QFX5200-48Y This 1 U 48x25GbE switch has 6x100GbE uplink ports for connecting to the spine, making it an ideal choice for 25GbE access or leaf deployments with a 100GbE spine. Backward compatibility in this model means that 25GbE access ports can be configured to 10GbE, and the 100GbE uplink ports can be configured to 40GbE.
QFX5200-32C This 1 U 32x100GbE switch has 3.2 Tbps of throughput. Ideally suited for leaf deployments in IP-fabric networks, it offers line-rate, high-density quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP+) and QSFP28 ports. The switch supports 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE connections.
QFX5210-64C With this 2 U 64x100GbE high-density switch, you can eliminate tiers, reducing cost and management complexity. It’s well-suited for lean-spine deployments.
QFX5210-64C-S This 2 U 64x100GbE switch integrates the Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) network operating system, enabling Juniper’s hardware to plug consistently into a unified SONiC network infrastructure. The switch also supports optional Junos containerized routing protocol daemon (cRPD) to run in Linux-based environments.
QFX5220-32CD This 1 U 32x400GbE platform is optimal for spine and leaf deployments in enterprise, service provider, and cloud provider data centers.
QFX5220-128C This switch offers 128x100GbE ports in a 4 U form factor. With 12.8-Tbps bandwidth, it’s designed for spine and leaf deployments with a wide variety of port configurations that include speeds of 40GbE and 100GbE.
