Juniper released the MX204 under three different part names. As you can see in the below table. The “IR” and “R” are only paper license.
MX204 JNP204/MX204 Fixed 1 RU System includes 3 Fan Trays and 2 Power Supplies MX204-IR JNP204/MX204 Fixed 1 RU System -IR MODE includes 3 Fan Trays and 2 Power Supplies MX204-R JNP204/MX204 Fixed 1 RU System -R MODE includes 3 Fan Trays and 2 Power Supplies Differences: [cid:image002.jpg@01D61322.101F7080] From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Forrest Christian (List Account) Sent: Wednesday, 15 April 2020 11:47 To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Edge Router Options Is there a reference somewhere that describes which options are needed for what on the MX204? I've been eyeing one for the edge for several months now, and it's getting to the point where we probably need to pull the trigger sooner rather than later. It looks like for a edge device I might only need the base licensing, but it's hard to tell for sure.

New with licensing it’s under 20k (negotiate hard and you can get it closer to 15k). Very powerful without the power, space, and line card expense of the MX80. The only real drawback to them is they are a single routing engine rather than dual. Having said that I can’t recall any time that we have had a routing engine fail on a MX series router. Used to happen all the time on our Cisco 7500’s - but we are talking ancient history there. We run a pair of MX204’s now, though we used a single one for a long time.
