With high port density and MACsec-ready ports, the ACX7100-32C routers are ideal for secure and high-end service aggregation, large enterprises, and top-of-rack, spine-and-leaf data center applications.
The ACX7100-32C provides several capabilities that include a comprehensive set of features, advanced programmability, and seamless integration with emerging distributed edge compute architectures and spine-and-leaf data center applications.
With a 1-U, energy-efficient, and fixed-configuration design, the ACX7100-32C has a 4.8-Tbps-forwarding-capacity ASIC and the following port configurations:
- Thirty-two QSFP28 ports (ports 0 through 31) that operate at 100-Gbps or 40-Gbps speeds.
- Four double-density QSFP56-DD ports (ports 32 through 35) that operate at a default speed of 400-Gbps.
We ship the ACX7100-32C routers with redundant power supply modules (PSMs). You can order router models with either AC or DC PSMs. The router supports only front-to-back airflow.
To install the ACX7100-32C router hardware and perform initial software configuration, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting, see the ACX7100-32C Router Hardware Guide.

Services applications
Support for RFC 5357, Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) monitoring service. You can configure the TWAMP monitoring service, which sends out probes to measure network performance. You often use TWAMP to check compliance with service-level agreements. In Junos OS Evolved, you configure TWAMP at the
[edit services monitoring twamp]
hierarchy level.The support for this service is limited to the following:
- IPv4 traffic only for control sessions and test sessions

only- IPv4 source and destination addresses
- Software-based reflection, with a maximum frame rate for the traffic flows of 1000 kbps
You use the RFC 2544 benchmarking tests to measure and demonstrate the service-level agreement (SLA) parameters before service activation. The tests measure throughput, latency, frame loss rate, and number of back-to-back frames.
You can configure these tests at the
[edit services monitoring rfc2544]
hierarchy level. [See RFC 2544-Based Benchmarking Tests Overview.]
Software installation and upgrade

Support for either WAN interfaces or management interfaces to automatically download and install the appropriate software and the configuration file on your device during the ZTP bootstrap process. [See Zero Touch Provisioning.]
-
Support for secure-boot implementation based on the UEFI 2.4 standard. [See Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.]
Timing and synchronization
-
Support for enhanced Ethernet equipment clock (eEEC). Enhanced EEC enables new clocks to operate with different quality levels defined in the Synchronous Ethernet chain.
To enable enhanced EEC on your router, configure the
enable-extended-ql-tlv
statement at the[edit chassis synchronization]
hierarchy level.The ACX7100-32C supports the following new clock quality levels for enhanced EEC:
- Enhanced primary reference time clock (ePRTC)
- Primary reference time clock (PRTC)
- Enhanced primary reference clock (ePRC)
- Enhanced Ethernet equipment clock (eEEC)
[See enable-extended-ql-tlv, Ethernet Synchronization Message Channel Overview, and synchronization (ACX Series).]
-
Support for frequency synchronization using Synchronous Ethernet. [See Synchronous Ethernet Overview.]
-
Support for Synchronous Ethernet with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Transparent Clock. The transparent clock measures the residence time of PTP packets as the packets pass through the router. The network load and device architecture might result in queuing or buffering delays. These delays are the main source of packet delay variation in the router.
Transparent clock adds the residence time into the correction field of the PTP packet. The client or boundary clocks can determine this resident time while they receive the PTP packet from the upstream transparent clock router. The client clock can estimate and remove these delays from the offset computation and reduce the packet’s jitter effects.
In syntonized transparent clock, the transparent clock requires physical layer frequency based on the ITU-T G.8262/.1 standard. Synchronous Ethernet configuration is mandatory for enabling syntonized transparent clock.
Use the
show protocols ptp
andshow ptp global-information
commands to verify the PTP transparent clock configuration status.To enable PTP transparent clock on your router, configure
syntonized-e2e-transparent
statement at the[edit protocols ptp]
hierarchy level.See [Understanding Transparent Clocks in Precision Time Protocol and show ptp global-information.]

Limitations include:
- IGMP group-specific queries received on a multicast-router interface are forwarded to all other interfaces in the VLAN.
- MBB on existing L2aggregated Ethernet or LAG interfaces, including for member additions, deletions, and link up or down events.
- All unregistered IPv4 and IPv6 multicast packets are forwarded to the multicast router interfaces in the VLAN, even if an interface is configured as a multicast router interface only for IGMP snooping.
- Neither MLD snooping, PIM snooping, snooping with VPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, nor EVPN-MPLS is supported.

Network management and monitoring
-
Support for sFlow monitoring technology.
[See Understanding How to Use sFlow Technology for Network Monitoring.]
-
Support for port mirroring.
Protection against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks
-
Support for DDoS protection, which is enabled by default.
[See Control Plane Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Protection Overview.]
Routing policy and firewall filters
-
L3 support for firewall filters and policers.
[See Firewall Filter Match Conditions and Actions (QFX and EX Series Switches).]
Routing protocols - Support for
Unified
Forwarding Table
(UFT)
and
L3
sub-interface
features—The
QFX5700 line of switches supports these
UFT
and
L3
sub-interface features:
The UFT feature enables you to allocate forwarding table resources to optimize the memory available for different address types based on the needs of your network. The UFT stores both the L2 and L3 entries that enable you to set default sizes for different entries.
These applications share UFT search banks:
- L2 MAC addresses.
- IPv4 and IPv6 host routes.
- L2 and L3 multicast routes.
- IPv4 and IPv6 longest prefix match (LPM) or prefix entries that are supported in UFT through algorithmic longest prefix match (ALPM).
[See forwarding-options.]
-
Support for redistribution of IPv4 routes with IPv6 next hop into BGP.
[See Understanding Redistribution of IPv4 Routes with IPv6 Next Hop into BGP.]
Software installation and upgrade
-
Support for zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) on the management and the WAN interfaces.
- Support for secure boot—The implementation is based on the UEFI 2.4 standard.
-
-
Support for the QSFP-100G-DR and QSFP-100G-FR transceivers (QFX5220-32CD and QFX5220-128C)—Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 21.2R1, the QFX5220-32CD and QFX5220-128C switches support the QSFP-100G-DR and QSFP-100G-FR transceivers.
