Juniper Networks S-SFW-NAT-5 5-Meter Sfw/nat Sessions MX-Series Requires MS-DPC Chassis Based

Overview
The Juniper Networks S-SFW-NAT-5 is a high-performance 5-meter session firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation) module designed for MX-Series routers. It provides robust security and address translation capabilities while maintaining the low latency required for carrier and enterprise edge deployments. This module is compatible only with chassis that support the MS-DPC (Modular Services - Distributed Processing Card) architecture, ensuring seamless integration with existing MX platforms.

Key Features

• Supports up to 5 million concurrent firewall and NAT sessions per meter
• Integrated with Junos OS for unified policy management
• Hardware acceleration for stateful inspection and NAT processing
• Low power consumption and compact form factor for space-constrained chassis
• Scalable design that can be combined with additional S-SFW-NAT modules for higher capacity
• Full compatibility with MX-Series routing features such as MPLS, BGP, and OSPF

Technical Specifications

• Model/Part Number: S-SFW-NAT-5
• Supported chassis: MS-DPC based MX-Series routers
• Maximum concurrent sessions: 5,000,000 per meter
• Throughput: up to 10 Gbps per meter (depending on configuration)
• Power draw: less than 150 W
• Operating temperature: 0 to 40 deg C
• Dimensions: 1U height, standard rack mount
• Interface: Integrated with router line cards, no external ports required

Applications

• Service provider edge routers that need high-density firewall and NAT capabilities
• Enterprise data center interconnects where secure address translation is critical
• Branch office aggregation points requiring scalable session handling
• Any MX-Series deployment that demands low latency security processing without sacrificing throughput

By choosing the Juniper S-SFW-NAT-5, operators gain a reliable, high-performance security solution that integrates tightly with existing MX infrastructure, delivering protection and translation at line-rate speeds while simplifying management through the familiar Junos OS environment.
