T Series Multichassis System
Juniper Networks TX Matrix Plus is the central switching and
routing element that interconnects multiple line-card chassis (LCC)
to build a multichassis T Series system. With enhanced Switch
Interface Boards (SIBs), the TX Matrix Plus can interconnect 4
T4000s or 8 T1600s or a hybrid configuration of T4000 and T1600
LCC (see Figure 2). Table 2 lists the different combinations of TX
Matrix Plus systems.
TX Matrix Plus systems deployed with the SIB-TXP-F13/SIB-
TXP-F2s can be upgraded in-service to the enhanced SIBs (SIB-
TXP-3D-F13 and SIB-TXP-3D-F2S) to build the higher capacity
multichassis systems

. This upgrade enables customers to more
than double the system scale depending on the mix of T1600 and
T4000 LCCs in the multichassis. See Figure 2 for all of the different
multichassis TX Matrix Plus configurations. The result is increased
system capacity and scale with carrier-class reliability that delivers
non-blocking bandwidth and port density expansion options to
address the growing bandwidth and service needs.
