Juniper Networks MX80, MX104, MX240, MX480, MX960 3D Universal Edge Routers with RE-S-X6-64G/RE-S-X6-128G Routing Engine and MIC-MACSEC-20GE MACSec Card, from Juniper Networks, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3621 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode, installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 1.2 and 6 of the Security Policy
