Juniper Networks Books publishes books by Juniper Networks engineers and subject matter experts. These books go beyond the technical documentation to explore the nuances of network architecture, deployment, and administration. The current list can be viewed at https://www.juniper.net/books.

Using the Examples in This Manual

If you want to use the examples in this manual, you can use the load merge or the load merge relative command. These commands cause the software to merge the incoming configuration into the current candidate configuration. The example does not become active until you commit the candidate configuration.
If the example configuration contains the top level of the hierarchy (or multiple hierarchies), the example is a full example. In this case, use the load merge command.
If the example configuration does not start at the top level of the hierarchy, the example is a snippet. In this case, use the load merge relative command. These procedures are described in the following sections.

Merging a Full Example

To merge a full example, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration example into a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following configuration to a file and name the file ex-script.conf. Copy the ex-script.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
system {
scripts {
commit {
file ex-script.xsl;
}
} } interfaces {
fxp0 {
disable; unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
} }
xi
2. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge configuration mode command:
[edit] user@host# load merge /var/tmp/ex-script.conf load complete

Merging a Snippet

To merge a snippet, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration snippet into a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following snippet to a file and name the file ex-script-snippet.conf. Copy the ex-script-snippet.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
commit {
file ex-script-snippet.xsl; }
2. Move to the hierarchy level that is relevant for this snippet by issuing the following configuration mode command:
[edit] user@host# edit system scripts [edit system scripts]
xii
3. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge relative configuration mode command:
[edit system scripts] user@host# load merge relative /var/tmp/ex-script-snippet.conf load complete
For more information about the load command, see CLI Explorer.

