Installing a QSFP28 Transceiver
The transceivers for Juniper Networks devices are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable
units (FRUs). You can remove and replace them without powering off the device or disrupting the device
functions.
NOTE: After you insert a transceiver or after you change the media-type configuration, wait for
6 seconds for the interface to display operational commands.
NOTE: We recommend that you use only optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased
from Juniper Networks with your Juniper Networks device.
