End User License Agreement
READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) BEFORE DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE. BY DOWNLOADING,
INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE EXPRESSING YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, YOU (AS CUSTOMER
OR IF YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER, AS A REPRESENTATIVE/AGENT AUTHORIZED TO BIND THE CUSTOMER) CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THIS
AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT OR CANNOT AGREE TO THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, THEN (A) DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE
SOFTWARE, AND (B) YOU MAY CONTACT JUNIPER NETWORKS REGARDING LICENSE TERMS.
1. The Parties. The parties to this Agreement are Juniper Networks, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Juniper”), and the person or organization that
originally purchased from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller the applicable license(s) for use of the Software (“Customer”) (collectively, the “Parties”).
2. The Software. In this Agreement, “Software” means the program modules and features of the Juniper or Juniper-supplied software, and updates and
releases of such software, for which Customer has paid the applicable license or support fees to Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller. “Embedded
Software” means Software which Juniper has embedded in the Juniper equipment.
3. License Grant. Subject to payment of the applicable fees and the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, Juniper grants to Customer a
non-exclusive and non-transferable license, without right to sublicense, to use the Software, in executable form only, subject to the following use restrictions:
a. Customer shall use the Embedded Software solely as embedded in, and for execution on, Juniper equipment originally purchased by Customer from
Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller.
b. Customer shall use the Software on a single hardware chassis having a single processing unit, or as many chassis or processing units for which Customer
has paid the applicable license fees; provided, however, with respect to the Steel-Belted Radius or Odyssey Access Client software only, Customer shall
use such Software on a single computer containing a single physical random access memory space and containing any number of processors. Use of
the Steel-Belted Radius software on multiple computers requires multiple licenses, regardless of whether such computers are physically contained on a
single chassis.
c. Product purchase documents, paper or electronic user documentation, and/or the particular licenses purchased by Customer may specify limits to
Customer’s use of the Software. Such limits may restrict use to a maximum number of seats, registered endpoints, concurrent users, sessions, calls,
connections, subscribers, clusters, nodes, realms, devices, links, ports or transactions, or require the purchase of separate licenses to use particular features,
functionalities, services, applications, operations, or capabilities, or provide throughput, performance, configuration, bandwidth, interface, processing,
temporal, or geographical limits. In addition, such limits may restrict the use of the Software to managing certain kinds of networks or require the
Software to be used only in conjunction with other specific Software. Customer’s use of the Software shall be subject to all such limitations and purchase
of all applicable licenses.
d. For any trial copy of the Software, Customer’s right to use the Software expires 30 days after download, installation or use of the Software. Customer
may operate the Software after the 30-day trial period only if Customer pays for a license to do so. Customer may not extend or create an additional
trial period by re-installing the Software after the 30-day trial period.
e. The Global Enterprise Edition of the Steel-Belted Radius software may be used by Customer only to manage access to Customer’s enterprise network.
Specifically, service provider customers are expressly prohibited from using the Global Enterprise Edition of the Steel-Belted Radius software to support
any commercial network access services.
The foregoing license is not transferable or assignable by Customer. No license is granted herein to any user who did not originally purchase the applicable
license(s) for the Software from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller.
4. Use Prohibitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license provided herein does not permit the Customer to, and Customer agrees not to and shall
not: (a) modify, unbundle, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based on the Software; (b) make unauthorized copies of the Software (except as
necessary for backup purposes); (c) rent, sell, transfer, or grant any rights in and to any copy of the Software, in any form, to any third party; (d) remove any
proprietary notices, labels, or marks on or in any copy of the Software or any product in which the Software is embedded; (e) distribute any copy of the
Software to any third party, including as may be embedded in Juniper equipment sold in the secondhand market; (f) use any ‘locked’ or key-restricted
feature, function, service, application, operation, or capability without first purchasing the applicable license(s) and obtaining a valid key from Juniper, even
if such feature, function, service, application, operation, or capability is enabled without a key; (g) distribute any key for the Software provided by Juniper
to any third party; (h) use the Software in any manner that extends or is broader than the uses purchased by Customer from Juniper or an authorized
Juniper reseller; (i) use the Embedded Software on non-Juniper equipment; (j) use the Software (or make it available for use) on Juniper equipment that the
Customer did not originally purchase from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller; (k) disclose the results of testing or benchmarking of the Software to
any third party without the prior written consent of Juniper; or (l) use the Software in any manner other than as expressly provided herein.
5. Audit. Customer shall maintain accurate records as necessary to verify compliance with this Agreement. Upon request by Juniper, Customer shall
furnish such records to Juniper and certify its compliance with this Agreement.
6. Confidentiality. The Parties agree that aspects of the Software and associated documentation are the confidential property of Juniper. As such, Customer
shall exercise all reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the Software and associated documentation in confidence, which at a minimum includes
restricting access to the Software to Customer employees and contractors having a need to use the Software for Customer’s internal business purposes.
7. Ownership. Juniper and Juniper’s licensors, respectively, retain ownership of all right, title, and interest (including copyright) in and to the Software,
associated documentation, and all copies of the Software. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a transfer or conveyance of any right, title, or interest in
the Software or associated documentation, or a sale of the Software, associated documentation, or copies of the Software.
8. Warranty, Limitation of Liability, Disclaimer of Warranty. The warranty applicable to the Software shall be as set forth in the warranty statement
that accompanies the Software (the “Warranty Statement”). Nothing in this Agreement shall give rise to any obligation to support the Software. Support
services may be purchased separately. Any such support shall be governed by a separate, written support services agreement. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, JUNIPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR COSTS OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS

OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY JUNIPER
OR JUNIPER-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE. IN NO EVENT SHALL JUNIPER BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED OR IMPROPER USE OF
ANY JUNIPER OR JUNIPER-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE WARRANTY STATEMENT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW, JUNIPER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IN AND TO THE SOFTWARE (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE),
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT DOES
JUNIPER WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY EQUIPMENT OR NETWORK RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, WILL OPERATE WITHOUT ERROR OR
INTERRUPTION, OR WILL BE FREE OF VULNERABILITY TO INTRUSION OR ATTACK. In no event shall Juniper’s or its suppliers’ or licensors’ liability to
Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty, or otherwise, exceed the price paid by Customer for the Software that gave
rise to the claim, or if the Software is embedded in another Juniper product, the price paid by Customer for such other product. Customer acknowledges
and agrees that Juniper has set its prices and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set
forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between the Parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and
cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties.
9. Termination. Any breach of this Agreement or failure by Customer to pay any applicable fees due shall result in automatic termination of the
license granted herein. Upon such termination, Customer shall destroy or return to Juniper all copies of the Software and related documentation in
Customer’s possession or control.
10. Taxes. All license fees for the Software are exclusive of taxes, withholdings, duties, or levies (collectively “Taxes”). Customer shall be responsible
for paying Taxes arising from the purchase of the license, or importation or use of the Software.
11. Export. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable export laws and restrictions and regulations of any United States and any applicable foreign
agency or authority, and not to export or re-export the Software or any direct product thereof in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations, or
without all necessary approvals. Customer shall be liable for any such violations. The version of the Software supplied to Customer may contain encryption
or other capabilities restricting Customer’s ability to export the Software without an export license.
12. Commercial Computer Software. The Software is “commercial computer software” and is provided with restricted rights. Use, duplication, or
disclosure by the United States government is subject to restrictions set forth in this Agreement and as provided in DFARS 227.7201 through 227.7202-4,
FAR 12.212, FAR 27.405(b)(2), FAR 52.227-19, or FAR 52.227-14(ALT III) as applicable.
13. Interface Information.To the extent required by applicable law, and at Customer’s written request, Juniper shall provide Customer with the
interface information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created program, on payment of applicable
fee, if any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance
with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Juniper makes such information available.
14. Third Party Software.Any licensor of Juniper whose software is embedded in the Software and any supplier of Juniper whose products or technology
are embedded in (or services are accessed by) the Software shall be a third party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement, and such licensor or vendor
shall have the right to enforce this Agreement in its own name as if it were Juniper. In addition, certain third party software may be provided with the
Software and is subject to the accompanying license(s), if any, of its respective owner(s). To the extent portions of the Software are distributed under and
subject to open source licenses obligating Juniper to make the source code for such portions publicly available (such as the GNU General Public License
(“GPL”) or the GNU Library General Public License (“LGPL”)), Juniper will make such source code portions (including Juniper modifications, as appropriate)
available upon request for a period of up to three years from the date of distribution. Such request can be made in writing to Juniper Networks, Inc.,
1194 N. Mathilda Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94089, ATTN: General Counsel. You may obtain a copy of the GPL at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html, and a
copy of the LGPL at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html.
15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to its conflicts of laws principles. The
provisions of the U.N. Convention for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. For any disputes arising under this Agreement, the
Parties hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts within Santa Clara County, California.
This Agreement constitutes the entire and sole agreement between Juniper and the Customer with respect to the Software, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements relating to the Software, whether oral or written (including any inconsistent terms contained in a purchase order), except
that the terms of a separate written agreement executed by an authorized Juniper representative and Customer shall govern to the extent such terms are
inconsistent or conflict with terms contained herein. No modification to this Agreement nor any waiver of any rights hereunder shall be effective unless
expressly assented to in writing by the party to be charged. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid, the Parties agree that such invalidity shall not
affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement. This Agreement and associated documentation has been written in the English language, and
the Parties agree that the English version will govern. (For Canada: Les parties aux présentés confirment leur volonté que cette convention de même
que tous les documents y compris tout avis qui s’y rattaché, soient redigés en langue anglaise. (Translation: The parties confirm that this Agreement
and all related documentation is and will be in the English language)).

