<rant> Even in networks like that there's uses for 1g that won't go away (heck, some amazingly recent infrastructure kit is still 10m only). A box able to have a few 1g ports, even sacrificing some 10g ports is fine, but with a 100g uplink or two would be super handy. Not least of which, having somewhere to plug my laptop in if I need to visit a POP. </rant> The datasheet for the MX204[1] implies that all the ports can be switched to 1g mode, but I think only some can[2]. That's an improvement over when I first heard about the box (when the JNPR folk I was talking to didn't understand why I might want some 100g and 1g ports on the same box) which is great. 1: https://www.juniper.net/assets/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000597-en.pdf specifically the table on page 3. 2: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/port-speed-capability-mx204router.html _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
