QFX3600 Device Overview
The Juniper Networks QFX3600 device is a high-speed, multipurpose switch especially
designed for next-generation data centers. The QFX3600 device can be configured as:
•
A standalone switch
•
A Node device in a QFX3000-M or QFX3000-G QFabric system
•
An Interconnect device in a QFX3000-M QFabric system
•
A member in a QFX Virtual Chassis
•
A leaf node in a QFX5100 Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF)
Sixteen40-Gbps ports in the device use quad small form-factorpluggable plus (QSFP+)
transceivers. The small form-factor and front facing ports in the switch make it suitable
fordeployment in high-density serverracks and container-baseddata center deployments.
In a QFX3000-G QFabric system, the QFX3600 device can operate as a Node device
through the 40-Gbps uplinks ports to a Juniper Networks QFX3008-I Interconnectdevice.
On a QFX3000-M QFabric device, the QFX3600 can be configured to operate as either
a Node device or as a QFX3600-I Interconnectdevice. When configured as a Node device
in a QFX3000-M QFabric system, , the QFX3600 device can connect to either a
QFX3600-I Interconnect device to a QFX5100-24Q through the 40-Gbps uplink
ports.Together, the QFX3600 Node devices and Interconnect devices form a multistage,
nonblocking switch fabric that provides a high-performance, low-latency, unified
interconnect solution for next-generation data centers.
The QFX3600 Node devices and QFX3008-I or QFX3600-I Interconnect devices are
connected to Juniper Networks QFX3100 Director devices in a control plane and
managementnetwork. The QFX3100 Director device presents the QFabric system devices

as a single network entity, allowing for simplified management of your data center using
the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI).
In a QFX Virtual Chassis, the QFX3600 device can participatewith other QFX3600 devices
or QFX3500 devices in a ring topology with up to 10 members.
In a QFX5100 Virtual Chassis Fabric, the QFX3600 device can participate as a leafdevice.
Up to a total of 32 devices can participate in the Virtual Chassis Fabric.

Software
QFX Series devices use the Junos operating system (OS), which provides Layer 2 and
Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services. Junos OS is installed on the QFX3600
device’s 8-gigabyte (GB) internal flash drive. The same Junos OS code base that runs
on QFX Series devices also runs on all Juniper Networks EX Series, J Series, M Series, MX
Series, and T Series devices.
Hardware
For more information about which features are supported on QFX Series devices, see
Feature Explorer.
When the QFX3600 device is operating as a standalone switch, you manage the switch
using the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI), accessible through the console and
out-of-band management ports on the device.
When a QFX Series device operates as part of a QFabric system, all the devices in the
data center fabric are managed through the Administrator software installed on the
QFX3100 Director devices. Each device in a QFabric system is interconnected in a single
control plane and management network, using the redundant management ports on
each device.
The compact QFX3600 chassis is 1 rack unit (1 U) in size and designed to fit in
industry-standard 19-inch rack-mount enclosures, as well as high-density server racks
and container-based data center deployments. See Figure 1 on page 5 and
Figure 2 on page 5 and “Chassis Physical Specifications for QFX3600 and QFX3600-I
Devices” on page 17.

The front panel of the QFX3600 chassis has an LCD panel that displays the device
hostname and the number of active alarms. It also has sixteen 40-Gbps ports labeled
Q0 through Q15 thatsupport quad small form-factorpluggableplus (QSFP+) transceivers.
See “Front Panel of a QFX3600 Device” on page 19.
If you are using the QFX3600 device as a Node device in a QFabric system, by default,
four ports (labeled Q0 through C3) are configured for uplink connections between your
QFX3600 Node device and your Interconnect device, and twelve ports (labeled Q4
through Q15) support 48 10-Gigabit Ethernet or 12 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for
connectionsto either endpoint systems(such as servers and storagedevices)or external
networks.Optionally,you can choose to configure the first eight ports (labeled Q0 through
Q7) for uplink connections between your QFX3600 Node device and your Interconnect
device and ports Q2 through Q15 for 10-Gigabit Ethernet or 40-Gigabit Ethernet
connections to either endpoint systems or external networks. See Configuring the Port
Type on QFX3600 Node Devices and “Determining Interface Support for the QFX3600
Device” on page 55.
If you are using the QFX3600 device as a standalone switch, by default, all 16 QSFP+
ports (Q0 through Q15) are configured as 40-Gigabit Ethernet (xle) ports. Optionally,
you can choose to configure each port to operate as 10-Gigabit Ethernet (xe) ports. Port
00 is unique because the number of ports you can specify as 10-Gigabit Ethernet varies
by Junos OS release. In some Junos OS releases, port 00 has a reserved port and in other

releases, the port is available. See the topics on channelizing interfaces or configuring
the port type for your specific software release.
The rear panel of the QFX3600 chassis has two redundant power supplies and three
redundant fan trays that are field-replaceable and hot-swappable. See “Rear Panel of
QFX3600 and QFX3600-I Devices” on page 21.