ERX Overview
This chapter provides introductory information about the ERX routers. It contains
the following sections:
Overview on page 3
ERX Routers on page 3
ERX Modules on page 9
Network Management Tools on page 16
Redundancy Features on page 16

Overview
ERX routers are modular, carrier-class networking devices that deliver performance,
reliability, and service differentiation to both business and consumer Internet
users. The ERX-7xx and ERX–14xx models offer high port density, low power
consumption, and fully redundant Internet access routing and edge aggregation. The
ERX-310 router supports the same services, but with smaller capacity and scaling
capabilities. ERX routers offer the complete edge solution for IP-optimized carriers.

ERX Routers
Five models of ERX routers are available:
ERX-1440 router
ERX-1410 router
ERX-710 router
ERX-705 router
ERX-310 router
All models use the same software. However, the specific model determines the:

ERX-14xx Models
NOTE: In the E-series documentation, the term ERX-14xx models refers to both
the ERX-1440 router and the ERX-1410 router. The terms ERX-1440 router and
ERX-1410 router refer to the specific models. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.

The ERX-1440 router manages an extremely high volume of network traffic,
and uses a 40-Gbps switch route processor (SRP) module, either the SRP-40G or
SRP-40G+ module. (The SRP-40G+ module obsoletes the SRP-40G module;
however, the software continues to support both modules.) In this model, all
line modules operate at full wire speed simultaneously.
The ERX-1410 router manages high levels of network traffic, and uses the
10-Gbps SRP module (SRP-10G). You can configure the ERX-1410 router to
enable the line modules either to operate at full line rate performance or to
allow line modules to operate at a rate dependent on the resources available.
The former option restricts the allowed combinations of line modules. For
information on configuring performance of line modules, see JUNOSe System
Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.
NOTE: The 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX-310 router is different from the
10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX-1410 router. See “SRP Module” on page 10
for more information.

Externally, the ERX-1440 chassis is the same as the ERX-1410 chassis. (See Figure 1
and Figure 2.) Both routers contain 14 vertical slots to accommodate modules.
Internally, the ERX-1440 chassis differs from the ERX-1410 chassis, and
includes a special midplane for the 40-Gbps SRP module.
Installation procedures and operating procedures are identical for both
systems. All ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models use the same SRP I/O module,
but different power input modules are used.
NOTE: The router may look different from the routers shown in the figures in this
chapter, depending on the line modules in the slots.

ERX-7xx Models
NOTE: In the E-series documentation, the term ERX-7xx models refers to both the
ERX-705 router and the ERX-710 router. The terms ERX-705 router and ERX-710
router refer to the specific models. See Figure 3 and Figure 4.

The ERX-7xx models are robust, high-density routers with less capacity
than the ERX-14xx models. The ERX-7xx models use either the
SRP-10G module or the SRP-5G module.
You can configure the ERX-7xx models to enable the line modules (LM) to operate
either at full line rate performance or at a rate dependent on the resources available.
For information about configuring performance of line modules, see JUNOSe
System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.
NOTE: The 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX-310 router is different from the
10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX-710 router. See “SRP Module” on page 10
for more information.

The ERX-705 chassis is the same as the ERX-710 chassis. (See Figure 3 and Figure 4.)
The chassis contains seven slots to accommodate modules. Installation procedures
and operating procedures are identical for both systems. All ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx
models use the same SRP I/O module, but different power input modules are used.

ERX-310 Router
The ERX-310 router is a low-end platform that supports all of the same services
as the ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models, but with smaller capacity and scaling
capabilities. Like the ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models, the ERX-310 router
uses the same software architecture, providing a single IP entry point into
the network with the same IP-based protocols and services that are available
on other ERX routers. The ERX-310 router is designed to be used as a small
distributed POP router as well as a high-end CPE router.
The ERX-310 router is a three-slot chassis with a midplane architecture. One slot
supports one nonredundant 10-Gbps SRP module, while the other two slots support
line modules. The router supports existing E-series ASIC-based line modules (except
the OC48/STM16 line module), as well as a select number of combination cards.
The combination cards provide a fixed combination of interfaces on the I/O module
so that a single slot can support multiple interfaces (ATM OC3 and GE, for example).
NOTE: The 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX-310 router is different from
the 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models. See “SRP
Module” on page 10 for more information.

The ERX-310 router is available in either redundant AC- or DC-powered models.

ERX Modules
Each system supports an SRP module and a selection of line modules. You can
use any line module for access or uplink . Access line modules receive traffic
from low-speed circuits, and the system routes the traffic onto higher-speed
uplink line modules and then to the core of the network.
Each module connects to a corresponding I/O module via a passive
midplane. See Figure 8.
The front panel of each module contains a collection of status LEDs
(light-emitting diodes). For information about how to interpret the
LEDs, see “Troubleshooting” on page 103.

Guide for line module specifications.

SRP Module
Switch route processor (SRP) modules perform system management, routing
table calculations and maintenance, forwarding table computations, statistics
processing, configuration storage, and other control plane functions. Each
SRP module is a PowerPC-based system with its own memory, nonvolatile
disk storage, and power supply. (See Figure 9 and Figure 10.)

Module Details
ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models use up to two redundant SRP modules operating
in an active/standby configuration. ERX-310 routers use only one SRP module.
An SRP module must be present for any system to boot.
SRP modules ranging from 5 Gbps to 40 Gbps can be used in ERX-7xx and
ERX-14xx models. Only a 10-Gbps SRP module (SRP-SE10G) can be used in
ERX-310 routers. See the ERX Module Guide for complete information.
NOTE: Because of different physical dimensions and switch fabric capabilities, SRP
modules are not interchangeable between systems. For example, the 10-Gbps SRP
module used in ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models cannot be used in the ERX-310
router, and vice versa.

12

ERX Modules

ERX Overview

CAUTION: Do not remove the SRP module while the system is running.

NOTE: Some SRP modules require a minimum amount of memory to be used
with JUNOSe Release 5.3.0 or a higher-numbered release. See the ERX Module
Guide for module specifications.

For details about installing SRP modules, see “Installing Modules” on page 35.

SRP Module Redundancy
SRP module redundancy is available only for ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models.
See “Redundancy Features” on page 16 for more information.

Nonvolatile Storage
The PCMCIA slot on the front of the SRP module holds a Type II PCMCIA nonvolatile
storage (NVS) card. (See Figure 9 and Figure 10.) This card is loaded with the
system’s software and configuration files. The PCMCIA card is factory installed.

