Description
The QFX5200 switches provide a line-rate, low-latency platform for building large spine and leaf, IP-fabric data center networks. This switch offers flexible 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE interfaces for server and intrafabric connectivity. You can take advantage of its deployment versatility to future-proof your network investment.
To meet today’s business demands, both software and hardware must work together as part of a unified network. The QFX5200 switches provide the foundation of the underlying data center infrastructure for Contrail Networking, a platform that enables automated policies and life-cycle management of data center fabrics. Contrail Networking abstracts the network connectivity using virtual overlays across legacy and cloud-native workloads running servers attached to QFX Series switches.
QFX5200-48Y 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. Additionally, it’s backward compatible, as 25GbE access ports can be configured to 10GbE, and the 100GbE uplink ports can be configured to 40GbE.
Native 25GbE Ports
QFX5200-48Y offers 48 native 25GbE ports that can be configured to 10GbE, and 100GbE uplink ports that can be configured to 40GbE.
High-Density IP Fabrics
Support for 32x100GbE in a 1 U platform and 64x100GbE in a 2 U platform provides a strong foundation for building high-density IP fabrics in the data center.
Flexible Connectivity Options
The QFX5200-32C and QFX5210-64C have flexible 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE connectivity options, providing deployment versatility and investment protection.
Open, Standards-Based Junos Architecture
With open access to the standards-based Junos Linux kernel, enabled by the disaggregated version of Junos OS, you can install third-party Linux RPM packages and create guest containers and virtual machines (VMs).
Overlay Management
Contrail Networking enables provisioning and automation of data center fabrics and data center interconnect.
Comprehensive Automation Capabilities
A full set of automation capabilities includes Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and support for Python, Chef, Puppet, and others.
High Availability
Topology-independent in-service software upgrade (TISSU) and fast reboot ensure high availability for the network during switch updates.
Advanced Capabilities in Junos OS
Junos OS enables support for advanced networking features such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) add-path, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Layer 3 VPN, 6PE, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
