The PTX10008 and PTX10016 host subsystem comprises the Routing and Control Board (RCB). The RCB
is an integrated board and a single FRU that provides Routing Engine (RE) and Control Board (CB)
functionality. The RE performs all route-processing functions, whereas the CB performs chassis control
and management plane functionality. The RCB provides control plane functions. You can install one or
two RCBs on the router. Each RCB functions as a unit.

The PTX10000 Routing and Control Board (RCB) is responsible for system management in a PTX10008
or a PTX10016 router (see Figure 37 on page 79). The chassis can run with one or two RCBs. The base
configurations ship with one RCB that can be expanded with a second RCB for a fully-redundant system.
When two RCBs are installed, one functions as the master and the second as a backup. If the master RCB
is removed, the backup becomes the master if GRES is configured.
PTX10008 and PTX10016 routers support the following Routing Engines:
•
JNP10K-RE0
•
JNP10K-RE1