CAUTION: Although you can remove PCMCIA NVS (Flash) cards from a running
router, we recommend that you do not do so. If you remove the card while data is
being written to or copied from the NVS card, data can be lost or corrupted.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you shut down the router before removing
a PCMCIA NVS card.

SRP I/O Module
The SRP I/O module is a single corresponding input/output module that interfaces
with the SRP modules through the system’s midplane. The same SRP I/O module
works with all SRP modules, but is router specific. The I/O module used in
ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models cannot be used in the ERX-310 router, and
vice versa. See Figure 2, Figure 4, and Figure 6 for locations.

Module Details
The SRP I/O module provides standard craft management interfaces, including:
10/100Base-T—The port enables access to the ERX router for Ethernet
management functions via CLI or SNMP, for example.

ERX Modules

13

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

RS-232—The port provides a serial connection for monitoring the system’s
hardware configuration through a PC (running terminal emulation software) or
ASCII terminal. Allows direct CLI access.
Alarm contacts—The contacts provide for remote indication of critical, major,
and minor router alarms (ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models only; currently
not implemented)
External timing inputs—The inputs provide a method of ensuring that the
clock timing used by the router remains synchronized with the network’s
system clock. BNC connectors and wire wraps are available for ERX-7xx
and ERX-14xx models only.
For details about installing the SRP I/O module, see “Installing Modules” on page 35.

Line Modules
Line modules (LM) process data from different types of network connections.
For information about available line modules and which SRP modules support
specific line modules, see the ERX Module Guide.
Figure 11 shows a representative line module. For details about installing
line modules, see “Installing Modules” on page 35.

Packet Classification
Most line modules support packet classification on ingress; some non-ASIC line
modules do not. A classification engine on the line module matches specific
fields (such as source and destination IP address, source and destination port,
and protocol), the ingress IP interface, layer 2 fields, or some combination
of these against user-configured filters at wire speed.

I/O Modules
Most line modules have a corresponding input/output (I/O) module that provides
the physical interconnection to the network. Insert each I/O module into the
back of the system, directly behind its corresponding line module.
For information about which line modules pair with which I/O modules, see the
ERX Module Guide. See Figure 2, Figure 4, and Figure 6 for locations. For details
about installing I/O modules, see “Installing Modules” on page 35.

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

Network Management Tools
You can use different management tools to configure the system to
meet the specific networking requirements.

CLI Management
The CLI provides fully developed and automated configuration and status
functionality through a local RS-232 port, Telnet, or SSH via any reachable
network. For a full discussion of the CLI, see JUNOSe System Basics
Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-Line Interface.

SNMP MIB Management
The system offers a complete SNMP interface for configuration, status,
and alarm reporting. The system supports both Standard and Enterprise
MIBs (Management Information Bases). The Juniper Networks E-series
Enterprise MIB is ASN.1 notated for easy importing into third-party SNMP
management applications. For more information, see JUNOSe System Basics
Configuration Guide, Chapter 4, Configuring SNMP.

NMC-RX Device Management System
The NMX-RX application provides a global method of managing all routers,
line modules, and ports through a graphical user interface.

Redundancy Features
This section describes system redundancy features.

SRP Modules
NOTE: This section applies to ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models only. ERX-310 routers
contain one SRP module and therefore do not offer SRP module redundancy.

ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models use a 1:1 redundancy scheme for the SRP module.
When two SRP modules of the same type are installed in the chassis, one acts as a
primary (active) and the second as a redundant (standby) module. Both SRP
modules share a single SRP I/O module located in the rear of the chassis.
If the standby SRP module detects that the primary SRP module is not active
(and high-availability mode is not enabled), it reboots the system and takes
control. If high-availability mode has been enabled, automatic switchover
occurs with near hitless failover. If you upgrade software, you must copy
the software to the redundant SRP and reboot it. For information about
configuring and managing SRP module redundancy, see JUNOSe System
Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.

After you install two SRP modules, the modules negotiate for the primary role.
A number of factors determine which module becomes the primary; however,
preference is given to the module in the lower-numbered slot. The SRP modules
record their latest roles and retain them the next time you switch on the system.
For information about installing SRP modules, see “Installing Modules” on page 35.

NVS Cards
If you have two SRP modules installed in a system, you can use NVS cards
of different capacities on the SRP modules. The effective capacity of the
higher-capacity NVS card will equal that of the lower-capacity NVS card. For
information about installing NVS cards, see “Installing Modules” on page 35.
When you install new NVS cards or SRP modules, you must issue the synchronize
command to match the file system of the NVS card on the redundant SRP
module with the file system of the NVS card on the primary SRP module.
(The NVS card on the redundant SRP module will hereafter be referred to
as the redundant NVS card; the NVS card on the primary SRP module will
hereafter be referred to as the primary NVS card.)
If the capacity of the primary NVS card is equal to or smaller than that of the
redundant NVS card, the system copies all the files from the primary NVS card to the
redundant NVS card. However, if the capacity of the primary NVS card exceeds that
of the redundant NVS card, the system creates an invisible synchronization reserve
file on the primary NVS card, provided that there is enough space for the file.
The purpose of the synchronization file is to prevent the creation of data that
cannot fit on the redundant NVS card. The file contains no useful data, and
is not visible when you view the files in NVS. The size of the file is equal
to the difference in capacities of the two NVS cards. For example, if the
primary NVS card has a capacity of 224 MB and the redundant NVS card has
a capacity of 220 MB, the size of the synchronization file is 4 MB, and only
220 MB of space is available on the primary NVS card.
If the primary NVS card does not have enough space to create the synchronization
reserve file, the synchronize command fails, and a warning message is displayed
on the console. To resolve this issue, either delete unwanted files from the primary
NVS card or replace the redundant NVS card with a higher-capacity NVS card.

Line Modules
NOTE: This section applies to ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models only. ERX-310 routers
do not offer line module redundancy.

ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models support line module redundancy for several
line modules. For details about which line modules support redundancy,
see the ERX Module Guide. In this scheme, an extra line module in a group

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

of identical line modules provides redundancy in case of line module
failure. To use this feature, you need a:
Spare line module
Redundancy midplane
Redundancy I/O module
A redundancy midplane can cover 3–6 slots. It provides additional connectivity that
enables the spare line module to take control of the I/O module associated with
any failed line module in the redundancy group. The spare I/O module provides
connectivity from the spare line module to the redundancy midplane.
The process by which the system switches to the spare line module is called
switchover . When switchover occurs, the system:
1.

Breaks the connection between the primary I/O module and the primary
line module.

2.

Connects the primary I/O module to the spare line module via the redundancy
midplane and redundancy I/O module.

Protocol processing then takes place on the spare line module.
Figure 12 shows the data flow when a spare line module becomes active.

see “Installing Modules” on page 35. For information about configuring
and managing SRP module redundancy, see JUNOSe System Basics
Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.

Power
All E-series routers provide a power architecture that distributes redundant –48 VDC
feeds through the router to each line module, SRP module, and fan module where
DC-to-DC converters provide local conversion to the required secondary voltages.
The ERX-310 router is available with either DC or AC power inputs. The AC-powered
version can be configured with one or two hot-swappable power supplies for optional
redundancy. (See Figure 5 and Figure 6.) The power supplies convert AC power to
internal –48 V redundant DC feeds that are then distributed through the router.

Redundancy Features

19

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

Fans
Forced air-cooling keeps the temperature of the E-series modules and components
within normal operating limits. In ERX-14xx models, six cooling fans are located
in a tray at the top of the router (Figure 1). In ERX-7xx models, four cooling fans
are located in a tray on one side of the router (Figure 3). In the ERX-310 router,
two cooling fans are located in a tray on one side of the router (Figure 5).
The system monitors the temperature of each module. If the temperature of a
module exceeds the maximum limit, the system immediately goes into thermal
protection mode and the modules are powered off. The ERX system controller
enters a low power mode, keeps the modules in a power-off condition, and does
not respond to any management interface commands. For information about
troubleshooting high operating temperatures, see “Troubleshooting” on page 103.
In ERX-7xx and ERX–14xx models, the fan tray has two redundant converters
that power the fans (for the ERX-14xx models, a –24 V, 50 W converter; for the
ERX-7xx models, a –12 V, 15 W converter). If one converter fails, the other
takes over. The ERX-310 router does not have redundant converters.
For all E-series routers, the system software reports an alarm if any
of the fans or converters fail.

sections:
Before You Begin on page 27
Freestanding Installation on page 27
Rack-Mounted Installation on page 28
The Next Step on page 33

Before You Begin
Before installing E-series routers, be sure you:
Have a plan for installing the routers that takes into consideration future
expansion of your system.
Have the tools and accessories needed to complete the installation.
Read and understand the clearance requirements for the front and back of
the chassis for cable routing and other unit access. See “Environmental
Requirements” on page 130 for more information.
Read and understand the clearance requirements for the chassis to ensure
adequate ventilation.
Prepare the equipment racks by measuring and marking space for each
router and plenum you plan to install.

