtime.
