QFX5700 Series Ethernet Switches

The QFX5700 series leverages a fully programmable chipset to deliver advanced Layer 2, Layer 3, and EVPN-VXLAN capabilities across a wide range of data center and campus use cases. Designed for maximum versatility, the platform supports Data Center Fabric Spine, EVPN-VXLAN fabrics, Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and Secure DCI, multitier campus architectures, campus IP fabrics, and seamless integration of firewall clusters into the data center fabric. With flexible interface options for server and intrafabric connectivity, the QFX5700 ensures deployment agility and long-term investment protection.

Engineered for modern environments, the QFX5700 is ideal for large public cloud and service providers facing massive workload growth, offering dense, high-performance 400GbE IP fabrics built on proven Internet-scale technology. Enterprises transitioning from 10GbE to 25GbE also benefit from a high-radix 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN spine option that delivers powerful performance with reduced power consumption and space requirements. With 25.6 Tbps of bidirectional bandwidth, the QFX5700 is purpose-built for spine-and-leaf architectures in enterprise, cloud, HPC, and service provider data centers.

Features + Benefits

Data Packet Timestamping

Enables precise timestamping of select packets using the recovered PTP clock. Timestamp data can be mirrored to monitoring tools to identify latency sources and network bottlenecks.

Junos OS Evolved Architecture

Runs on a modular, Linux-based OS that isolates system functions into independent components. This architecture allows individual components to be upgraded or restarted without taking the entire system offline, improving resilience and service continuity.

Advanced Network Automation

Supports intent-based automation, Python scripting, Puppet, Ansible, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), simplifying Day 0 through Day 2+ operations and reducing operational complexity.