Freestanding Installation
When installing the system on a table top or in any other freestanding mode,
be sure to leave enough space around the system for adequate ventilation.
Position the router with easy access to the connections that it needs for power,
local communications, and remote communications.
See “Installation Guidelines and Requirements” on page 129, and “System
Specifications” on page 119, for more information.

Freestanding Installation

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

WARNING: Two people are required to lift an E-series router.

CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic damage to the system and its components, make
sure persons handling the router wear an antistatic device.

Connectors are located on the I/O modules and the power input module. These
modules are installed from the rear of the router. (See Figure 14.) See “Cabling
ERX Routers” on page 53 for cabling installation procedures.

Rack-Mounted Installation
We recommend that you use a standard EIA distribution rack. See “Equipment
Rack Requirements” on page 133 for detailed rack information.

Installation Guidelines
Before installing the systems in a rack, consider the following
guidelines and refer to Figure 15:
You can install up to 3 ERX-14xx models, 6 ERX-7xx models, or 14 ERX-310
routers in a single 7-ft. (2.1 m) rack.
Installing multiple systems in a single rack enables you to maximize your
available space.

28

Rack-Mounted Installation

Installing ERX Routers

You can install an ERX-14xx model, an ERX-7xx model, and an ERX-310
router together in the same rack. (See Figure 15.)

CAUTION: If you install an ERX-7xx model or ERX-310 router directly above an
ERX-14xx model in the same rack, you must install a plenum between the ERX-7xx
model or ERX-310 router and the ERX-14xx model so that the air can circulate
between the systems. (See Figure 51.) This plenum is available from Juniper
Networks.

If you install an ERX-14xx model above an ERX-7xx model or ERX-310 router,
there is no need to install a plenum between the units because the ERX-7xx
models and ERX-310 routers vent air out the side of the chassis.
Install heavier systems, such as an ERX-14xx model, on the bottom of the
rack. Mount lighter systems, such as the ERX-310 router, higher in the rack.

Safety Guidelines
Observe the following safety guidelines when mounting the router in a rack.

WARNING: Install equipment in the rack from the bottom upward. This helps to
maintain the stability of the rack and reduces the chance of the rack tipping over.

WARNING: Three people are required to install the router in a rack: two to lift the
system into position and one to screw it to the rack.

Rack-Mounted Installation

Installing ERX Routers

CAUTION: Evaluate the overall loading of the branch circuit before you install
any equipment into a rack.

WARNING: Connect the router or rack to ground (earth), and ensure that a reliable
grounding path is maintained in the rack.

WARNING: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during
lightning activity.

WARNING: Be sure circuit breakers for the power source are in the OFF position
before attaching power cables.

WARNING: Before servicing the router, turn off the power.

WARNING: Remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before
working on equipment that is connected to power lines. Metal objects heat up
when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or become
welded to the terminals.

WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, into an open slot
or the backplane. Doing so can cause electric shock and serious burns.

WARNING: The ERX-310 router AC model has more than one power-supply cord.
Disconnect two power cords before servicing to avoid electric shock.

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

Preparing the Equipment Racks
Following your installation plan, use a tape measure and marking pen to measure
and mark space on each equipment rack for each router component. For horizontal
spacing, follow Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements. If you
choose not to install a plenum, be sure to include 2 U of space between each
chassis for proper exhaust. A plenum, however, is highly recommended.

Installing the Router
To complete the installation of the router in a rack, you need:
A Phillips screwdriver
Depending on the router, up to eight 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws (provided with
the router) for each router to be installed

WARNING: Three people are required to install the router in a rack: two to lift the
system into position and one to screw it to the rack.

CAUTION: Make sure all persons handling a router wear an antistatic device.

To install the router in the rack:
1.

With one person standing on the left side of the router and another standing
on the right side, lift the router into the rack.

2.

Position the router in its designated location in the equipment rack. Make
sure the holes of the mounting brackets align evenly with the holes of the
equipment rack on both sides.

3.

Starting at the bottom, have the third person secure the router in the
equipment rack by using the 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws.

4.

Connect the necessary cables. (See “Cabling ERX Routers” on page 53 for
instructions on installing the cables.)

Slot Groups
The slots in the ERX-1410 router and ERX-7xx models are divided into groups. The
number of groups and number of slots per group depend on the system.
There are no slot groups in the ERX-1440 router or the ERX-310 router.
In the ERX-310 router, slot 0 contains the SRP module and slots 1
and 2 each contain a line module.

Slot Groups for the ERX-1410 Router
A slot group in the ERX-1410 router comprises three adjacent chassis slots. The
groups for the ERX-1410 router consist of the following slots (Figure 17):
Slot group 1—Slots 0 through 2
Slot group 2—Slots 3 through 5
Slot group 3—Slots 8 through 10
Slot group 4—Slots 11 through 13

Combinations of Line Modules In Slot Groups
For information about combinations of line modules in slot groups, see JUNOSe
System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.

OC48 Line Modules
The ERX-1440 router with the SRP-40G+ SRP module supports OC48 line
modules. Other ERX routers do not support OC48 line modules.
An OC48 line module spans two slots in an ERX-1440 router. You can
install this line module only in slots 2–3 and slots 4–5. Other slots in
the system do not support this line module.
The corresponding OC48 Frame APS I/O module spans only one slot. Install the I/O
module in the lower of the slots (either slot 2 or slot 4) that the line module spans.

GE-2 Line Modules
The ERX-1440 router with the SRP-40G+ SRP module supports GE-2 line
modules in all slots; however, full bandwidth is delivered only when the line
module is in slot 2 or slot 4. The line module can be used with other SRP
modules, but maximum line performance will not be achieved.
The ERX-310 router with the SRP-SE10G SRP module supports GE-2 line modules in
both slots (1 and 2). Maximum line performance is achieved in either slot.
Other ERX routers do not support GE-2 line modules.

Managing Modules Using the Software
For information about software procedures associated with replacing
and managing modules, see JUNOSe System Basics Configuration
Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.

Hot-Swapping Modules
All ERX routers support hot-swapping of modules. Hot-swapping enables you
to add or remove a module without powering down the system.

Protecting Modules and Slots
Each ERX chassis has an ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding jack. See
Table 4 for locations. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, connect
an antistatic wrist strap to the jack when handling components.

CAUTION: Always handle the module by its edges. Do not touch the components,
pins, leads, or solder connections.

Overview

39

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

CAUTION: If you meet strong resistance when attempting to seat the module using
the ejectors, remove it from the chassis and confirm that the slot is designed to hold
the module. Then verify, if applicable, that the module matches its corresponding
module (I/O module or line module). Also, be sure that you have aligned the top
and bottom edges in the correct matching tracks.

CAUTION: Be sure to cover every empty slot with a blank filler panel to protect the
system from dust or other foreign substances and to ensure proper system cooling.

CAUTION: Do not discard the antistatic bag. When a module is not in use, store it
in an antistatic bag.

Order of Installation
Before you attempt to install or replace a line module (inserted in the front of
the chassis), make sure the corresponding I/O module (inserted in the rear of
the chassis) is already in place. The slot diagnostics run when a line module
is installed in a chassis slot. If the corresponding I/O module is not present, the
diagnostics fail, and you need to remove and reinsert the module.

