Overview:

The QFX5120 Switch includes four compact 1U platforms that provide wire-speed packet performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Junos® operating system features.

The QFX5120-48YM is a 10GbE/25GbE/100GbE data center leaf and campus distribution switch featuring:

  • 48 25GbE (SFP28)/10GbE (SFP+)/1GbE (SFP) downlink ports
  • Eight 100GbE (QSFP28)/40GbE (QSFP+) uplink ports
  • Up to 4 Tbps L2 and L3 performance (bidirectional), with latency as low as 550 nanoseconds
  • Media Access Control Security (MACsec) AES-256 support across all ports
  • A 2.9 GHz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB memory and 100 GB SSD storage

When using breakout cables, two of the 100GbE QSFP28 ports (ports 50 and 52) can be broken into four 25GbE SFP28 or four 10GbE SFP+ ports, increasing the maximum number of 10GbE/25GbE ports supported to 56. When using breakouts, the total number of all ports on the switch, including 6x100GbE ports and 56x10/25GbE, is 62.

In addition, QFX5120 switch models include:

  • Support for VXLAN as an L2 or L3 gateway
  • Advanced Junos OS features such as Ethernet VPN-Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN), BGP add-path, L3 VPN, and MPLS
  • Feature-rich automation capabilities with support for Python and zero-touch provisioning (ZTP)
