Node Device
QFX3500, QFX3600, and
QFX5100-48S, QFX5100-48T, and
QFX5100-24Q Node devices
NOTE:
There can be a maximum of 16
Node devices in the
QFX3000-M QFabric system
using QFX3600-I as
Interconnect devices and 32
Node devices using the
QFX5100-24Q as Interconnec
devices.
NOTE: QFX5100-24Q
Interconnect devices and
QFX3600-I Interconnect
devices cannot be mixed on the
same QFabric system.
For a copper-based
QFX3000-M QFabric system
control plane network, use
QFX3500 Node devices with a
1000BASE-T management
board installed. For a
fiber-based control plane
network, use QFX3500 Node
devices with an SFP
management board installed.
To complete the system, external Routing Engines (such as the fabric manager Routing
Engines, network Node group Routing Engines, and fabric control Routing Engines) run
on the Director group and implement QFabric system control plane functions. The control
plane network provides the control plane connections between the Node devices, the
Interconnect devices, and the Routing Engines running on the Director group.
A QFX3000-G QFabric system provides the following key features:
Support for up to 128 Node devices and 4 Interconnect devices, which provides a
maximum of 6144 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Low port-to-port latencies that scale as the system size grows from 48 to 6144
10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Support for up to 384,000 total ingress queues at each Node device to the QFabric
system Interconnect backplane.
Support for Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) traffic.
