Understanding QFX3000-G QFabric System Hardware Configurations

10
A QFX3000-M QFabric system provides the following key features:
Support for up to 32 Node devices and 4 QFX5100-24Q Interconnect devices or 16
Node device and 4 QFX3600-I Interconnect devices.
NOTE: You may not mix QFX5100-24Q Interconnect devices with
QFX3600-I Interconnect devices on the same QFX3000-M QFabric system.
Low port-to-port latencies that scale as the system size grows from 48 to 768
10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The QFX3000-G QFabric system is made up of multiple hardware components:
EX4200 switches—Eight EX4200 switches are required for a QFX3000-G QFabric
system. The EX4200 switches are divided into two Virtual Chassis configurations with
four switches each.
Up to 192 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports on each Virtual Chassis provide control plane
and management network interconnection.
Four 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports on each Virtual Chassis interconnect the two
Virtual Chassis configurations.
QFX3100 Director devices—Two QFX3100 Director devices are required for a
QFX3000-G QFabric system. Together, the two Director devices are called a Director
group.
Six Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 or six small-form factor pluggable (SFP) ports on each
QFX3100 Director device provide connection to the control plane and management
network through the Virtual Chassis.
Two Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 or two SFP ports on each QFX3100 Director device
interconnect two Director devices in a Director group.