QFX5200 line of switches offer compact 1 U models that provide a line rate configuration packet performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Layer 3 features.
QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L Hardware
The QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L are compact 1 U standalone switches that provides a line rate configuration packet performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Layer 3 features. The routing engine and control plane are driven by the 1.8 Ghz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB of memory and two 32 GB solid-state drives (SSD) for storage. The QFX5200-32C models run standard Junos Operating System (OS); the QFX5200-32C-L models run Junos OS Evolved.
19
As shown in Figure 1 on page 19, the QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L are 100 Gigabit Ethernet top-of-rack switches that support both quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP+), 100-Gbps QSFP+ (QSFP28) transceivers, and break out cables in the 32 QSFP28 sockets. The ports 0 through 31 can be configured as either uplinks or as access ports. The QSFP28 ports are configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports by default, but can also be configured to speeds of 50, 40, 25, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet.
The QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L comes standard with redundant fans and redundant power supplies. Switches can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow. The QFX5200-32C is available with AC or DC power supplies; the QFX5200-32C-L is available only with AC power supplies.
Figure 1: QFX5200-32C Port Panel
The QFX5200-32C-L is supported as a standalone switch (Junos OS Evolved Release 18.3R1 and later).
The QFX5200-32C can be used as:
A standalone switch (Junos OS Release 15.1X53-D30 and later).
A member in an all QFX5200-32C Virtual Chassis (Junos OS Release 17.3R2 and later).
g050901
You can create an all QFX5200-32C Virtual Chassis with up to three members. The QFX5200-32C is used in all three member roles: primary RE, backup RE, and line card.
A satellite device in a Junos Fusion Provider Edge system (Junos OS Release 18.1R2 and later). A switch
in standalone mode must be converted to a satellite device.
QFX5200-48Y Hardware
The QFX5200-48Y is a flexible switch for environments with the need for native 25 Gbps port speeds. The 48 small form-factor pluggable 28 (SFP28) ports support 10 Gbps or native 25 Gbps speeds, and the 6 QSFP28 support either 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps speeds. The 48 SFP28 default to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and must be configured in groups of four ports to support 25 Gigabit Ethernet. You can alternate each group of four ports with either 10 Gbps or 25 Gbps across the 48 ports. For details on configuring the SFP28 ports, see “Port Groups” on page 30.
The 6 QSFP28 ports auto-detect the optic speed of transceivers and set the port speed accordingly. The six QSFP28 ports can be channelized when configured to 40 Gigabit Ethernet to 4 independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
20
The routing engine and control plane of the switch are driven by the 2.20 Ghz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB of memory and a 32 GB solid-state drive (SSD) for storage. The QFX5200-48Y provides an aggregate throughput of 3.6 Tbps (full duplex).
As shown in Figure 2 on page 20, the QFX5200-48Y has a 1 U form factor and comes standard with redundant fans and redundant power supplies. The switch can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow and with AC or DCpower supplies.
The QFX5200-48Y is supported on Junos OS Release 18.1R1 and later.
Figure 2: QFX5200-48Y Port Panel
Benefits of QFX5200 Switches
QFX5200 switches offer:
Future proof and investment protection
Open and standards based for multi-vendor networks
Support for Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for simplified operation
QFX5200-32C Channelization
Starting in Junos OS Release 17.3R1, ports are channelized automatically by detecting the cable type. The mode and number of channels are set based on the channel link status:
When the port is configured for 40-Gigabit Ethernet and a 4x10G breakout cable is detected, the system
converts the port into 4 independent 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports
When the port is configured for 100-Gigabit Ethernet and a 2x50G breakout cable is detected, the
system converts the port into 2 independent 50-Gigabit Ethernet ports
When the port is configured for 100-Gigabit Ethernet and a 4x25G breakout cable is detected, the
system converts the port into 4 independent 25-Gigabit Ethernet ports
QFX5200-32C-L Channelization
21
Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 18.3R1, ports can be channelized by configuration.
When the port is configured for 40-Gigabit Ethernet and a 4x10G breakout cable is detected, the system
converts the port into 4 independent 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports
When the port is configured for 100-Gigabit Ethernet and a 4x25G breakout cable is detected, the
system converts the port into 4 independent 25-Gigabit Ethernet ports
QFX5200-48Y Channelization
When one of the 6 QSFP28 ports are configured for 40-Gigabit Ethernet and a 4x10G breakout cable is detected, the system converts the port into 4 independent 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Channelization is not supported on the 48 SFP28 ports.
System Software
Customers who purchase a QFX5200-32C or QFX5200-48Y may either enable the Junos OS by purchasing a Junos OS Base Services license. Customers purchasing a QFX5200-32C-L enable Junos OS Evolved by purchasing a Junos OS Evolved Base Services license.
QFX Series devices use the Junos OS, which provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services. The Junos image is installed on one of the 32 GB solid state drives.The Junos OS Evolved software running on the QFX5200-32C-L does not support Layer 2 features.
For more information about which features are supported on QFX Series devices, see Feature Explorer.
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.

QFX5200 Component Redundancy

The following hardware components provide redundancy on a QFX5200 switch:
Power supplies—The QFX5200 switches have one or two power supplies. Each power supply provides
power to all components in the switch. If two power supplies are installed, 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—The QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L switch models have five fan modules. The
QFX5200-48Y switch models has six fan modules. If a fan module fails and is unable to keep the QFX5200 switch within the desired temperature thresholds, chassis alarms occur and the QFX5200 switch can shut down.

QFX5200 Field-Replaceable Units

24
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are components that you can replace at your site. The QFX5200 device FRUs are hot-insertable and hot-removable: you can remove and replace one of them without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.
CAUTION: Replace a failed power supply with a new power supply within one minute
of removal to prevent chassis overheating. The switch continues to operate with only one power supply running. Replace a failed fan module with a new fan module within one minute of removal to prevent chassis overheating. Do not operate the switch with missing FRUs for longer than one minute.
Table 4 on page 24 lists the FRUs for the QFX5200 device and actions to take before removing them.

