24 high-density QSFP+ ports. Each QSFP+ port can operate as a native 40 Gbps port or as 4 independent 10 Gbps ports. The QFX5100-24Q switch has a 1 U form factor and comes standard with redundant fans and redundant power supplies.
A master, backup, or line card in a QFX Virtual Chassis. A QFX Series Virtual Chassis allows you to interconnect up to 10 QFX3500, QFX3600, or QFX5100 switches into one logical device and manage the device as a single chassis in a ring topology.
However, when an EX4600-EM-8F is inserted instead of the default QFX-EM-4Q, the new configuration causes the interfaces to temporarily go down. Likewise, when an EX4600-EM-8F is running on the QFX5100-24Q and it is swapped with a QFX-EM-4Q, the interfaces temporarily go down, which can cause a short disruption in traffic.

The QFX5100-24Q device has two module bays for the optional expansion modules, QFX-EM-4Q or EX4600-EM-8F. The QFX-EM-4Q, can add a total of 8 additional QSFP+ ports to the chassis and the EX4600-EM-8F can provide 8 additional 10-Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports.
Expansion Module adds the switch uplink capacity by 2 for a total of 8 uplinks. To connect a QFX5100-24Q switch as a Node device in a QFabric system, you need: Four QSFP+ uplink ports on each QFX5100-24Q Node device to connect to the data plane network through the QFX3008-I or QFX5100-24Q Interconnect devices.
QFX devices in a QFabric. To connect a QFX5100-24Q device as a spine or leaf device in a VCF, you need to cable a set of ports as VCP connections that link each spine device and leaf device. All spine devices have at least one direct VCP connection to each leaf device in the VCF.
1280 Gbps output. Any of the 24 ports can be configured as either an uplink port or an access port. The expansion module bay of the QFX5100-24Q switch is located on the port panel. In the expansion module bay, you can install a single double-wide expansion module (QFX-PFA-4Q) or two single-wide optional expansion modules (QFX-EM-4Q and EX4600-EM-8F, in any combination).
QFX5100 Switch Hardware Guide Port Panel of a QFX5100-48S Device The port panel of the QFX5100-48S switch supports up to a maximum of 72 logical 10 GbE ports when operating as a standalone switch. Forty-eight physical ports( through ) support 10 Gbps small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceivers. These ports can be configured as access ports.
20 total devices, up to four QFX5100-24Q devices may be used as spine devices. All members can be connected to the spine using QSFP+ ports. You can configure the QFX5100-96S as a spine in an all QFX5100-96S VCF or in a mixed VCF comprised of EX4300 and QFX5100-96S.

When the expansion module is inserted into the expansion bay, the chassis detects the additional ports, recognizes them as 10GbE ports, and lights the Status LED. The QFX5100-24Q device is configured for the QFX-EM-4Q by default, but any combination of the two modules is supported. Expansion modules can be hot-inserted or hot-removed.
QFX-EM-4Q The QFX-EM-4Q, provides 4 additional 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports to one of the bays in the QFX5100-24Q or QFX5100-24Q-AA. Port 0 and port 2 can be used for port channelization by configuring the system mode for 104 port mode.
Chapter 2: Chassis Components and Descriptions QFX-PFA-4Q The QFX-PFA-4Q, which features a high-performance field-programmable gate array (FPGA), provides four additional QSFP+ ports to the QFX5100-24Q switch. The QFX-PFA-4Q is a double-wide expansion module. Figure 21 on page 37 shows the ports and LEDs on the expansion module.
Both the 1 U and 2 U versions of QFX5100 fan modules have a similar design with different dimensions. The 1 U QFX5100 devices have 5 fan modules numbered 0 through 4 from left to right, where the 2 U, QFX5100-96S device, has 3 fan modules numbered 0 through 2.

In addition, you should establish procedures to protect your equipment in the event of a fire emergency. Juniper Networks products should be installed in an environment suitable for electronic equipment. We recommend that fire suppression equipment be available in the event of a fire in the vicinity of the equipment and that all local fire, safety, and electrical codes and ordinances be observed when you install and operate your equipment.
To keep warranties effective, do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to control a fire at or near a Juniper Networks device. If a dry chemical fire extinguisher is used, the unit is no longer eligible for coverage under a service agreement.
