Description

Does the SRX345 have traffic balancing considerations like the SRX4200 where additional CPU capacity can be utilized by distributing load on interfaces 0-3 and 4-7? The SRX4100/SRX4200 has two CPU complexes: CPU-0 and CPU-1. CPU-0= ports 0,1,2, and 3. CPU-1= ports 4,5,6 and 7.

Solution

The hardware architecture of the SRX345 is entirely different from SRX4200. All the traffic on the SRX345 is handled by single CPU, where as the interfaces in the SRX4200 are binded to 2 different CPU sockets. The traffic processing limits varies between SRX345 and SRX4200.
