Juniper MX204 allow oversubscription?

Mon May 16 17:02:46 UTC 2022

Hi all,
Hoping some Juniper-using folks know:
On the MX204, which comes with 4x100G + 8x10G ports, you can only use 3 of the 4 100G ports if you want to use any of the 10G ports at all.
Supposedly this is to prevent oversubscription on what is a 400G-rated router.  However, I’m perfectly fine with oversubscription with a 400G aggregate throughput cap.
Is there a way to stop the automatic “oh, I’ll disable these other ports for you so you don’t oversubscribe the box” behaviour and let all the front-panel ports be used at once?
