QFX5120 System Overview

QFX5120 Switches Hardware Overview

The QFX5120 line of switches delivers low latency, flexible deployment options, and rich automation features. QFX5120 Switches build a strong underlay foundation for flexible, high-performance, standards-based fabrics and routing that improve network reliability and agility.

The QFX5120 switch is available in four models—QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM. Each model is available in two variants featuring AC power supplies with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow and two models featuring DC power supplies with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow.

Benefits of the QFX5120 Switch

EVPN-VXLAN architecture - QFX5120 Switches support IP fabrics with EVPN-VXLAN overlays, enabling Layer 2/3 network virtualization.

Hop-by-hop encryption - QFX5120-48YM supports IEEE 802.1AE MACsec AES-256 on all ports to help secure data center and Ethernet-based DCI/WAN deployments.

Synchronization services – Support for PTP enables QFX5120 to meet the requirements of the financial services industry (FSI) and the broadcasting media industry.

Industry-leading wire speeds—QFX5120 switches offer 25-Gbps and 100-Gbps wire speeds.

Support for channelization—You can channelize the QSFP28 ports and increase the number of interfaces.

Support for Virtual Chassis—All QFX5120 switch models support Virtual Chassis technology. You can interconnect up to two QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, or QFX5120-48Y, or up to four QFX5120-48YM switches in a Virtual Chassis configuration.

QSFP28 ports

Note:

  • The SFP28 ports are grouped in quads (groups of four) and you can configure the speed of the ports only in quads; you cannot configure the speed for a single SFP28 port.

  • The SFP28 ports can operate at 25-Gbps, 10-Gbps, or 1-Gbps speed, based on the configuration set at the quad level. The ports are configured to operate at 10-Gbps speed by default. If you need the ports to support the other speeds, you must configure those speeds.

CAUTION:

When you use the latest OEM part number FCLF8521P2BTL (printed on the transceiver label), you can install 1GbE transceivers (such as QFX-SFP-1GE-T) in any port with no restrictions. The same applies for devices that support 10GbE copper transceivers. However, if you are using the older OEM part number SP7041-M1-JN (not shipped in last 3+ years) instead, do not install 1GbE copper transceivers (such as QFX-SFP-1GE-T) directly above or below another 1GbE copper transceiver. Use only the top row or bottom row to avoid damage to the device caused when the transceivers are installed above or below each other.

Virtual Chassis

All QFX5120 switch models support Virtual Chassis technology. You can connect a QX5120 switch only with another QFX5120 switch of the same model in a Virtual Chassis configuration. QFX5120 switches do not have dedicated or default Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs). However, you can configure any of the QSFP28 ports as VCPs when those ports are not channelized. Table 3 lists the Junos OS release in which Virtual Chassis support is introduced and the QSFP28 ports that you can configure as VCPs.

You configure, monitor, and maintain the QFX5120 Virtual Chassis the same way as you configure, monitor, and maintain a Virtual Chassis involving other QFX Series switches. See the following topics for more details on how to configure and change the members in a QFX5120 Virtual Chassis:

QFX5120 Cooling System

The cooling system in QFX5120 switches consists of fan modules and built-in fans in the power supplies. The airflow direction depends on the fan modules and power supplies installed in the switch. You can order a QFX5120 switch that supports front-to-back airflow (air enters through the front of the switch) or back-to-front airflow (air enters through the back of the switch).

The fan modules are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs) installed in the rear panel of the switch: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.

QFX5120 Power System

QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, and QFX5120-48Y switches support two 650-W AC or DC power supplies with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. Additionally, QFX5120-48T switches support two 850-W high-voltage power supplies with AC or DC input and front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. QFX5120-48YM switches support two 850-W AC or DC power supplies with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. Power supplies for the QFX5120 switch are fully redundant, load-sharing, and hot-removable and hot-insertable FRUs when the second power supply is installed and running. You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions. Each power supply is cooled by its own internal cooling system. We ship QFX5120 switches with two AC or DC power supplies preinstalled in the rear panel of the chassis.

CAUTION:

Do not mix:

  • AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.

  • 650-W and 850-W power supplies in the same QFX5120-48T chassis.

  • Power supplies with different airflow directions in the same chassis.

  • Fan modules with different airflow directions in the same chassis.

  • Power supplies and fan modules with different airflow directions in the same chassis.

If you install power supplies or fan modules with different airflow directions, Junos OS raises an alarm.

QFX5120 Switch Models and Variants

The QFX5120 has four models: QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM. Each of these models has variants depending on power supply (AC or DC) and airflow (front-to-back or back-to-front). All variants of the QFX5120-32C switch ship with two power supplies and six fans installed by default. All variants of the QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM switches ship with two power supplies and five fans installed by default.
