ADVANCED FEATURES:

EVPN-VXLAN for Cloud-Scale Overlays:

The QFX5130-32CD is engineered for next-generation data centre fabrics with full support for EVPN-VXLAN, enabling scalable multi-tenant overlays that extend Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks across thousands of endpoints. This provides seamless workload mobility, network segmentation, and simplified interconnection between private, public, and hybrid clouds. EVPN-VXLAN reduces operational complexity while enhancing agility in cloud-native and containerised environments.

MPLS, Segment Routing (SR-MPLS, SRv6), and Advanced Traffic Engineering:

The switch integrates comprehensive service provider capabilities with MPLS and Segment Routing support. SR-MPLS and SRv6 simplify traffic engineering by allowing flexible path control without traditional signalling protocols, reducing state in the network. Enterprises and carriers benefit from highly deterministic forwarding paths, enhanced scalability, and optimised resource utilisation across metro and backbone infrastructures.

Line-Rate MACsec AES-256 Encryption Across All Ports:

Security is embedded at the hardware level with IEEE 802.1AE MACsec AES-256 encryption supported on every 400GbE interface. This delivers uncompromising line-rate encryption without sacrificing performance, protecting sensitive traffic across data centres, interconnects, and service provider backbones. The solution is ideal for regulated industries such as finance, government, and healthcare, where data privacy and compliance are mandatory.

High Availability and Fault Tolerance at Scale:

The QFX5130-32CD is designed for five-nines availability, with dual hot-swappable AC/DC power supplies, redundant fan trays, and continuous software operations. Advanced resiliency features include In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU), Nonstop Routing (NSR), and Graceful Restart, ensuring minimal downtime during planned or unplanned maintenance events. This makes it highly suited for mission-critical cloud, financial, and carrier deployments.

Advanced Telemetry and Observability:

Equipped with streaming telemetry using gRPC, gNMI, and OpenConfig, the QFX5130-32CD delivers millisecond-level network state information. Unlike traditional SNMP polling, telemetry streams continuous, structured data to monitoring platforms, enabling real-time visibility, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics. This is essential for intent-based networking and AI-driven operations (AIOps).

Automation and Zero-Touch Orchestration:

Junos® OS enables deep programmability and automation, offering support for NETCONF, RESTCONF, Python, Ansible, and Puppet. With Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP), large-scale deployments can be rolled out automatically with consistent configurations and policies. Operators can accelerate service delivery, reduce configuration errors, and simplify lifecycle management.

Flexible Port Breakout and Migration Options:

Each 400GbE QSFP-DD interface can be configured as multiple lower-speed interfaces, including 4 × 100GbE, 8 × 50GbE, or 8 × 25GbE. This flexibility provides smooth migration from 100GbE environments to 400GbE fabrics, preserving existing investments while preparing for future scale. It allows enterprises and service providers to adapt capacity based on evolving application demands.

Precision Time Synchronisation (PTP IEEE 1588):

The QFX5130-32CD supports Precision Time Protocol (PTP), providing nanosecond-level clock accuracy across distributed systems. This is vital for financial trading platforms, 5G mobile deployments, broadcast streaming networks, and industrial IoT environments that rely on deterministic latency and accurate timing.

Cloud-Optimised Spine and Leaf Architecture:

Designed for leaf, spine, and super-spine roles, the switch provides highly efficient east-west traffic handling in hyperscale data centres. Its compact 1RU footprint supports massive port density without increasing rack space or power requirements, making it ideal for private cloud operators, hyperscalers, and multi-tenant hosting environments.

Secure Boot and Trusted Platform:

The switch features cryptographically signed software image verification, ensuring only validated and authentic firmware is executed. This prevents supply chain tampering and protects against cyberattacks targeting device boot-up sequences. Combined with role-based access control, ACLs, and centralised authentication (RADIUS/TACACS+/LDAP), it provides an enterprise-grade trust model.

Integrated Monitoring and Analytics:

The QFX5130-32CD offers deep visibility into traffic flows, buffer utilisation, and per-port performance statistics. Integrated with Juniper’s Paragon Automation Suite and compatible with third-party observability platforms, it enables advanced troubleshooting, SLA assurance, and predictive capacity planning.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency:

The switch is built for eco-efficient operations with front-to-back and back-to-front airflow options that align with modern data centre cooling strategies. Its high port density reduces the number of devices required per rack, lowering overall power consumption and footprint. This makes it a sustainable choice for operators aiming to reduce operational costs while meeting green IT targets.
