QFX5100-96S
As shown in Figure 8 on page
Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) top-of-rack switch with 96 SFP+
ports and 8 Quad SFP+ (QSFP+) ports. Each SFP+ port can operate as a native 10
Gbps port or as a 1 Gbps port. QSFP+ ports 96 and 100 can operate at native 40 Gbps
speed or can be channelized to 4 independent 10 Gbps port speeds. The 8 QSFP+
ports can be used as either access ports or as uplinks. The QFX5100-96S switch has
a 2 U form factor and comes standard with redundant fans and redundant power
supplies. The switch can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow
and with AC or DC power supplies.

The QFX5100-96S can be used as:
A standalone switch.
A member in a QFX Virtual Chassis.
A QFX Series Virtual Chassis allows you to interconnect up to ten QFX3500,
QFX3600, or QFX5100 switches into one logical device and manage the device as
a single chassis in a ring topology.
A spine or leaf device in a Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF).
VCF uses Virtual Chassis technology to interconnect multiple devices into a single
logical device and manage that device as a single logical device inside of a fabric
architecture. VCF architecture supports up to 20 total devices in a spine and leaf
topology. Of those 20 devices, 4 QFX5100 devices can be configured as spine devices.
In a mixed environment with QFX5100-24Q, QFX5100-98S and EX4300, use the
QFX5100-24Q as the spine device and the QFX5100-96S and EX4300 as a leaf
devices. You may use the QFX5100-96S as a spine in an all QFX5100-96S VCF or
in a VCF that has a mixture of QFX5100-96S and EX4300.
A satellite device in a Junos Fusion system.
Junos OS Release 14.2.3 or later is required for Junos Fusion.