None.Power supplies
None.Fan modules
Optical transceivers
None. We recommend that you disable the interface using the set interfaces interface-name disable command before you remove the transceiver. See
“Disconnect a Fiber-Optic Cable” on page 143
NOTE: If you have a Juniper Care service contract, register any addition, change, or upgrade of
hardware components at https://www.juniper.net/customers/support/tools/updateinstallbase/ . Failure to do so can result in significant delays if you need replacement parts. This note does not apply if you replace existing components with the same type of component.

to provide either 40 Gigabit Ethernet or 4x10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Channelizing Interfaces
For downstream traffic, the QFX5200-32C has 32 physical or 128 logical ports (32 x 4) that can be used for port channelization. The 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports can be channelized using breakout cables either to 2 independent downstream 50 Gigabit Ethernet or to 4 independent 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The default 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports can also be configured as 40 Gigabit Ethernet and in this configuration can either operate as dedicated 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports or can be channelized to 4 independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports using breakout cables.
The QFX5200-32C ports support auto-channelization starting in Junos OS Release 15.1X53-D230.
The QFX5200-32C-L does not support channelization.
Network Port LEDs

You remove and replace a fan module from the FRU end of the chassis. The switch continues to operate for a limited period of time (30 seconds) during the replacement of the fan module without thermal shutdown.
The fan modules are available in four product SKUs that have different airflow directions—FRU-to-port airflow and port-to-FRU airflow On legacy switches or switches with LCDs, this airflow is also called front-to-back and back-to-front. Table 17 on page 46 lists the available fan module product SKUs and the direction of airflow in them:
NOTE: All fan modules must be installed for optimal operation of the switch.

Do Not Install Components with Different Airflow or Wattage in the Switch
49
Do not mix power supplies with different airflow. If the power supplies are color-coded, ensure they are either all match. Likewise, ensure that all fan modules have the same airflow and match the airflow of the power supplies. Fan modules are also color-coded that match the power supplies.
Mixing components with different airflows in the same chassis hampers the performance of the cooling system of the switch and leads to overheating of the chassis.
CAUTION: The system raises an alarm if a fan module fails or if the ambient
temperature inside the chassis rises above the acceptable range. If the temperature inside the chassis rises above the threshold temperature, the system shuts down automatically.
Do not mix fan modules with different wattage. Only use the replacement fan modules that are designed for use with your product number. See Table 17 on page 46 for the correct part number for your QFX5200 device.
CAUTION: Do not mix AC and DC power supplies in the same QFX5200-32C or
QFX5200-32C-L chassis. You may mix AC and DC power supplies in the same QFX5200-48Y chassis, but the fans and power supplies must have the same airflow direction. Also note that load sharing is not the same for AC and DC power supplies.
However if you need to convert a QFX5200 device to have a different airflow, you can change the airflow pattern. To convert an AIR IN product SKU to an AIR OUT product SKU or an AIR OUT product SKU to
a AIR IN product SKU, you must replace all of the fans and power supplies at one time to use the new direction. The system raises an alarm when the system is converted, which is normal.

QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L Fan Module LED

On the QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L switches the fan module LEDs are located on the chassis next to the fan module slot. QFX5200-48Y fan modules do not have LED indicators. Figure 22 on page 50 shows the location of the fan module LEDs next to the fan module on a QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L switch.

The fan module is operating normally. The system has verified that the module is engaged, that the airflow is in the correct direction, and that the fan is operating correctly.
An error has been detected in the fan module. Replace the fan module as soon as possible. Either the fan has failed or it is seated incorrectly. To maintain proper airflow through the chassis, leave the fan module installed in the chassis until you are ready to replace it.
Under normal operating conditions, the fan modules operate at a moderate speed. Temperature sensors in the chassis monitor the temperature within the chassis.
The system raises an alarm if a fan module fails or if the ambient temperature inside the chassis rises above the acceptable range. If the temperature inside the chassis rises above the threshold temperature, the
system shuts down automatically. Use the show chassis fan and on Junos OS Evolved systems the show system alarms operational CLI command. For example:

