Juniper Networks MX240, MX480, MX960 3D Universal Edge Routers with RE-S-X6-128G/RE-1800 Routing Engine and MPC7E-10G MACSec Card

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4503 · Juniper Networks, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-09

Juniper Networks MX240, MX480, MX960 3D Universal Edge Routers with RE-S-X6-128G/RE-1800 Routing Engine and MPC7E-10G MACSec Card, from Juniper Networks, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4503 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its algorithm certificates, its validation history, and the list moves this tracker has observed, which NIST does not date.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement. Observed moving to historical on 2026-09-22. It was one of the last FIPS 140-2 certificates, all moved at the 140-2 sunset on 2026-09-21.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode, installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 1.2 and 6 of the Security Policy
