Qsfp+ Uplink Ports - Juniper QFX5110 Series Hardware Documentation

Up to 36 of the access ports can be used for SFP transceivers. Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers can be
used in ports 6 through 41.
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.
Figure 26 on page 54 shows the location of the SFP+ access ports, including the ports that can be used
with Fibre Channel SFP+ transceivers and Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers.

QSFP+ Uplink Ports

The QFX3500 device has four uplink ports (Q0 through Q3) that support up to four QSFP+ transceivers,
as well as QSFP+ DAC or DAC breakout cables. See
Device" on page 141.
When the QFX3500 device is used as part of a QFabric system, these uplink ports are used to connect
the QFX3500 Node device to QFX3008-I or QFX3600-I Interconnect devices. See Connecting a QFX3500
Node Device to a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device or Connecting a QFX3500 Node Device to a QFX3600-I
Interconnect Device.
When the QFX3500 device is used as a standalone switch, these uplink ports are configured by default
as 15 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Another option for these ports is to configure one or more of the
ports as 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Do not install 1GbE copper transceivers (such as QFX-SFP-1GE-T) directly
