HPE Juniper MX-MPC2-3D 120 Gbps module
The HPE Juniper MX-MPC2-3D is a Modular Port Concentrator expansion module for MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers. It delivers up to 120 Gbps of Layer 3 routing and Layer 2 switching performance per slot. The module supports flexible 1GbE and 10GbE interface configurations for service-specific deployments. Designed for advanced Ethernet services edge and broadband edge networks.
Suits network engineers scaling MX Series routers
This module suits operators who need high-density port concentration with inline services and hierarchical QoS on Juniper MX platforms. It fits environments requiring pay-as-you-grow interface mixing for evolving service demands. Buyers using non-MX chassis or requiring different forwarding capacities should verify platform compatibility. The module targets specific Juniper routing architectures only.
Confirm MX Series slot availability
Check that your MX Series router has an available MPC slot supporting this line module generation. Verify the installed Junos OS release supports the MPC2 feature set and 120 Gbps forwarding capacity. Ensure power budget and thermal capacity align with the additional module load. Review interface licensing requirements for intended 1GbE or 10GbE port usage.

Questions about this item
Which Juniper MX Series router slot accepts this MPC2 module?
The MX-MPC2-3D installs in any available MPC slot on a compatible Juniper MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router.
Can I keep my existing MIC cards when adding this 120 Gbps module?
Yes, this Modular Port Concentrator houses the packet forwarding engines while MIC cards provide the physical interfaces, so they work together.
How do I verify the module is forwarding at 120 Gbps after installation?
Check the router CLI for the MPC2 status showing online, then monitor interface counters and traffic statistics to confirm line-rate forwarding.
