Juniper QFX Series QFX5200 Switches

The QFX5200 line provides line-rate, low-latency platforms for building large, standards-based fabrics. These switches offer flexible 10GbE, 25GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE interfaces for server and intra-fabric connectivity. They are an optimal choice for spine-and-leaf deployments in enterprise, service provider, and cloud provider data centers, as well as for metro routing use cases.

This switching platform supports Juniper’s SONiC operating system implementation, delivering best-of-breed hardware and routing while taking advantage of the flexibility, resiliency, and cost savings of SONiC’s open and disaggregated architecture.

Manage your QFX5200 with turnkey Juniper Apstra software, which automates the entire network lifecycle to simplify design, deployment, and operations and provides closed-loop assurance.

The QFX5200 switches are compact, 1 U platforms that provide wire-speed packet performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Junos OS features. In addition to a high throughput Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE), the performance of the QFX5200 control plane is further enhanced with a powerful 1.8 GHz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB of memory and 64 GB SSD storage.

product details

Two QFX5200 switch models are available

QFX5200-48YEOL: A 10GbE/25GbE data center access switch that offers 48 small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceiver ports or SFP28 ports and six QSFP28 ports. The six QSFP28 ports can be configured as 6x40GbE or 6x100GbE, with an aggregate throughput of 3.6 Tbps or 4.2 Bpps per switch.

QFX5200-32C: A 100GbE data center access and aggregation switch that offers 32 quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceiver or QSFP28 ports, with an aggregate throughput of 6.4 Tbps or 4.8 Bpps per switch. A QSFP28 module supports a 1x100GbE connection, 2x50GbE connections, or 4x25GbE connections using breakout cables. A QSFP+ module can provide a 1x40GbE connection or 4x10GbE connections using breakout cables.

Features + Benefits

High Throughput

Up to 6.4 Tbps line-rate, bidirectional, low-latency switching supports data center fabrics built on proven, scalable technology standards.

Junos OS Capabilities

The switches support advanced networking features such as BGP Additional Paths, MPLS, Layer 3 VPN, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

SONiC Support

The QFX5200 gives you the flexibility to use our hardware and routing in a data center network that runs Juniper’s SONiC disaggregated operating system implementation.

Network Automation

Support for intent-based automation, Terraform, Python, Puppet, Ansible, and zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) addresses growing network complexity in Day 0 to Day 2+ operations.

Fabric Management

Juniper’s intent-based Apstra software provides full Day 0 through Day 2+ capabilities for IP/EVPN fabrics with closed-loop assurance in the data center.
