Flexible deployment options and rich automation features for data center and campus deployments
Up to 1.76 Tbps wire-speed switching with low latency and jitter, along with full Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance.
Support for Python, Puppet, Ansible, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) helps you address growing network complexity.
EVPN/VXLAN Layer 2 and Layer 3 gateway support for data center deployments.
Automation
The QFX5110 switches support a number of features for network automation and plug-and-play operations. Features include zero touch provisioning, operations and event scripts, automatic rollback, and Python scripting. The switch also supports integration with VMware NSX Layer 2 Gateway Services, and OpenStack.)
Flexible Forwarding Table
The QFX5110 includes a Unified Forwarding Table (UFT), which allows the hardware table to be carved into configurable partitions of Layer 2 media access control (MAC), Layer 3 host, and longest prefix match (LPM) tables.
Intelligent Buffer Management
The QFX5110 switches have a total of 16 MB shared buffers. While 25% of the total buffer space is dedicated, the rest is shared among all ports and is user configurable. The intelligent buffer mechanism in the QFX5110 effectively absorbs traffic bursts while providing deterministic performance, significantly increasing performance over static allocation.
