The Routing and Control Board (RCB) is an integrated board and a single field-replaceable unit (FRU)
that provides Routing Engine and Control Board (CB) functionality. The Routing Engine 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 MX10004 Routing and Control Board (RCB) is responsible for system management in an MX10004
router (see
). The chassis can run with one or two RCBs. The base configuration
ships with one RCB, while a redundant configuration ships with two RCBs. When two RCBs are installed,
one functions as the primary and the second as a backup. If the primary RCB is removed, the backup
becomes the primary if graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is configured.
MX10004 supports the following Routing Engines:
• JNP10K-RE1
