MX240 5G Universal Routing Platform

Agile and compact router for service provider and enterprise digital transformation.


Unrelenting traffic growth— driven by higher speeds, more subscribers, mobile penetration, cloud adoption, and ubiquitous video consumption—is straining traditional service provider and enterprise networks. To accommodate this reality, Juniper’s Secure Automated Distributed Cloud solution helps service providers react to changing market conditions and accelerate service delivery with world-class products and innovative architectural components. The MX Series is an integral part of this solution. Powered by the Junos OS and programmable Trio/Si5 silicon chipset, MX Series platforms deliver powerful routing, switching, security, and services features that help operators successfully transform their networks—and their businesses—in today’s hyperconnected world.


The SDN-enabled MX240 5G Universal Routing Platform offers high performance, scale, and investment protection for a wide variety of service provider and enterprise applications. Those include business and residential broadband services and high-volume data center internetworking.

At just five rack units (5 U), the MX240 is a compact, modular platform offering up to 3 Tbps of system capacity with the MPC10E, ideal for space-constrained environments. It concurrently supports high-density 10GbE, 40GbE, 100GbE, and 400GbE interfaces, as well as legacy SONET/SDH, ATM, and PDH connectivity. The MX240 also supports Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) capability, sophisticated timing capabilities, Junos Fusion technology, and Juniper's Virtual Chassis technology, which help streamline network design and operation.

The high-performance MX240 is packed with highly scalable routing, switching, security, and service features that enable revenue generating applications, network consolidation, and service convergence. Key features include support for a wide range of Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services and advanced broadband network gateway functions, along with integrated routing, switching, and security services.

Powered by Junos OS and the programmable Juniper Penta silicon, the MX240 is deployed in mission critical service provider and enterprise networks worldwide. It helps network operators digitally transform their networks—and their businesses—to react quickly in rapidly changing market conditions.

Investment-Protecting Scale

Scales through 3 Tbps, with support for 6 400GbE interfaces and 30 100GbE interfaces to ensure investment protection.

SDN Enabled

Seamless integration with standards-based SDN controllers such as the Contrail Cloud Platform makes the MX240 an SDN gateway between physical and virtual network elements.

Space Efficient

Excellent ratio of size to capacity and density brings new efficiency to a variety of applications.

Service Integration

Integrating a wide set of services—including carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT), stateful firewall, and deep packet inspection—addresses a broad range of applications, and enables efficient network and service consolidation.

Built-In Encryption

Powered by Juniper’s best-in-class Juniper Penta silicon, the MX240 has embedded MACsec and IPSec encryption with no sacrifice in performance.
