Juniper Networks T1600 Benutzerhandbuch

This guide provides an overview and description of the Physical Interface Cards (PICs)
supported by the Juniper Networks T1600 Internet routing node. The PICs are
described alphabetically. Table 1 on page 3 lists the PICs supported by the T1600
Internet routing node by PIC family.
PICs provide the physical connection to various network media types. The PICs are
mounted on Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), which are inserted into a slot in a
routing node. A PIC typically occupies a single slot on an FPC. PICs receive incoming
packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the network. During this
process, each PIC performs framing and high-speed signaling for its media type.
Before transmitting outgoing data packets, the PICs encapsulate the packets received
from the FPCs. Each PIC is equipped with a media-specific ASIC that performs control
functions tailored to the PIC's media type. For complete information about installing
PICs and transceivers, see the PIC and Transceiver Installation Instructions located at
.
Blank PICs resemble other PICs but do not provide any physical connection or activity.
When a slot is not occupied by a PIC, you must insert a blank PIC to fill the empty
slot and ensure proper cooling of the system.
T1600 routing nodes support the Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4 FPCs listed in
Table 2 on page 6. Table 3 on page 7 through Table 11 on page 10 provide PIC/FPC
compatibility matrices for the current PICs for T1600 routing nodes.

and T-series routing platforms, see the M-series and T-series Routing Platform

Combinations of PICs—In most cases, you can install PICs of different media types
on the same FPC as long as the FPC and the routing platform support those PICs.
However, configuration rules might limit certain combinations of PICs on some
platforms. If you have different PIC families on a single FPC and are running JUNOS
6.3 or later, review the configuration rules to plan which PICs to install on the FPCs
for your routing platform. Consult the most recent technical bulletins about
configuration rules for PIC combinations on the Juniper Networks Support site at
Newer JUNOS services for some PICs can require significant Internet Processor ASIC
memory. Ethernet and SONET PICs typically do not use large amounts of memory.
Gigabit Ethernet, ATM2, IQ serial PICs, and Adaptive Services PICs use more. To
conserve memory, you can group PICs in the same family together on the same FPC.
When you upgrade to JUNOS Release 7.5 or later, a warning appears if any
configuration rules affect your PIC combinations. If you continue the installation,
one or more PICs might appear to be online (the LEDs are on), but the JUNOS software
cannot enable them and they cannot pass traffic. As a workaround, you can:
Install a JUNOS release that supports the combination
Install PICs on a different FPC
Remove PICs from the affected FPC
