QFX5110 Models Overview
The QFX5110 line of switches offers two compact 1 U models that are ideal for top-of-rack,
QFX Virtual Chassis, or Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) deployments, the 48-port
QFX5110-48S and the 32-port QFX5110-32Q. Performance of the control plane running
on all the QFX5110 switches is enhanced by the 1.8-Ghz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB
of memory and 64 GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage. Both models offer flexible port
configurations of 1-Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and
100-Gigabit Ethernet.
Both models can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow and with
AC or DC power supplies.
The QFX5110-32Q can be used as:
•
A standalone switch.
•
A master, backup, or line card in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis.
