ADVANCED FEATURES:

High-Density Fixed Connectivity:

The QFX5200‑32C provides 32 × 100GbE/40GbE QSFP+/QSFP28 ports with flexible breakout options, ideal for high-performance leaf or access deployments. Its compact 1U chassis delivers maximum port density while maintaining low power consumption and cooling efficiency, making it suitable for modern data centres and cloud-scale fabrics. It supports redundant power and fan trays for continuous operation and can seamlessly integrate with existing Juniper fabrics for scalable deployment.

Flexible Port Breakout & Migration:

Each port can break out into 4 × 25GbE or 4 × 10GbE, allowing gradual migration from legacy networks without replacing infrastructure. It supports link aggregation, MC-LAG, and LACP, enabling high-availability connections and redundancy across servers and spine/leaf fabrics. Administrators can also dynamically adjust breakout configurations based on workload needs, and QoS policies can be applied per breakout port for granular traffic management.

Ultra-Low Latency & High Throughput:

Powered by Broadcom Trident 4 silicon, the switch achieves 6.4 Tbps switching capacity and 3.2 Bpps forwarding rate, with latency as low as ~420 ns. Features such as cut-through switching, deep buffering, and congestion management ensure consistent performance for HPC, AI, or latency-sensitive applications. Supports large-scale routing tables (1M IPv4 / 500K IPv6) and hardware queues for prioritised traffic, making it ideal for high-performance fabric environments.

Enhanced Security:

The QFX5200‑32C provides MACsec AES-256 encryption, role-based access control, and control-plane policing, protecting sensitive traffic in multi-tenant or cloud environments. Additional protections include DHCP snooping, storm control, and dynamic ARP inspection, ensuring secure and reliable network operation. Supports advanced ACLs for micro-segmentation and secure management via SSH, SNMPv3, and RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication, enhancing compliance and regulatory security.

Automation & Orchestration:

Supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and integrates with Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and Python, enabling rapid, automated deployment and configuration. Telemetry and structured logging allow administrators to proactively monitor network health and optimize performance. API-driven automation simplifies large-scale fabric management, and policy-driven provisioning ensures consistent configuration across multiple devices.

EVPN-VXLAN & Modern Fabric Support:

Enables scalable L2/L3 overlays, multi-tenancy, and efficient Layer 2/3 segmentation. Supports ARP/ND suppression, per-tenant VRFs, and VXLAN-to-VLAN mapping, simplifying operations in cloud and hyper-scale environments. Optimised for multi-site data centre fabrics and supports seamless workload migration with minimal disruption, ensuring operational continuity.

High Availability & Resiliency:

Dual hot-swappable AC/DC power supplies, redundant fan trays, and support for NSU/ISSU ensure minimal downtime. Flexible airflow options (AFO/AFI) align with diverse data centre cooling strategies. Predictive monitoring of hardware components reduces failure risk, and redundant management paths allow uninterrupted control during maintenance or failures.

Operational Simplicity:

Structured logging, Junos CLI, and modular software design reduce management complexity. Administrators can perform remote upgrades, rollbacks, and real-time monitoring with minimal operational impact. Supports simplified network scaling through MC-LAG and fabric-aware automation, and predefined templates accelerate deployment across multiple racks or sites.

Future-Proof Design:

Supports advanced routing, MPLS, IPv6, and AI-ready networking, making it a robust solution for next-generation cloud and enterprise deployments. Designed to scale efficiently while protecting current infrastructure investments. Provides compatibility with next-gen optics and breakout modules and ready for integration with AI-driven analytics and SDN frameworks, ensuring longevity and adaptability in evolving networks.
