QFX5240 Switch Descripon
The Juniper Networks® QFX5240 Switches are high-density devices that you can use as end-of-row,
leaf or spine devices in an IP fabric architecture. These 2-U xed-conguraon switches oer up to 64
800-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports through two models—the QFX5240-64OD and the QFX5240-64QD.
The QFX5240-64OD oers 64 800-Gbps octal small form factor pluggable (OSFP) ports and 2 10-Gbps
SFP+ ports. The QFX5240-64QD switch has 64 800-Gbps quad small form-factor pluggable - double
density (QSFP-DD) ports and 2 10-Gbps SFP+ ports. With a bandwidth of 51.2 terabits per second
(Tbps), the QFX5240 is an opmal choice for shallow buer plaorms for the spine role in the data
center fabric. The QFX5240 switches use the high-radix class TH5 - BCM78900 chip, which is a
dedicated ASIC for high-bandwidth network switching devices.
An Intel 4-core 2.2-GHz Ice Lake processor drives the QFX5240 control plane, which runs the Junos OS
Evolved soware. The Junos OS Evolved soware image is stored on two internal 480-GB Non-Volale
Memory Express (NVMe) solid-state drives (SSDs).