Understanding Redundancy of QFX3600 and QFX3600-I Components and Functionality
The following hardware components provide redundancy on QFX3600 and QFX3600-I
devices:
•
Power supplies—QFX3600 and QFX3600-I devices have two power supplies. Each
power supply provides power to all components in the device. The two power supplies
provide full power redundancy to the device. If one power supply fails or is removed,
the second power supply balances the electrical load without interruption.
To provide power redundancy to the system both power supplies must be installed.
Connect power source feed A to one power supply and power source feed B to the
second power supply.
CAUTION: Do not connect feed A and feed B to the same power supply
input terminal.
•
Cooling system—QFX3600and QFX3600-I devices havethree fan trays.If a fan module
on a fan tray fails and is unable to keep the QFX3600 device within the desired
temperature thresholds, chassis alarms occur and the device may shut down.

Understanding QFX Series Virtual Chassis
This topic discusses QFX Series Virtual Chassis. A QFX Series Virtual Chassis is a supported
combination of interconnected QFX3500, QFX3600, QFX5100, QFX5110, and EX4300
switches operating as one logical device and managed as a single chassis. Switches in
a Virtual Chassis are called members of the Virtual Chassis.

QFX Virtual Chassis Overview
A QFX Series Virtual Chassis is a flexible, scaling switch solution for supported
combinationsof QFX3500, QFX3600,QFX5100,and QFX5110 switches. EX4300 switches
can also be included in some configurations of a QFX Series Virtual Chassis..
In a QFX Series Virtual Chassis, you can interconnect up to ten standalone switches in
the following combinations into one logical device, and manage the logical device as a
single chassis:
Chapter 1: System Overview
•
QFX5110 switches or a combination of QFX5110 and QFX5100 switches (a non-mixed
Virtual Chassis)
•
QFX5100 switches (a non-mixed Virtual Chassis)
•
QFX5100 switches with any combinationof QFX3500, QFX3600,or EX4300 switches
(a mixed mode Virtual Chassis)
•
QFX3500switches or QFX3600 switches, or a combination of QFX3500 and QFX3600
switches (a non-mixed Virtual Chassis)
•
QFX3500 or QFX3600 switches with EX4300 switches, or a combination of all three
types of switches (a mixed mode Virtual Chassis)
The advantages of connecting multiple switches into a Virtual Chassis include
better-managed bandwidth at a networklayer, simplified configurationand maintenance
because multiple devices can be managed as a single device, increased fault tolerance
and high availability(HA) because a Virtual Chassis can remain active and network traffic
can be redirected to other member switches when a single member switch fails, and a
flatter, simplified Layer 2 network topology that minimizes or eliminates the need for
loop prevention protocols such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
You set up a Virtual Chassis by configuring Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) on the member
switches, and interconnecting the switches using the VCPs . VCPs are responsible for
passing all data and control traffic between member switches in theVirtual Chassis. The
following ports on QFX Series switches that support Virtual Chassis can be configured
into VCPs to form a QFX Series Virtual Chassis:
•
Any 100-Gbps or 40-Gbps QSFP28 ports on QFX5110 switches
•
Any non-channelized 40-Gbps QSFP+ ports on QFX3500, QFX3600, QFX5100, or
QFX5110 switches
7Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.
QFX3600 Device Hardware Documentation
•
Any fixed 10-Gbps SFP+ ports on QFX Series switches with these ports
See EX4300 Switches Hardware Overview for details on the ports on an EX4300 switch
that can be configured into VCPs in a QFX Series Virtual Chassis.
You can increase VCP bandwidth between member switches by configuring multiple
interfaces between the same two switches into VCPs. When multiple VCPs interconnect
the same two member switches, a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) or bundle is
automatically formed when the VCPs are on interfaces supporting identical speeds. For
example, if you have two 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces configured as VCPs between
member switches, a LAG with two member links with 80Gbps of total bandwidth is
formed. However, 10-Gbps SFP+ and 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces configured as VCPs
will not become members of the same VCP LAG.
QFX5110 Switches in a Virtual Chassis
Starting in Junos OS Release 17.3R1, Virtual Chassis is supported on QFX5110 switches.
You can interconnect up to ten QFX5110 switches or a combination of QFX5110 and
