The QFX5200 line of access switches is ideally suited for leaf deployments in next-generation IP fabrics. It features line-rate, high-density SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP28 ports that support 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE connections. Offering an advanced L2, L3, and MPLS feature set, network operators can use the QFX5200 to build large, high-density IP fabrics that support upgrades to 25GbE servers, network virtualization, and intelligent traffic forwarding based on proven, Internet-scale technology. The QFX5200 also supports a version of Junos OS software in which control plane and data plane processes and functions run in parallel, maximizing utilization of the high-performance quad-core CPU.
QFX5200-32C Hardware with SONiC Support
The QFX5200-32C Switch supports Juniper’s SONiC implementation, delivering best-of-breed hardware and routing for cloud providers while taking advantage of the flexibility, resiliency, and cost savings of SONiC’s open and disaggregated architecture.
The SONiC-enabled QFX5200-32C, which plugs seamlessly into a unified SONiC network infrastructure, leverages the existing QFX5200-32C hardware and includes support for ONIE and IDEEPROM TLV formats. ONIE and SONiC images are installed on the hardware at the factory. The Juniper-provided SONiC image includes the platform and FRU device drivers only; it does not include Juniper software features such as Layer 2, Layer 3, MPLS, EVPN, and VXLAN, among others. The platform and FRU device drivers are uploaded to the SONiC Github open source repository. Customers can use their private SONiC patches by building and upgrading the ONIE and SONiC images on the switch.
Juniper complements the SONiC OS with the containerized Routing Protocol Daemon (cRPD), a full-function routing and management stack packaged as a container, ensuring a common end-to-end routing experience across different tiers in the data center. In addition, the cRPD enables high-performance telemetry, automation, and programmability in a lightweight deployment.
