About This Product

Overview

Product overview

The QFX5120 switch delivers rich, low latency Layer 2/Layer 3 features and advanced EVPN-VXLAN capabilities, making it an ideal data center top-of-rack and distribution switch for campus enterprise deployments.

Featuring L3 gateway capabilities for routing between virtualized and bare-metal servers, the QFX5120 is designed for extremely agile data centers that require support for overlay/ underlay network architectures. Native 25GbE with 100GbE uplink ports on the QFX5120-48Y and QFX5120-48YM, 10GbE/1GbE copper with 100GbE uplink ports on the QFX5120-48T, and 32 100GbE ports on the QFX5120-32C make the QFX5120 family ideal for spine-and-leaf network deployments.

Product description

The Juniper QFX5120 Switch delivers high scale, high availability, and high performance for data center and campus deployments. The QFX5120 switch is a versatile routing and switching platform addressing higher server access speed and campus distribution use cases while offering high-density 1GbE/10GbE/25GbE and 100GbE uplinks for collapsed spine data center or campus distribution deployments.

Product options

The QFX5120 switch includes four compact 1 U platforms-the QFX5120-48Y, the QFX5120-48YM, the QFX5120-48T, and the QFX5120-32C-that provide wire-speed packet performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Junos operating system features.

QFX5120-48Y

The QFX5120-48Y is a 25GbE/100GbE data center leaf and campus distribution switch featuring:

  • 48 25GbE (SFP28)/10GbE (SFP+)/1GbE (SFP) downlink ports
  • Eight 100GbE (QSFP28)/40GbE (QSFP+) uplink ports
  • Up to 2/4 Tbps (uni/bidirectional) of L2 and L3 performance, with latency as low as 800 nanoseconds
  • A 2.2 GHz quad-core Intel® CPU with 16 GB memory and 50 GB SSD storage

Using breakout cables, each of the eight 100GbE QSFP28 ports can be broken into four 25GbE SFP28 ports, while each 40GbE quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceiver ports can be broken into four 10GbE small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceiver ports, increasing the total number of supported 25GbE and 10GbE ports per switch to 80.

QFX5120-48YM

The QFX5120-48YM is a 10GbE/25GbE/100GbE data center leaf and campus distribution switch featuring:

  • 48 25GbE (SFP28)/10GbE (SFP+)/1GbE (SFP) downlink ports
  • Eight 100GbE (QSFP28)/40GbE (QSFP+) uplink ports
  • Up to 2/4 Tbps (uni/bidirectional) of L2 and L3 performance, with latency as low as 800 nanoseconds
  • Media Access Control Security (MACsec) AES-256 support across all ports
  • A 2.9 GHz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB memory and 100 GB SSD storage

When using breakout cables, two of the 100GbE QSFP28 ports (ports 50 and 52) can be broken into four 25GbE SFP28 or four 10GbE SFP+ ports, increasing the maximum number of 10GbE/25GbE ports supported to 56. When using breakouts, the total number of all ports on the switch, including 6x100GbE ports and 56x10/25GbE, is 62.

QFX5120-48T

The QFX5120-48T is a 10GbE/100GbE data center leaf and campus distribution switch featuring:

  • 48 dual-speed 1GbE/10GbE RJ-45 copper downlink ports
  • Six dual-speed 100GbE (QSFP28)/40GbE (QSFP+) uplink ports
  • Up to 1.08/2.16 Tbps (uni/bidirectional) of L2 and L3 performance, with latency as low as 800 nanoseconds
  • A 2.2 GHz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB memory and 100 GB SSD storage
  • Ethernet Switch supports network continuity by maintaining data transmission during operation
  • 100 Gigabit Ethernet supports high?capacity data transmission intended for backbone network connectivity
  • Layer 3 switching support enables structured traffic management without altering established network architecture
  • Rack?mountable design supports installation within standard equipment racks to accommodate organized hardware placement
  • Management functionality enables centralized control to support efficient configuration and operational oversight
  • Optical fiber support enables network connections across longer distances for data transmission between network components
  • Built?in power supply supports internal components by providing required operating voltage
  • 16 GB memory supports management of concurrent network connections
  • USB supports data transmission through a standard USB connection for exchanging information with compatible devices
  • Allows connection between standard Ethernet ports to support network extension without changing existing cabling
