Yeah,<br>
<br>
Routers for the whole Alphabet Soup.<br>
<br>
MX204, MX960 are pretty much headache free. Heck even MX240
could be a good start if you are on a budget.<br>
( Watch for the EoL )<br>
<br>
<br>
Distribution ( MPLS Alphabet Soup without VXLAN/EVPN )<br>
<br>
QFX5100 made us feel like being full time members of the Juniper
QA Team. But once your find ALL the limitation of their chipset,
they won't fail you.<br>
( Chipset limitations are not always handled by the
configuration and rendered ports unusable until the device is
rebooted ... Or make you wonder why the heck it ain't working until
you find some notes in an obscure PR )<br>
<br>
We're going up to 100Gbps (and then 200Gbps) in distribution and
we're feeling good about the QFX being able to handle it.<br>
<br>
PS: EVPN worked well in the Lab, but we're no using in our
"scheme".<br>

We are using MX204's as our internet routers and I want to
replace our ASR's with them to be used as an aggregate circuit
router. With the amount of 10G/40G/100G interface and the price
point we have been happy with them. The big issue was learning
Junos since we are cisco shop</div>

Hi, </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Just out of curiosity, what would you recommend using for
a core router/switch from Juniper?</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
MX208,480,10K</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Datasheets show them all as very nice and powerful devices
(although they do use a lot of rack space and side to side
airflow is painful) but I’m just wondering here what most
people use and how good or bad of an experience you have
with it
