QFX5110 FAQs
What are the port densities and speeds of the QFX5110 Switch?
The QFX5110 features high-density, multispeed configurations for 10GbE/40GbE/100GbE access, aggregation, and spine-and-leaf networks. It offers the following options:
- Up to 64 or 96 10GbE ports
- Up to 32 40GbE ports
- Up to four 100GbE uplink ports
What are the main use cases for the QFX5110 Switch?
Featuring Layer 3 gateway capabilities for bridging between virtualized and bare-metal servers, the QFX5110 is designed for extremely agile data centers that demand support for overlay/underlay network architectures. The high-density 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE ports also make the QFX5110 ideally suited for use in data center spine-and-leaf topologies and campus distribution networks. However, the product can also be deployed in aggregation and access networks.
What is the throughput of the QFX5110 Switch?
The QFX5110 Switch delivers up to 2.56 Tbps of bidirectional throughput.
What are the top features of the QFX5110 Switch?
Three key QFX5110 features are described below.
- Automation: The switch supports a number of features for network automation and plug-and-play operations, including ZTP, automatic rollback, and Python scripting.
- Flexible forwarding table: A Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) allows a QFX5110’s hardware table to be carved into configurable partitions of Layer 2 MAC, Layer 3 host, and longest prefix match (LPM) tables.
- Intelligent buffer management: A buffer mechanism absorbs traffic bursts while providing deterministic performance, significantly increasing performance over static allocation.
Who should use the QFX5110 Switch?
Organizations with data centers that demand support for overlay/underlay network architectures should consider the QFX5110. The highly agile switching platform can satisfy the demands of evolving data centers. The high-density 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE ports also make it ideally suited for use in data center spine-and-leaf topologies and campus distribution networks. However, the switch can also be deployed in aggregation and access networks.
What QFX5110 configurations are available?
