A QFX5100 VCF uses QFX5100 devices as spines or leaf devices. You can also use QFX3500, QFX3600,
and EX4300 models as leaf devices in a QFX5100 VCF.
Whenever possible, configure the QFX5100-24Q as the spine device in a QFX5100 VCF. You can use
the QFX5100-48S as the spine in an all QFX5100-48S VCF or when EX4300 devices are used as leaf
devices.

QFX5100-48SH
As shown in Figure 7 on page 24, the QFX5100-48SH is the same form factor and port configuration
as the QFX5100-48S. The QFX5100-48SH is specifically designed for Juniper Networks Cloud Data
Center and comes pre-configured with Satellite Network Operational System (SNOS) instead of Juniper
Networks Junos OS. The switch may not be converted to Junos OS without an additional license. The
switch can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow and with AC power supplies.
The QFX5100-48SH can only be used as a satellite device in a Junos Fusion system.

QFX5100-48T
As shown in Figure 8 on page 25, the QFX5100-48T is a tri-speed 100/1000/10GBASE-T top-of-rack
switch with 48 10GBASE-T access ports and 6 QSFP+ ports. Each 40-Gigabit QSFP+ port (48 through
53) can operate either as uplink ports or four QSFP+ ports (50 through 53) can operate at native
40-Gigabit port or be channelized into 4 independent 10 Gigabit ports. The 6 QSFP+ ports can be used
as either access ports or as uplinks. The QFX5100-48T provides full duplex throughput of 720 Gbps.
The QFX5100-48T has a 1 U form factor and comes standard with redundant fans and redundant power
supplies. The switch can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow and with AC or
DC power supplies.
