Switch Ports; Channelizing Interfaces - Juniper QFX5110 Series Hardware Documentation

Switch Ports

The QFX5100-96S switch ports, (0 through 95) support:
SFP transceivers that can run at either 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps speed
SFP+ transceivers at 10 Gbps speed
SFP to SFP direct attach copper (DAC) cables
SFP+ to SFP+ DAC cables
SFP+ to SFP+ active optical cables (AOC)
Ports 96 through 104 support:
40 Gbps QSFP+ transceivers
Additionally ports 96 and 100 support:
SFP+ transceivers
QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct attach copper (DAC) cables
QSFP+ to SFP+ DAC breakout cables (DACBO)
QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical cables (AOC)
QSFP+ to SFP+ AOC breakout cables (AOCBO)
CAUTION:
above or below another 1GbE copper transceiver. Use only the top row or bottom
row to avoid damage to the device caused by some types of copper transceivers when
the transceivers are installed above or below each other. However, if you are using
copper transceivers with the OEM part number FCLF8521P2BTL-J1 printed on the
transceiver label, you can install the transceivers in any port with no restrictions. For
devices that support 10GbE copper transceivers, there is no similar restriction.

Channelizing Interfaces

The port panel of the QFX5100-96S switch supports up to a maximum of 104 logical 10 GbE ports that
can be distributed over 96 small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) and 8 quad small-form factor pluggable
plus (QSFP+) transceivers . Because of an 104 port restriction, only two of the eight QSFP+ can be
channelized. Depending on how you set the system mode for channelization, the behavior of channelization
for the QSFP+ changes. The following system modes are available for the QFX5100-96S switch:
Non-oversubscribed
Do not install 1GbE copper transceivers (such as QFX-SFP-1GE-T) directly