QFX5200 AC Power Supply Description

The two power supplies in QFX5200 are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs). The power supplies are installed in the switch at the factory. You can install replacement power supplies from the management panel without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function. QFX5200 switches can operate with one PSU, but two power supplies are required to run without error messages and to have redundancy. See Figure 23 on page 53 and Figure 24 on page 53 for examples of QFX5200 AC power supplies.
The AC power supply in QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L switches is 850 W; the AC power supply in QFX5200-48Y switches is 650 W. Be sure to use the correct power supply for your chassis product SKU (see Table 19 on page 54).
CAUTION: Do not mix power supplies with different airflow or different wattage. The
system raises an alarm when a power supply having a different airflow or wattage is inserted into the chassis.
You may mix AC and DC power supplies with the same airflow in QFX5200-48Y, but load sharing is different between the two designs.

The power supply provides FRU-to-port or port-to-FRU airflow depending on the product SKU you purchase. The power supplies have color-coded indicators to indicate the airflow direction. Either the PSU handle or the panel behind the handle are color-coded. See Figure 25 on page 53 for an example of the QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L power supplies and Table 19 on page 54 to determine the airflow of the PSU.

and QFX5200-32C-L
CAUTION: Verify that the airflow direction on the power supply handle matches the
direction of airflow in the chassis. Ensure that each power supply you install in the chassis has the same airflow direction. If you install power supplies with two different airflow directions, Junos OS raises an alarm. If you need to convert the airflow pattern on a chassis, you must change out all the fans and power supplies at one time to use the new direction.

You can deploy QFX Series switches as members in three types of Virtual Chassis:
QFX Virtual Chassis (QFX3500, QFX3600, QFX5100, and EX4300)
QFX5110 Virtual Chassis (QFX5110 and QFX5100)
QFX5200 Virtual Chassis (QFX5200-32C only)
QFX Virtual Chassis and QFX5110 Virtual Chassis allow you to interconnect a mixture of up to ten switches into one logical device and manage the device as a single chassis. QFX5200 Virtual Chassis is limited to three QFX5200-32C members.
A Virtual Chassis configuration has two Routing Engines—the primary switch and the backup switch. All other participating switches operate as line cards. You create a Virtual Chassis by cabling the switches in a ring topology and configuring SFP+, QSFP+, or QSFP28 interfaces into Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs). VCPs are responsible for passing all data and control traffic between member switches in the Virtual Chassis. All non-channelized QSFP28 or QSFP+ uplink interfaces on the switches can be configured into VCPs. All fixed SFP+ interfaces can also be configured into VCPs.
68
All members of the Virtual Chassis are required to run the same Junos OS Release. You can check the version and release by issuing the show chassis version CLI command.

QFX5200 Environmental Requirements and Specifications

The switch must be installed in a rack or cabinet. It must be housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.
Follow these environmental guidelines:
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing the
efficiency of the switch cooling system.
73
Maintain ambient airflow for normal switch operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, the switch might overheat, leading to the switch temperature monitor shutting down the device to protect the hardware components.
Table 29 on page 73 provides the required environmental conditions for normal switch operation.

To plan and create an acceptable operating environment for your device and prevent environmentally caused equipment failures:
Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conductive material, such as metal flakes.
Follow prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions properly and that
exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the device.
Follow the prescribed electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention procedures to prevent damaging the
equipment. Static discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.
Install the device in a secure area, so that only authorized personnel can access the device.

QFX5200 Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications

To ground a QFX5200, connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis protective earthing terminals. See “Connect the QFX5200 to Earth Ground” on page 113.
WARNING: To comply with GR-1089 requirements, all intra-building copper cabling
used for SFP+ and QSFP+ ports must be shielded and grounded at both ends.
CAUTION: Before switch installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach a cable
lug to the grounding cables that you supply. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch.
Before connecting the switch to earth ground, review the following information:
The grounding lug required for a QFX5200-32C or a QFX5200-32C-L is a Panduit LCD10-10A-L or
equivalent (not provided). The grounding lug should accommodates 14–10 AWG (2–5.3 mm²) stranded wire. The grounding lug required for a QFX5200-48Y is tin-plated brass 4.3 mm ring terminal that supports 18–14 AWG (0.8-2 mm²) and an M4 screw.
The grounding cable that you provide for a QFX5200 must be 14 AWG (2 mm²), minimum 90° C wire,
or as permitted by the local code. If you are using the alternate method of grounding the chassis on a
QFX5200-32C-DC system, the recommended grounding cable is 12 AWG (2.5 mm²) standard wire, 90°

