ERX-700 Series
In the ERX documentation, the term ERX-700 series refers to both the
ERX-705 system and the ERX-700 system. The terms ERX-705 system
and ERX-700 system refer to the specific models.
The ERX-705 system is a compact, high-performance model that
manages low traffic density and uses a 5-Gbps SRP module, the
SRP-5G+ module. The ERX-700 system is a robust, high-density system
with less capacity than the ERX-1400 series. The ERX-700 system uses
either the SRP-10G module or a 5-Gbps SRP module, the SRP-5G
module. (Although the SRP-5G+ module obsoletes the SRP-5G module;
the software continues to support both modules.)
You can configure the ERX-700 series to enable the line modules either
to operate at full line rate performance or to operate at a rate dependent
on the resources available. For information about configuring
performance of line modules, see ERX System Basics Configuration
Guide, Chapter 5, Managing Line Modules and SRP Modules.
