The QFX5210 is a flexible, 64- port, fixed-configuration switch designed for spine-and-leaf applications in next-generation IP fabric networks. Featuring line-rate, high-density QSFP+/ QSFP28 ports supporting 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE connections, the QFX5210 offers an advanced L2, L3, and MPLS feature set. This allows network operators to build large, high-density IP fabrics that support network virtualization and intelligent traffic forwarding based on proven, Internet-scale technology, while enabling easy upgrades to 25GbE and 50GbE servers.
Additionally, the QFX5210-64C-S platform includes support for SONiC, continuing Juniper's commitment to disaggregation, allowing customers to innovate quickly and easily while simplifying operations.
Product Description
Network operators are increasingly deploying scale-out spine-and-leaf IP fabric architectures built with fixed-configuration switches to support growing east-west traffic in the data center. The Juniper Networks® QFX5210 Switch is a next-generation, fixed-configuration spine/leaf switch that offers flexible, cost-effective, high-density 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE interfaces for IP fabric networks, providing deployment versatility, investment protection, and future-proofing for today's data centers. The QFX5210 Switch's high port density also contributes to simplified Clos architectures, eliminating network tiers while reducing complexity and cost.
Like other QFX Series switches, the QFX5210 supports advanced Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS features. For large public cloud providers-among the first to adopt 25GbE and 50GbE servers to meet explosive workload growth-the QFX5210 enables very large, dense, and fast IP fabrics based on proven Internet scale technology.
The QFX5210 runs the same reliable, high-performance Juniper Networks Junos® operating system used by network operators around the world.
