QFX3500 Device Hardware Documentation Unpacking a QFX3500 Device The QFX3500 device chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. A QFX3500 device is shipped in a cardboard carton, secured with foam packing material. The carton also contains an accessory box and quick start instructions.
Mounting a QFX3500 Device in a Rack or Cabinet You can mount a QFX3500 device on four posts in a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the mounting kits provided with the device. Choose one of the following two mounting kits provided for the different QFX3500 chassis configurations.
CAUTION: If you are installing the QFX3500 device above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor, you must remove the power supplies, fan trays, and management board before attempting to install the device, or ask someone to assist you during the installation.
If someone is assisting you, have one person stand at the rear of the rack where the installation blade is installed, to help guide the device onto the installation blade. Figure 30: Mounting the QFX3500 Device on Four Posts in a Rack Using a Two-Rail Kit Installation blade Align the holes in the front brackets on the chassis with the holes in the rack.
Figure 31 on page 80 see the proper alignment. Figure 31: Attaching a Mounting Rail to the QFX3500 With three mounting screws—and cage nuts and washers if your rack requires them—attach the mounting rail to the device. Tighten the screws.

In a QFX Virtual Chassis, you can connect up to 10 standalone QFX5100, QFX3600, QFX3500, and EX4300 switches into a QFX Series Virtual Chassis and manage the interconnected switches as a single chassis. Unlike a Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF), which is cabled in a spine and leaf topology, the QFX Virtual Chassis is cabled in a ring topology.
On EX4300, non-channelized QSFP+ interfaces; Ports 0 and 1 are configured as VCP by default. All fixed SFP+ interfaces can also be configured. On QFX3500 and QFX3600, all non-channelized QSFP+ and fixed SFP+ interfaces. BEST PRACTICE: Use the 40-Gigabit QSFP+ interfaces for the VCPs.

A VCF supports up to 20 total devices, and up to 4 devices can be configured into spine devices. QFX3500 or QFX3600 devices are supported in the leaf role in a QFX5100 VCF. To understand the different hardware configurations supported, see Virtual Chassis Fabric Hardware Overview.
Configuring a QFX Series Virtual Chassis (CLI Procedure) on page 109 Configuring a QFX3500 Device as a Standalone Switch If you are using the QFX3500 device as a standalone switch, you must perform the initial configuration of the QFX3500 device through the console port using the command-line interface (CLI).
Page 126
Configuring the two management Ethernet interfaces within the same subnet is not supported. NOTE: The management ports are on the front panel of the QFX3500 device. They are labeled C0 and C1 on the front panel. In the CLI they are referred to as (Optional) Configure the static routes to remote prefixes with access to the management port.
Chapter 12: Performing Initial Configuration NOTE: When Telnet is enabled, you cannot log in to a QFX3500 device through Telnet using root credentials. Root login is allowed only for SSH access. Commit the configuration to activate it on the device.
Page 128
NOTE: You do not need to configure your Virtual Chassis into mixed mode if the Virtual Chassis is composed of only QFX3500 and QFX3600 switches or only QFX5110 and QFX5100 switches (which are considered non-mixed Virtual Chassis).
A QFX Series Virtual Chassis can only be set up using QFX series switches configured in standalone mode. For QFX3500 or QFX3600 switches in a Virtual Chassis, you must download the Junos OS image that supports Virtual Chassis—an image that includes “jinstall-qfx-3-” in the filename when the Junos OS image is downloaded from the Software Center.
