SRX5400-CHAS Juniper SRX5400 NGFW Services Gateway Chassis
Juniper SRX5400-CHAS Services Gateway Chassis
High-Performance, Modular Next-Generation Firewall Chassis for the Data Center Edge
The Juniper Networks SRX5400-CHAS Services Gateway Chassis is a modular, high-performance next-generation firewall (NGFW) platform designed for medium-to-large data centers, enterprise networks, and service provider environments. Built with a compact 5RU form factor, this chassis delivers powerful security capabilities, scalability, and reliability while optimizing rack space utilization.
At the core of the SRX5400-CHAS is a high-speed passive midplane architecture, enabling efficient communication between Services Processing Cards (SPCs) and Input/Output Cards (IOCs). This design ensures high-throughput data processing and supports advanced security services such as firewalling, intrusion prevention (IPS), VPN termination, AppSecure, and content security.
With support for up to 480 Gbps firewall throughput (when equipped with SPC3 modules), the SRX5400 chassis is engineered to handle demanding workloads, including deep packet inspection (DPI), large-scale session management, and complex security policies. Its pay-as-you-grow modular design allows organizations to scale performance and port density by simply adding additional SPCs and IOCs, eliminating the need for costly hardware replacements.
The 3-slot flexible architecture enables customizable configurations, allowing a balance between security processing capacity and network connectivity. This makes it an ideal solution for evolving network environments where flexibility and scalability are critical.
Designed for carrier-grade reliability, the SRX5400-CHAS supports N+1 power redundancy, hot-swappable fan trays, and 1+1 control plane redundancy (with dual SCBs and Routing Engines). It also supports chassis clustering, ensuring high availability and uninterrupted security operations in mission-critical deployments.
Fully integrated with Junos OS, the Juniper SRX5400-CHAS provides centralized management, automation capabilities, and consistent policy enforcement across the network. Its combination of high performance, modular scalability, and advanced security features makes it an ideal choice for organizations seeking a robust and future-ready network security platform.

FAQs:
Q1. How many slots are available for line cards?
The chassis has 3 slots. One slot is typically occupied by a Switch Control Board (SCB) and Routing Engine (RE). The remaining slots can be used for SPCs to increase processing or IOCs to increase port count.
Q2. Does this chassis support the newer SPC3 cards?
Yes. With the correct Switch Control Board (SCB3), the SRX5400 chassis fully supports the SPC3, which significantly increases the firewall and IPsec VPN performance over previous generations.
Q3. Is the fan tray included with the SRX5400-CHAS?
When ordered as a "Spare" (CHAS), it typically includes the frame and midplane. The fan tray and power supplies are often ordered as separate line items or as part of a system bundle.
Q4. Does it support AC and DC power?
Yes. The chassis can be equipped with either AC or DC power supply modules, but they cannot be mixed within the same chassis.
Q5. Can I run this in a Cluster (High Availability)?
Yes. Two SRX5400 chassis can be connected via high-speed interfaces to form a Chassis Cluster, providing seamless failover and stateful synchronization of security sessions.
