and edge, and edge applications, and enables a wide range of business and residential and services, including
high-speed transport and VPN services, next-generation broadband multiplay services, and high-volume
Internet data center internetworking.
The MX2010 chassis provides redundancy and resiliency. All major hardware components including the
power system, the cooling system, the Control Board and the switch fabrics are fully redundant.
The MX2010 router is 34 rack units (U) tall. One router can be installed in an open-frame rack, four-post
