Figure 43: Roung Engine
You must install at least one Roung Engine in the rewall. You can install a second Roung Engine if
both Roung Engines are running Junos OS Release 10.0 or later. A second Roung Engine is required if
you are using the dual chassis cluster control link feature available in Junos OS Release 10.0 and later.
The second Roung Engine does not perform all the funcons of a Roung Engine and does not improve
resiliency or redundancy. The second Roung Engine and the Switch Control Board (SCB) in which it is
installed do not constute a host subsystem. The only funcon of the second Roung Engine is to
enable the hardware infrastructure that enables the chassis cluster control 1 port on the Services
Processing Card (SPC) used for chassis cluster control links. If you install only one Roung Engine in the
rewall, you must install it in the slot in the front panel of SCB0. If you install a second Roung Engine to
use the dual chassis cluster control link feature, you install it in the slot in the front panel of SCB1.
The Roung Engine consists of the following components:
• CPU—Runs Junos OS to maintain the rewall's roung tables and roung protocols. It has a Penum-
class processor.
• DRAM—Provides storage for the roung and forwarding tables and for other Roung Engine
processes.
• USB port—Provides a removable media interface through which you can install Junos OS manually.
Junos supports USB version 1.0.
• Internal ash disk—Provides primary storage for soware images, conguraon les, and microcode.
The disk is a xed compact ash and is inaccessible from outside the rewall.
• Hard disk—Provides secondary storage for log les, memory dumps, and reboong the system if the
internal compact ash disk fails.
• HDD LED—Indicates disk acvity for the hard disk drive.
• Management ports—Each Roung Engine has one 10/100-Mbps Ethernet port for connecng to a
management network, and two asynchronous serial ports—one for connecng to a console and one
for connecng to a modem or other auxiliary device. The interface ports are labeled AUX, CONSOLE,
and ETHERNET.
