Description
The Juniper QFX5120‑32C‑AFO is a high‑performance fixed‑configuration Ethernet switch optimized for data center leaf/top‑of‑rack and campus aggregation fabrics. Powered by Juniper’s Junos OS, this 1 RU platform delivers robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking with advanced automation, virtualization, and overlay support — including EVPN‑VXLAN, BGP, and MPLS — making it suitable for modern cloud, enterprise, and campus deployments.
Designed for high‑speed east‑west traffic, the QFX5120‑32C‑AFO provides 32 high‑speed QSFP28 ports that support 40 GbE or 100 GbE interfaces and 2 SFP+ ports for auxiliary or management connectivity. Its front‑to‑back airflow (AFO) cooling design and redundant hot‑swappable power supplies and fan modules help ensure efficient thermal management in rack‑mounted hot‑aisle/cold‑aisle environments common in data centers. With up to 6.4 Tbps bidirectional switching capacity (3.2 Tbps unidirectional), this switch excels at handling demanding high‑speed fabric traffic with microsecond‑class latency and extensive routing capabilities.
Key Features:
• High‑density 32× QSFP28 ports supporting 40 GbE and 100 GbE for scalable data center fabrics.
• 2× SFP+ management/auxiliary ports for flexible connectivity.
• Up to 6.4 Tbps bidirectional switching capacity with ultra‑low latency.
• Front‑to‑back airflow (AFO) with redundant hot‑swappable fans and power supplies suited for rack‑cooling architectures.
• Advanced Junos OS with EVPN‑VXLAN, automation, analytics, and rich Layer 2/Layer 3 features.
