Juniper QFX3500-48S4Q-ACR QFX Series managed rack-mountable switch The Juniper Networks QFX3500-48S4Q-ACR device is a high-speed, multipurpose switch especially designed for next-generation data centers. The QFX3500 can be configured as a standalone switch, a Node device in a QFabric system, or as a member of a QFX Virtual Chassis. Forty-eight 10-Gbps access ports in the device use small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceivers and operate by default as 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Optionally, you can choose to configure up to 12 of the ports as 2-Gbps, 4-Gbps, or 8-Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces, and up to 36 of the ports as 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. When used as a standalone switch, four 40-Gbps uplink ports in the device use quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) to four SFP+ copper breakout cables to support an additional 15 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. QFX3500 devices can function as a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-FC gateway or as an FCoE transit switch. FCoE is a method of supporting converged FC and Ethernet traffic on a data center bridging (DCB) network by encapsulating unmodified FC frames in Ethernet to transport the FC frames over the physical Ethernet network. In a QFabric system, a QFX3500 device functions as a Node device, connected to a QFabric system through 40-Gbps uplink ports to a Juniper Networks QFX3008-I or QFX3600-I Interconnect device. Together, the QFX3500 Node devices and QFX3008-I or QFX3600-I Interconnect devices form a multistage, nonblocking switch fabric that provides a high-performance, low-latency, unified interconnect solution for next-generation data centers. The QFX3500 Node devices and Interconnect devices are connected to Juniper Networks QFX3100 Director devices in an out-of-band management network through Juniper Networks EX4200 Ethernet Switches. The QFX3100 Director devices present the QFabric system devices as a single network entity, which enables simplified management of your data center using the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI). In a QFX Virtual Chassis, the QFX3500 device can participate with other QFX3500 devices and QFX3600 devices in a ring topology with up to 10 members. In a QFX5100 Virtual Chassis Fabric, the QFX3500 device can participate as a leaf device. Up to a total of 20 devices can participate in the QFX5100 Virtual Chassis Fabric. Hardware:The compact QFX3500 device is 1 rack unit (1 U) in size and designed to fit in industry-standard 19-inch rack-mount enclosures.The front panel of the QFX3500 chassis has an LCD panel that displays the device hostname and the number of active alarms. See Front Panel of a QFX3500 Device. The rear panel has 48 10-Gbps access ports and 4 40-Gbps uplink ports. See Rear Panel of a QFX3500 Device. Up to 48 of the access ports can be used for SFP+ transceivers or SFP+ direct attach copper cables. You can use 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ transceivers and SFP+ direct attach copper cables in any access port. You can use 2-Gbps, 4-Gbps, or 8-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ transceivers in ports 0 through 5 and ports 42 through 47. Up to 36 of the access ports can be used for SFP transceivers. Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers can be used in ports 6 through 41. QSFP+ Uplink PortsThe QFX3500 device has four uplink ports (Q0 through Q3) that support up to four QSFP+ transceivers, as well as QSFP+ DAC or DAC breakout cables. See Determining Interface Support for the QFX3500 Device. When the QFX3500 device is used as part of a QFabric system, these uplink ports are used to connect the QFX3500 Node device to QFX3008-I or QFX3600-I Interconnect devices. See Connecting a QFX3500 Node Device to a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device or Connecting a QFX3500 Node Device to a QFX3600-I Interconnect Device. When the QFX3500 device is used as a standalone switch, these uplink ports are configured by default as 15 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Another option for these ports is to configure one or more of the ports as 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.   Technical SpecificationsCabinetChassis Built-in Devices : Status LCDInterface ProvidedConnector Type : QSFPQty : 4Connector Type : RJ-45Qty : 2Connector Type : SFP+Qty : 48Qty : 1Type : USB NetworkingAdvanced Switching : Layer 3Compliant Standards : IEEE 802.1ab (LLDP), IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.1p, IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1s, IEEE 802.1w, IEEE 802.3ad (LACP), IEEE 802.3xFeatures : ARP support, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), Data Center Bridging (DCB), DHCP support, Front to back airflow, IGMP snooping, IP address filtering, IPv4 support, Jumbo Frames support, LACP support, Layer 2 switching, Layer 3 switching, LLDP support, Low-latency queuing (LLQ), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) support, Quality of Service (QoS), RADIUS support, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) support, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) support, SSH support, VLAN support, Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED)Form Factor : Rack-mountableForm Factor : Rack-mountableJumbo Frame Support : 9216 bytesMAC Address Table Size : 96K entriesManageable : YesRemote Management Protocol : CLI, SNMP 1, SNMP 2, SNMP 3, SSH, SSH-2, TelnetRouting Protocol : BGP, IGMP, IGMPv2, IGMPv3, MSDP, OSPF, Static IPv4 routing, VRRPStatus Indicators : LCD displaySubcategory : Network hubs and switchesSubtype : 10 Gigabit EthernetType : Switch MiscellaneousAuthentication Method : RADIUS, TACACS+Compliant Standards : BSMI CNS 13438, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1, EN 60825-1, EN 60950-1, EN55022 Class A, FCC CFR47, FCC Part 15 B Class A, IEC 60950-1, NEBS level 3, REACH, RoHS, UL 60950-1, VCCI Class A ITE, WEEEHeight (Rack Units) : 1 Environmental ParametersHumidity Range Operating : 5 - 90% (non-condensing)Humidity Range Storage : 0 - 95% (non-condensing)Max Operating Temperature : 104 °FMax Storage Temperature : 158 °FMin Operating Temperature : 32 °FMin Storage Temperature : -40 °F HeaderBrand : JuniperCompatibility : PCManufacturer : NetscreenModel : QFX3500 SwitchPackaged Quantity : 1Product Line : Juniper QFX Series Power DeviceHot-Plug : Hot-plugInstalled Qty : 2Max Supported Qty : 2Nominal Voltage : AC 120/230 VPower Redundancy : YesPower Redundancy Scheme : 1+1Type : Internal power supply ServiceSupport Details Full Contract Period : 1 yearSupport Details Type : Limited warranty Dimensions & WeightDepth : 28 inHeight : 1.8 inWeight : 30.86 lbsWidth : 17.2 in Service & SupportType : 1-year warranty PerformanceType : Switching capacityValue : 960 MbpsType : ThroughputValue : 1.28 Tbps PortsQty : 48Type : SFP+/SFPPorts (2nd)Qty : 4Type : QSFP
