Chapter 1: QFX3000 QFabric Switch Overview QFX Series QFabric System Architecture In contrast to legacy multi-tiered data center architectures, the Juniper Networks QFX Series QFabric System architecture provides a simplified networking environment that solves the most challenging issues faced by data center operators. A fabric is a set of devices that act in concert to behave as a single switch.
Chapter 1: QFX3000 QFabric Switch Overview Hardware-Based Routing Engines A traditional Juniper Networks Routing Engine is a hardware field-replaceable unit that runs routing protocols, builds the routing and switching tables, sends routing information to the Packet Forwarding Engine, and handles several software processes for the device (such as interface control, chassis component monitoring, system management, and user access).
AC Power Supply in a QFX3100 Director Device on page 30 QFX3100 Director Device Overview The Juniper Networks QFX3100 Director device is used to manage the Juniper Networks QFX3000-G QFabric system. You connect Gigabit Ethernet ports on a QFX3100 Director device to Gigabit Ethernet ports on two Virtual Chassis composed of Juniper Networks EX4200 Ethernet switches to form the control plane and management network for the QFabric system.