Required Tools and Safety Items
You need the following tools to install a line module:
A Phillips screwdriver
An ESD wrist strap

Safety Guidelines
Before and during the installation process, observe the following precautions:

WARNING: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during

Installing Components for Line Module Redundancy
A spare line module provides redundancy for a group of identical line
modules for ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models only.
NOTE: The ERX-310 router does not support line module redundancy.

For line module redundancy to operate, you must install:
The line modules, including the spare line module
The redundancy midplane
The I/O modules, including the spare I/O module
For more information, see “Redundancy Features” on page 16.

WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your hand
into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove jewelry (including
rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is connected to
power lines. These actions can prevent electric shock and serious burns.

CAUTION: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the
router’s ESD grounding jack, and hold modules by their edges. Do not touch the
components, pins, leads, or solder connections. These actions help to protect
modules from damage by electrostatic discharge.

Installing the Line Modules
To install the line modules in a redundancy group:
1.

Install the spare line module in the lowest-numbered slot of the redundancy
group.

2.

Install the other line modules in the remaining slots. (See “Installing Line and
I/O Modules” on page 44.)

Required Tools, Wires, and Cables
Cabling your system takes only a few minutes. You need the following
items and those listed in Table 7 for proper installation:
1/8–inch flathead screwdriver
3/8–inch wrench or 3/8–inch nut-driver
No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
Ground wires—We recommend a minimum of 10-AWG ground wire.
#10 (ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models) or #8 (ERX-310 router) kep nut to
connect the ground (earth) wire to the ground terminal.
Power input module wiring—We recommend a minimum of 8-AWG wire for
ERX-14xx models, 12-AWG wire for ERX-7xx models, and 14-AWG wire for
ERX-310 routers (DC model) with a dual stud terminal lug with 5/8–inch
spacing. For the ERX-310 router AC model, use a standard IEC power cord.
Consider the distance from the connection point and the configuration of the
system when determining the size of wire used.
See “System Specifications” on page 119 for more information on router
specifications.

Required Tools, Wires, and Cables

55

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

Cabling the SRP I/O Module
Before powering up the router, you must set up a management console. The
console enables you to communicate with your system during the power-up process
and to manage your system using the command-line interface (CLI).
When connecting a console directly to the SRP I/O module, use a cable appropriate
for your terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9 connector to attach
to the RS-232 port on the SRP I/O module. See Figure 24 and Figure 25.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface
(DTE). Direct connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE
interfaces) requires a crossover cable.
NOTE: The alarm function on the SRP I/O module is currently not implemented.

Only ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models have external timing ports and alarm leads
located on the SRP I/O module. All ERX routers have console ports located on
the SRP I/O module. See Table 8 for details on each component.

Cabling the SRP I/O Module

Cabling ERX Routers

The SRP I/O module has two input ports for external clock sources.
These ports provide a way to ensure that the router system clock remains
synchronized with the network’s system clock. The primary clock is labeled
A; the secondary, redundant clock is labeled B.
Use the connectors appropriate for your locale (European or
North American standard):
European—Two 75-ohm E1 2.048-Mbps inputs with BNC connectors
North American—Two 100-ohm T1 inputs with three pin wire-wrap
connectors. Pins are labeled T (tip), G (ground), and R (ring). We recommend
using 26-AWG wire minimum.
NOTE: Use shielded cables to connect the external clock sources to the clock
source input ports.

Management Ports
NOTE: This section applies to all ERX routers.

The Console section of the SRP I/O module has two ports for management
access. (See Figure 24 and Figure 25.)
The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 (male) connector, providing
an out-of-band connection for LAN access through a Telnet session or SNMP.
The RS-232 port accepts a DB-9 (female) connector for direct CLI access
from a console terminal.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface (DTE).
Direct connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE interfaces) requires
a crossover cable.

on the SRP I/O module until it clicks into place.

2.

Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for
an out-of-band connection.

Connecting to a Console Terminal
When you connect a console directly to the router SRP I/O module, use a cable
appropriate for your terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9
connector to attach to the RS-232 port on the SRP I/O module.
To connect the console to the SRP I/O module:
1.

Insert the female DB-9 connector into the RS-232 port, and tighten the screws.

2.

Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal’s serial port (VT100/ANSI).

Cabling the Router for Power
After you have correctly cabled the modules and I/O modules, you
must attach grounding and electrical wires before you attempt system
power-up. Three main tasks are involved:
1.

Switch all router power switches to OFF.

CAUTION: Switches may have inadvertently flipped to ON during shipping and
installation.

2.

Connect the grounding wires to the chassis.

WARNING: Always connect the grounding wires first (before connecting the power
cables) and disconnect them last when installing or servicing the router.

3.

Connect the power cables (AC or DC) to the power input modules.

See “System Specifications” on page 119 for the power requirements for ERX
routers. Table 9 identifies the power input module cabling requirements, and

with SC connectors are defined as follows:
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.

WARNING: Do not look directly into SC-style fiber connectors. The fiber-optic laser
used in single-mode fiber (SMF) meets the regulatory requirements for casual
exposure to the eye; however, looking directly into a laser can cause eye damage.

WARNING: IEC 825, Class 1 laser fiber connectors are for connection only to
Class 1 laser devices.

SC duplex connectors have the same basic shape as LC duplex connectors,
but are slightly larger. See Figure 33.

Powering Up
For specifications on the electrical requirements for the system, see “System
Specifications” on page 119. For details on the power consumed by the
different ERX modules, see the ERX Module Guide.

Powering Up

73

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

NOTE: In this procedure, we assume that the system is already connected to a
power source. See “Cabling ERX Routers” on page 53.

CAUTION: Evaluate the overall loading of the branch circuit before you install
any equipment into a rack.

To power up the system:
1.

Verify that the power source is operational and turned on.

2.

Inspect all grounding and power connections to the router chassis.

3.

Confirm that all connections are secure.

4.

Switch the power switches to ON.

5.

Monitor the LEDs on the front of the SRP modules to verify that the system
is booting properly. See Table 12 in “Troubleshooting” on page 103 for LED
status explanations.
When the prompt appears on the system console, the system is in User Exec
mode and is ready to be configured:
host1>

6.

Enter the enable command to access Privileged Exec mode:
host1>enable
host1#

In Privileged Exec mode you can begin to configure the system. See JUNOSe
System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-Line Interface for
more information.

Initialization Sequence
Each line module is initialized independently. As a result, the CLI on the SRP
module can become available before the line modules have completed initialization.
Commands relating to a line module might fail if the module has not completed
initialization. You can use the show version command to display line module
status. Do not enter commands for a line module until its state is listed as online.

74

Powering Up

Powering Up ERX Routers

Status LEDs
Upon initial power-up, the components of the router run boot code, go through
a series of self diagnostic tests, and synchronize with each other.
When the tests are complete, use the LEDs on each module to determine the
status of the router. Observe the line module and SRP module LEDs in the front,
and the I/O line module and SRP I/O module LEDs in the rear.
See “Troubleshooting” on page 103 for information on the system’s LEDs.

Powering Down
If you need to power down or remove the SRP module, first enter the halt
command to temporarily suspend the system’s operation. See JUNOSe System
Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, Managing the System for more information.

CAUTION: If you do not use the halt command before removing or powering down
an SRP module, the system’s NVS card might become corrupted.

If you shut down the system improperly, it runs an investigation of the
file allocation table (FAT) the next time it reboots.

The Next Step
If you have problems powering up the system, see “Troubleshooting”
on page 103 for help.
If the system boots properly, see “Accessing ERX Routers” on page 77.

Accessing ERX Routers
This chapter discusses how to access the system to manage it. Managing your
router includes both configuring and monitoring it. For basic information on
the management of the system, see JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide,
Chapter 5, Managing the System.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Setting Up Management Access on page 77
Console Port Setup on page 78
Telnet Setup on page 80
SNMP on page 82
The Next Step on page 82

Setting Up Management Access
Before you power up the system, you must set up a management console.
(See “Connecting to a Console Terminal” on page 60.) You use the console to
communicate with the system during the power-up process, set an IP address,
and manage the system using the command-line interface (CLI).
You can manage and monitor the router through either of these methods:
Console terminal—Connect a console (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation)
directly to the system’s RS-232 serial port.
Remote console—Connect the 10/100Base-T port on the SRP I/O module to an
Ethernet network, and run Telnet from a remote console.
For initial access to the system, you need to physically connect your console
directly to the system’s RS-232 port. Through this connection you can use the
CLI to set an IP address on the system. After you configure the IP address,
you can access the system remotely (for example, via Telnet).

