    Hello Team, 

     

    Just had a query on Juniper data center QFX series switches >> 

     

    Does Juniper support 10/25G SFP ? 

    If yes, then Does Juniper QFX serires have the dual rate SFP !

    Yes, with the now shipping QFX5200-48y.  The QFX5200-32C could also be broken out to 4 x 25GE or set as 40GE and broken out to 4 x 10GE.  As for QFX5200-48y:

     

    • QFX5200-48Y: This 1 U 48x25GbE switch has 6x100GbE uplink ports for connecting to the spine, making it an ideal choice for 25GbE access or leaf deployments with a 100GbE spine. Additionally, it’s backward compatible, as 25GbE access ports can be configured to 10GbE, and the 100GbE uplink ports can be configured to 40GbE.

    There will be another 10/25 GE native switch coming out later in 2018, the QFX5120-48y, and then a similar form factor, the EX4650-48y.

     

    y = 25GE natively capable.  The default operation is 10GE.  There is a setting to convert ports to 25GE in groups of 4 ports.
