Description
Product overview of Juniper QFX5100-48S-3AFI
The QFX5100-48S-3AFI is a high-performance, Layer 3 manageable switch from Juniper Networks. This switch is designed to meet the growing demands of modern data centers and enterprise networks. With 54 expansion slots and advanced features, the QFX5100-48S-3AFI provides a reliable and scalable networking solution for organizations of all sizes.
Layer 3 Management
The QFX5100-48S-3AFI is a Layer 3 switch, which means it can route traffic between different networks. This capability allows organizations to build complex networks with multiple subnets, VLANs, and routing protocols. Layer 3 management also provides advanced features such as access control lists (ACLs), Quality of Service (QoS), and network address translation (NAT). These features help organizations to prioritize traffic, control access, and secure their networks.
54 Expansion Slots
The QFX5100-48S-3AFI has 48 fixed 10GbE SFP+ ports and 6 fixed 40GbE QSFP+ ports. In addition, it has 54 expansion slots that can be used to add more ports or other network modules. This flexibility allows organizations to customize the switch to meet their specific networking requirements. For example, they can add more 10GbE or 40GbE ports, or they can add modules for power over Ethernet (PoE), fiber connectivity, or storage.
Advanced Features
The QFX5100-48S-3AFI supports a range of advanced features that enhance network performance, reliability, and security. For example, it supports Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology, which allows up to 10 switches to be interconnected and managed as a single logical device. This simplifies network management and improves scalability. The switch also supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which allows multiple links to be aggregated into a single logical link for higher bandwidth and redundancy.
The QFX5100-48S-3AFI also supports Juniper’s Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) technology, which enables the switch to be part of a larger fabric that can span multiple data centers. This provides a high-performance and scalable networking solution for organizations with geographically dispersed locations. In addition, the switch supports Junos Fusion technology, which allows multiple switches to be managed as a single logical device.
The QFX5100-48S-3AFI has a range of advanced security features that help organizations to protect their networks from threats. For example, it supports MACsec encryption, which provides secure communication between network devices. It also supports sFlow, which enables network administrators to monitor network traffic and detect anomalies or suspicious behavior. The switch also supports Juniper’s Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI), which provides real-time network telemetry data that can be used for troubleshooting, monitoring, and optimization.
In summary, the QFX5100-48S-3AFI is a high-performance, Layer 3 manageable switch from Juniper Networks that provides a reliable and scalable networking solution for organizations of all sizes. With 54 expansion slots and advanced features such as Virtual Chassis, Virtual Chassis Fabric, and MACsec encryption, the QFX5100-48S-3AFI is an ideal choice for modern data centers and enterprise networks. Whether you need to build a complex network with multiple subnets and VLANs or you need to secure your network from threats, the QFX5100-48S-3AFI has the features and flexibility you need.