Setting Up Management Access

77

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

Console Port Setup
You can connect a console terminal (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) directly
to the SRP I/O module via the RS-232 terminal port. When you connect a console
directly to the system, you can configure the system without an IP address.
To communicate with the system, you must have a terminal emulation program
running on your PC or Macintosh. You can use any terminal emulation program,
such as HyperTerminal. A UNIX workstation can use the emulator TIP.

Using HyperTerminal
If your console uses a version of Microsoft Windows (such as Windows 95
or Windows NT 4.0) that supports the HyperTerminal application, you
can access the system via HyperTerminal.
1.

Click the Start button and select Programs, Accessories, and HyperTerminal.

2.

In the HyperTerminal window, select HyperTerminal.

3.

In the Connection Description window, enter a name for your router (for
example, erx1400) in the Name field.

4.

Select any icon to represent your terminal emulation, and click OK.

5.

In the Connect To dialog box, in the Connect using field, select the appropriate
COM port to use (for example, COM1), and click OK.

6.

In the COM1 Properties window, select the following settings:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: Xon/Xoff

7.

Click OK.

Connecting Directly to the Router
When you connect a console directly to the system, use a cable appropriate
for your terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9 connector
to attach to the RS-232 port on the system.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface
(DTE). Direct connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE
interfaces) requires a crossover cable.

78

Console Port Setup

Accessing ERX Routers

To connect a console directly to the system:
1.

Connect the female DB-9 connector to the RS-232 port on the system’s SRP
I/O module. See Figure 36.

Figure 36: Management Ports for ERX Routers

2.

Connect the crossover adapter connector to your PC’s serial port.

3.

Power up the system.
When you power up the system, the CLI appears on your console’s screen.
The system is now in User Exec mode, and you can begin configuration. For
more information on using the CLI and configuring the system, see the JUNOSe
System Basics Configuration Guide.

NOTE: Direct access through the RS-232 serial port enables you to monitor the
system while it boots.

Console Port Setup

79

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

Assigning an IP Address
When your console is ready to communicate with the system, power up the system.
(See “Powering Up ERX Routers” on page 73.) Then set an IP address for the
system. The system powers up in User Exec mode. To assign an IP address:
1.

Enter the enable command at the User Exec prompt.
host1>enable
host1#

The system is now in Privileged Exec mode.
2.

Set an IP address on the Ethernet interface:
Substitute the slot number where the SRP module is located for the
slotnumber variable. For redundant SRP modules, specify the lowest slot
number of the two (for example 0/0 or 6/0 ).
Use an IP address valid for the system.
host1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#interface FastEthernet slotnumber /0
host1(config-if)#ip address 10.10.7.3 255.255.255.0

3.

Continue to configure the system’s parameters as needed.

After you have assigned an IP address to the system, you can communicate remotely
by running Telnet over an Ethernet network. See “Telnet Setup” on page 80.

Telnet Setup
After you have configured an IP address for the system, you can run
Telnet from a host to access the system through its Ethernet port. To
connect the Ethernet port to the network:
1.

Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to the system’s 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port on
the SRP I/O module.

2.

Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for
an out-of-band connection.

Before you can access the system with Telnet, you must either configure a password
for Telnet access or disable the password requirement from the management
console. In the following example, you disable the password.
1.

Enter the enable command.
host1>enable
host1#

The system is now in Privileged Exec mode.

80

host1(config)#

The system is now in Global Configuration mode.
3.

Enter the line command.
host1(config)#line vty 0 4
host1(config-line)#

The system is now in Line Configuration mode.
4.

Disable the password.
host1(config-line)#no login

NOTE: In this example, you disabled the password requirement, but you can choose
to set a password instead. See JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 8,
Passwords and Security for information on setting a password.

5.

Run Telnet from a host on the same Ethernet network as the system.

6.

Enter the IP address of the system to open the Telnet session.
The User Exec prompt appears when the Telnet session to the system is
established.
host1>

7.

Enter the enable command.
host1>enable
host1#

The system is now in Privileged Exec mode.
8.

Enter the configure command.
host1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#

The system is now in Global Configuration mode, from which you can
configure the system. See JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2,
Command-Line Interface.

81

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

CAUTION: Do not change the IP address for the Ethernet interface that you are
using to communicate with the system. If you change the address, you will lose the
Telnet session.

SNMP
The system supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
a standard management protocol for IP networks. You can configure
the system as an SNMP agent.
As an SNMP agent, the system provides access to management information
that it maintains. See JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 4,
Configuring SNMP for information on SNMP. See JUNOSe Command Reference
Guide A to M and JUNOSe Command Reference Guide N to Z for the commands
that are available for configuring the system as an SNMP agent.

Required Tools and Items

85

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

Storing Modules and Components
Retain the packaging in which a module or component was shipped, and use this
packaging to store the item. Modules are shipped in antistatic bags and protective
packaging. Components, such as transceivers and nonvolatile storage (NVS) cards,
are shipped in antistatic plastic containers within an antistatic padded box.

CAUTION: Failure to store electronic modules and components correctly can
lead to damage of these items.

Follow these guidelines for storing modules and components:
Store each module in a separate antistatic bag.
Store components in an antistatic plastic container. Some of these containers
can accommodate several components in separate compartments.
Do not store multiple modules or components in an antistatic bag or container
where they can touch other items.
(Optional) Store the item in its antistatic bag or container within the protective
packaging or padded box that the item was shipped in.

Cleaning the System
Dust is attracted to the side of the system on which the air intake vent is located.
Clean this side of the system with a dry cloth every few weeks to prevent
excessive accumulation of dust. This cleaning helps to maintain the efficiency of
the cooling system and prevent damage to electronic components.

WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your
hand into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is
connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric shock and serious burns.

CAUTION: When cleaning the system, wear an antistatic wrist strap connected
to the system’s ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect modules from
damage by electrostatic discharge.

Upgrading from Release 5.1.1 or Lower-Numbered Releases to Release 6.x.x
or Higher-Numbered Releases
Release 5.1.1 or lower-numbered releases support application images only up to
172 MB. To install larger application images for Release 6.0.0 and higher-numbered
releases, you must first install Release 5.1.2 (or a higher-numbered 5.x.x release).
This enables the system to support application images greater than 172 MB. For
example, you cannot go from Release 5.1.1 to Release 7.2.0 without first upgrading
to Release 5.1.2. See the following table for compatibility of releases.

Your software upgrades may be available remotely through Telnet or FTP, or may
be delivered on a new NVS card. Depending on how you access the software
updates, there are two different procedures to follow. For more detailed information
on installing software, and about NVS cards and SRP modules, see:
JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules
“Upgrading NVS Cards on SRP Modules” on page 87

Upgrading NVS Cards on SRP Modules
This section describes how to install higher-capacity NVS cards on SRP modules.
The procedure you use depends on the number of SRP modules in the system.
A new NVS card already contains the software release you ordered.
NOTE: The new NVS card must contain the same software release that you are
running on the system.

Upgrading a System That Contains One SRP Module
If the system contains only one SRP module, you must power down the
system before you upgrade the NVS card.

Upgrading Memory on SRP Modules
This section describes how to upgrade memory on SRP modules. JUNOSe
software releases 3.0.x and higher require at least 512 MB of memory on
each SRP module, while releases 5.3.x and higher require at least 1 GB of
memory. See the ERX Module Guide for more information.
NOTE: The ERX-310 SRP module contains two small outline dual inline memory
module (SODIMM) banks that use 256-MB memory, and currently is not
upgradeable.

90

Upgrading Memory on SRP Modules

Maintaining ERX Routers

Four main steps are involved in upgrading memory on SRP modules:
1.

Display how much memory is currently installed on the SRP module.

2.

Remove the SRP module and the SODIMMs.

3.

