System Description
The C-series platform enables you to easily install, configure, and support Juniper Networks Session and Resource Control-Policy Engine (SRC-PE) software. It provides easy access to troubleshooting information, such as reporting events, logs, and system dumps while providing session resource controller functionality.
There are two C-series platform models: the C2000 model and the C4000 model. Each model is composed of two hard drives, fans, redundant power supplies, two USB ports, a console management port, and four Ethernet ports. The main difference between the two models is the number of service session licenses and concurrent subscribers allowed on each unit.
C-series Platform Models
Two C-series platform models are available:
■C2000
■C4000
Both models use the same software. However, the specific model determines the number of service session licenses and concurrent subscribers allowed on each unit. (See Table 4 on page 4.)
