Juniper Certification | JNCIA-JUNOS | Day-3 Routing Engine and Packet Forwarding Engine
On this session we are going to learn about RE and PFE. Now lets look over Routing Engine (i.e., RE). Routing Engine As we already discussed earlier, that RE is the brain of a platform and it is responsible for performing protocol updates and system management. 1. Routing Engine Intelligence Maintenance : The RE handles all protocol processes in addition to other software processes that control the devices interface, the chassis components, system management, and user access to the devices. These software processes run fon top of the Junos kernel, which interacts with the PFE. The software directs all protocol traffic from the network to the RE for the required processing. 2. Chassis Monitoring and Control : The RE provides in addition on the J-Web GUI. These user interface run on top of the Junos kernel and provides user access and control of the devices. 3. Packet Forwarding Engine Management : RE controls the PFE by providing a...