Add the new SODIMMs to the SRP module.

4.

Reinstall the SRP module and verify the upgrade.

See the following sections for information on each step.

WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your
hand into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is
connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric shock and serious burns.

CAUTION: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the
router’s ESD grounding jack, and hold modules by their edges. Do not touch the
components, pins, leads, or solder connections. These actions help to protect
modules from damage by electrostatic discharge.

Displaying the Memory Installed
Before you install the new memory, issue the show hardware command
to see how much memory is installed. Each ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx
model SRP module usually has at least 256 MB of memory. You need one
upgrade kit for each SRP module in the system.
Depending on the upgrade you are performing, the kit contains a
specific number of SODIMMs.

Removing SODIMMs
After removing the SRP module from the router, you might have to remove
lower-memory SODIMMs to upgrade to a higher-capacity SRP module. The
SODIMM sockets are close to the NVS card and have a cream-colored ceramic
connector at one edge. Some or all of the sockets might already contain SODIMMs.
1.

Push down on the back edge of a SODIMM to release it from the socket.
(See Figure 38.)

2.

Gently pull the SODIMM up and out to disconnect it from the connectors and
remove it from the socket.

SODIMM aligns with the notch in the connector.
The notch on the long gold edge is no longer visible when the SODIMM
is pressed in far enough.

3.

Press the top surface downward into the socket until the socket spring snaps
into place and holds it.

4.

Repeat Steps 2–3 with the other SODIMM.

5.

Repeat Steps 1–4 for the other SRP module, if present.

Verifying the Upgrade
To verify that the upgrade is complete:
1.

Place the SRP modules in the chassis.
The SRP modules reboot.

2.

Close the ejector handles and tighten the thumbscrews.

3.

Issue the show hardware command, and verify that the display indicates that
the correct amount of memory is present.

Replacing SFPs on I/O Modules
This section describes how to replace small form-factor pluggable transceivers
(SFPs) on modules that support these devices. A range of SFPs that support
different optical modes (multimode and single mode) and cabling distances
is available. You can replace the SFPs without disabling the interfaces
or removing the module from the system.

WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your
hand into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is
connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric shock and serious burns.

CAUTION: When handling electronic components, use an antistatic wrist strap
connected to the system’s ESD grounding jack, and hold components by their
edges. Do not touch, pins, leads, or solder connections. Store components in

antistatic bags. These actions help to protect modules from damage by electrostatic
discharge.

Removing SFPs
To remove the SFPs:
1.

Obtain an antistatic container for the SFPs you plan to remove. (See “Storing
Modules and Components” on page 86.)

2.

Put the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, and connect the strap to the
ESD grounding jack on the system.

3.

Disconnect the cables from one of the SFPs on the module.

CAUTION: For port redundancy to operate correctly, both the primary and
redundant ports on a GE I/O module must use the same type of SFP.

Installing SFPs
To install SFPs:
1.

Put the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, and connect the strap to the
ESD grounding jack on your system.

2.

Identify the following items on the SFP, as shown in Figure 41:
The connection circuitry on the base
The cable connectors on the front
The cable connectors are protected by a dust cover.

Figure 41: Example of SFP

Cable connectors

CAUTION: Be sure to position the SFP correctly before you install it.

3.

Hold the SFP so that:
The connection circuitry is adjacent to the TX and RX markings on
the module’s faceplate.
The front will be visible when you install the SFP.
For the correct orientation, see Figure 42.

4.

Insert the SFP into the I/O module until it clicks into place.
If the SFP does not slide smoothly into the I/O module, make sure that the
orientation of the SFP is correct.

5.

Gently pull the SFP to confirm that it is inserted correctly.
If the SFP comes out of the slot when you pull it, repeat Step 4.

6.

Remove the dust cover that protects the ports.

7.

Connect the new cables to the SFP.

If you are using the redundant port on the GE I/O module, repeat
Steps 2–7 for the other port.

Verifying the Installation
After you have replaced the SFPs and connected the cables, issue the
show interface gigabitEthernet command for each interface to make
sure that the interface is operational (up).
Field descriptions
gigabitEthernet interfaceSpecifier —Status of the hardware on this
interface
Up—Hardware is operational
Down—Hardware is not operational
Administrative status—Operational state that you configured for this

Replacing Fan Trays
A tray of cooling fans provides forced air cooling for components in the ERX routers.
The fan trays are hot-swappable; you can replace them without powering down
the system. However, if you do not replace the fan tray within approximately 2
minutes, the system enters thermal protection mode. For information about
thermal protection mode, see “Monitoring Temperatures of Modules” on page 113.
You can monitor fan status by observing the LEDs on the SRP module or
on the fan tray behind the faceplate. For complete LED information, see
“Understanding Status LEDs to Troubleshoot” on page 104.
NOTE: On the SRP module, when the LED alternates between OK and FAIL in
10–second intervals, a non-critical fan failure exists. Noncritical warnings are not
indicated on the fan tray LEDs; if the red FAN FAIL LED is illuminated, either a
critical or non-critical failure exists.

CAUTION: If the red FAN FAIL LED on the SRP module is illuminated and none
of the fans are spinning when you remove the fan tray, power down the system

Replacing Fan Trays

97

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

until a new fan tray is available. Operating an ERX router with inadequate air
circulation can damage the modules.

CAUTION: Do not use the fan tray handle to carry the fan tray assembly. Use the
handle only to pull the tray out of the chassis.

(ERX-14xx models only) Place a flathead screwdriver in the groove where
the top bezel meets the chassis on the top of the system, and lever the top
bezel off the front of the system.

2.

With an appropriate screwdriver, loosen the captive screws located at the
corners of the fan tray.

WARNING: Do not place your fingers near the fans when removing the fan tray.
The blades might still be moving.

3.

Pull the fan tray halfway out of the shelf.

WARNING: Slowly slide the fan tray out of the chassis. The tray does not have stops
to prevent it from sliding all the way out.

4.

Pull the tray out of the chassis.

CAUTION: Do not use the fan tray handle to carry the fan tray assembly. Use the
handle only to push the tray into the chassis.

1.

Hold the tray horizontally (ERX-14xx models) or vertically (ERX-7xx models
and ERX-310 routers) or so that the captive screws point toward you and you
can read text on the labels.

2.

Place the bottom corners of the tray housing in the plastic shelf guides of the
fan tray compartment; push toward the back of the chassis halfway, and stop.

3.

Push the fan tray toward the back of the shelf until it stops.
An electrical connector on the back of the fan tray pairs with an electrical
connector at the back of the shelf.

4.

With an appropriate screwdriver, tighten the captive screws.
Alternate between screws when tightening them to ensure that the electrical
connectors at the back of the tray fit tightly.

5.

(ERX-14xx model only) Push the top bezel back on the front of the system.

Installing a Cable-Management Bracket on ERX-7xx Models
You can install a cable-management bracket to accommodate cables of
different sizes on ERX-7xx models. See Figure 46.
For wider X.21/V.35 cables, mount the bracket in the last row of perforation
holes in the chassis so that the bracket allows for maximum spacing (A).
For smaller cables, mount the bracket closer to the front of the chassis (B).
Use two (2) #10 self-tapping screws to secure the bracket.

Troubleshooting
This chapter explains how you can troubleshoot a specific problem, such as
abnormal LED activity or no system power, when you power up the router. It
contains the following sections:
Diagnosing Problems on page 103
Troubleshooting Power Failures on page 104
Understanding Status LEDs to Troubleshoot on page 104
Monitoring Temperatures of Modules on page 113
Resetting Line Modules and SRP Modules on page 114
Double-Bit Errors on SRP Modules on page 114

Diagnosing Problems
When you first encounter a system problem:
1.

Make sure power connections are securely attached.

2.

Observe the system’s LEDs carefully.

3.

Make sure cable connections on the system modules are securely attached.

If a problem is beyond the scope of this chapter, see “Contacting Customer
Support and Returning Hardware” on page 151 for further instructions.
NOTE: Running the show version and show hardware commands is often a good
first step when trying to troubleshoot a problem.

Initialization Sequence
Each line module is initialized independently. As a result, the command-line
interface (CLI) on the SRP module can become available before the line
modules have completed initialization. Commands relating to a line module

Diagnosing Problems

103

ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide

might fail if the module has not completed initialization. Use the show
version command to display line module status. Do not enter commands
for a line module until its state is listed as online.

Troubleshooting Power Failures
The system’s distributed power system is designed to consume low levels
of power and dissipate low levels of heat. See “System Specifications” on
page 119 for specifications of power consumption and heat dissipation. If
you suspect a power problem, see Table 10.
Table 10: Causes of Power Failures

Understanding Status LEDs to Troubleshoot
Module LEDs can show you the current status of a module and alert you
to a problem with the module or one of its ports. We recommend you

104

Understanding Status LEDs to Troubleshoot

Troubleshooting

familiarize yourself with LED activity so that you can easily detect and correct
a module-related problem with minimal or no system downtime.

LED Identification
The system’s modules have two sets of status LEDs. The top set indicates
overall router and module status. The bottom set indicates module-specific
status, such as port status (line modules) or fan status (SRP module).
The number next to the port status LED on a line module corresponds to the
number of the port on the I/O module. Some line modules have more port
status LEDs than the number of ports on the I/O module. In these cases, only
the LEDs for the corresponding ports on the I/O modules are active.
For example, an OCx/STMx line module can pair with either an OC3-4 or
an OC12/STM4 I/O module. Consequently, the line module has four port
status LEDs for OC3/STM1 operation. However, only the top set of port
status LEDs is active during OC12/STM4 operation.
Table 11 presents the functions of the module LEDs and port status LEDs.

NOTE: The primary SRP module illuminates the REDUNDANT LED only when the
SRP module detects a secondary or standby SRP module online. The standby SRP
module monitors an activity signal from the primary SRP module to determine its
state; it does not shadow the operations of the primary SRP module.
If the standby SRP module detects that the primary SRP module is not active (and
high-availability mode is not enabled), it reboots the system and takes control. If
high-availability mode has been enabled, automatic switchover occurs with near
hitless failover. (ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models only)

Redundancy Status
You can determine the redundancy state of line modules by examining the ONLINE
and REDUNDANT status LEDs (ERX-7xx and ERX-14xx models only). See Table 14.
NOTE: The REDUNDANT LED on the cOCx/STMx, FE-8, GE/FE, HSSI, and

Monitoring Temperatures of Modules
You can view the temperature of each module by issuing the show environment all
and show environment table commands. In addition, the system generates detailed
log messages if the temperature of a module is outside normal operating limits.
For example, if the temperature of any forwarding controller exceeds 212° F
(100° C), a message appears on the console and the event is added to the system
log. If you receive this message, report it to your customer service representative.
If the temperature of any module exceeds the upper temperature limit,
the system immediately goes into thermal protection mode. After the
system has entered thermal protection mode, you must resolve the
cause of the high temperature quickly.

Replace module. (See “Installing
Modules” on page 35.)

When you have resolved the cause of the high temperature, you must
power cycle the system to reset the modules.

Resetting Line Modules and SRP Modules
Two recessed buttons on line modules and SRP modules provide the mechanisms
for resetting. You can use the NMI button to reset the software on the module
and the module reset button to reset the module. See Figure 9.
If a line module fails to respond for an extended time, that module might
have a software problem. You can depress the software reset button with a
paper clip to suspend the current software task. Depending on the situation,
this action might also reset the software on the module.
If depressing the software reset button fails to correct the issue with the line
module, depress the module reset button to reboot the line module.
The buttons work in the same way for the SRP module. Depressing the
module reset button on an SRP module is equivalent to rebooting the
router and causes all the line modules to reboot.

Double-Bit Errors on SRP Modules
SRP modules include error checking and correction (ECC) to protect their
SDRAM. ECC provides error detection of single-bit and double-bit errors and
correction of single-bit errors for the SDRAM as follows:
If ECC detects a single-bit error, it automatically corrects the error, and
operation continues.
If ECC detects a double-bit error, it logs the error, stops the main processor on
the controller, and takes the SRP module offline.

Detecting Double-Bit Errors
The following message appears on the console if ECC detects a double-bit error:

114

Double-Bit Errors on SRP Modules

ECC 1Bit Error Counter = 0x0
*** YOU MUST PERFORM A HARD RESET TO CONTINUE ***
ALERT 05/10/2000 13:10:34 os: PROCESSOR EXCEPTION: 0x200n

If ECC detects a double-bit error in a system that contains a redundant SRP
module, the redundant module becomes active and the system continues
to operate. However, you must still troubleshoot the SRP module with the
double-bit error. When ECC detects a double-bit error in a system that does
not contain a redundant SRP module, you must troubleshoot the SRP module
immediately. See “Fixing Double-Bit Errors” on page 115.

Fixing Double-Bit Errors
To fix a double-bit error:
1.

Remove the second SRP module, if there is one.

2.

Reboot the system with the module reset button on the primary SRP module.
(See Figure 9.)

These actions attempt to correct a transient double-bit error. However, if the
console displays a memory test failure for the SRP module after you reboot,
or if the FAIL LED on the SRP module stays on during rebooting, the SDRAM
is permanently damaged and needs replacing. In this event, call Juniper
Networks Customer Service to arrange for repair.

Avis CS-03 d’Industrie Canada
L’étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada indique que l’appareillage
est certifié, c’est-à-dire qu’il respecte certaines exigences de sécurité et de
fonctionnement visant les réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère ne
garantit pas que l’appareillage fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur. Avant
d’installer l’appareillage, s’assurer qu’il peut être branché aux installations du
service de télécommunications local. L’appareillage doit aussi être raccordé
selon des méthodes acceptées. Le client doit toutefois prendre note qu’une
telle installation n’assure pas un service parfait en tout temps.
Les réparations de l’appareillage certifié devraient être confiées à un
service d’entretien canadien désigné par lefournisseur. En cas de
réparation ou de modification effectuées par l’utilisateur ou de mauvais
fonctionnement del’appareillage, le service de télécommunications peut
demander le débranchment de l’appareillage.
Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs devraient s’assurer que les mises
à la terre des lignes de distribution d’électricité, des lignes téléphoniques et

D.O.C. Explanatory Notes: Equipment Attachment Limitations
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified
equipment. This certification meets certain telecommunication network
protective, operational and safety requirements. The department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the users satisfaction.
Before installing the equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to
be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In
some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone
extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
condition may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs
or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic
water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Notes explicatives du ministère des Communications: limites visant les accessoires
L’étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada indique que l’appareillage
est certifié, c’est-à-dire qu’il respecte certaines exigences de sécurité et de
fonctionnement visant les réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère ne garantit
pas que l’appareillage fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer l’appareillage, s’assurer qu’il peut être branché aux installations
du service de télécommunications local. L’appareillage doit aussi être raccordé
selon des méthodes acceptées. Dans certains cas, le câblage interne du service
de télécommunications utilisé pour une ligne individuelle peut être allongé au
moyen d’un connecteur certifié (prolongateur téléphonique). Le client doit toutefois
prendre note qu’une telle installation n’assure pas un service parfait en tout temps.
Les réparations de l’appareillage certifié devraient être confiées à un
service d’entretien canadien désigné par le fournisseur. En cas de
réparation ou de modification effectuées par l’utilisateur ou de mauvais
fonctionnement de l’appareillage, le service de télécommunications peut
demander le débranchment de l’appareillage.

Cable Pinouts
This appendix lists the cables and connector pinout assignments for the cables used
with the ERX-7xx models and ERX-14xx models. It contains the following sections:
SRP I/O Module on page 143
CT1 and CE1 I/O Modules on page 146

SRP I/O Module
The SRP I/O module provides two management ports. You can connect a
console directly to the RS-232 serial port using a shielded straight-through
cable with a female DB-9 connector on one end and a male DB-25 with a
crossover adapter on the DB-25 end. This port is called the serial port, the
RS-232 port, or the console serial port. Figure 52 shows the location of the
serial port and the sequence of the pins in the RS-232 connector.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface
(DTE). Direct connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE
interfaces) requires a crossover cable.