For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. See
“QFX5200 Cooling System Description” on page 43 for more information about the airflow through the
chassis.
If you are mounting a QFX5200 in a rack or cabinet with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from
other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the QFX5200. For service personnel to remove
and install hardware components, you must leave adequate space at the front and back of the switch. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack or cabinet.

QFX5200 Rack Requirements

QFX5200 switches are designed to be installed on four-post racks.
Rack requirements consist of:
Rack type
Mounting bracket hole spacing
Rack size and strength
Table 32 on page 79 provides the rack requirements and specifications for the QFX5200.
Table 32: Rack Requirements for the QFX5200
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Rack type
Mounting bracket hole spacing
Use a four-post rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or
4.45 cm) increments and that meets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association.
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm), so that the switch can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
Table 32: Rack Requirements for the QFX5200 (continued)
GuidelinesRack Requirement
80
Rack size and strength
Ensure that the rack complies with the standards for a 19-in. or 23-in. rack as defined in
Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association.
A 600-mm rack as defined in the four-part Equipment Engineering (EE); European
telecommunications standard for equipment practice (document numbers ETS 300 119-1 through 119-4) published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (href="http://www.etsi.org">http://www.etsi.org).
The horizontal spacing between the rails in a rack that complies with this standard is usually wider than the device's mounting brackets, which measure 19 in. (48.26 cm) from outer edge to outer edge. Use approved wing devices to narrow the opening between the rails as required.
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the switch chassis’
external dimensions. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48.26 cm).
For four-post installations, the front and rear rack rails must be spaced between 23.5 in.
(59.7 cm) to 30.6 in. (77.7 cm) front-to-back.
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the switch.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around the
switch and rack.
Rack connection to building structure
Secure the rack to the building structure.
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum stability.

QFX5200 Cabinet Requirements

You can mount the QFX5200 in an enclosure or cabinet that contains a four-post 19-in. open rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics Industry Association.
Cabinet requirements consist of:
Cabinet size and clearance
Cabinet airflow requirements
Table 33 on page 81 provides the cabinet requirements and specifications for the QFX5200.
Table 33: Cabinet Requirements for the QFX5200
GuidelinesCabinet Requirement
81
Cabinet size and clearance
Cabinet airflow requirements
The minimum cabinet size for accommodating a QFX5200 device is 36 in. (91.4 cm) deep. Large cabinets improve airflow and reduce the chance of overheating.
When you mount the switch in a cabinet, ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating.
Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the cabinet adequately
dissipates the thermal output of the switch (or switches).
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit the cabinet
without recirculating into the switch. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust.
The QFX5200 fans exhaust hot air either through the vents on the port
panel or through the fans and power supplies. Install the switch in the cabinet in a way that maximizes the open space on the FRU side of the chassis. This maximizes the clearance for critical airflow.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from
the chassis.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets allows for the proper
clearance around the switch and cabinet.

Cable Specifications for QSFP+ and QSFP28 Transceivers

The 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ and 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 transceivers that are used in QFX Series switches use 12-ribbon multimode fiber crossover cables with socket MPO/UPC connectors. The fiber can be either OM3 or OM4. These cables are not sold by Juniper Networks.
CAUTION: To maintain agency approvals, use only a properly constructed, shielded
cable.
TIP: Ensure that you order cables with the correct polarity. Vendors refer to these crossover
cables as key up to key up, latch up to latch up, Type B, or Method B. If you are using patch panels between two QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceivers, ensure that the proper polarity is maintained through the cable plant.

Understanding QFX Series Fiber-Optic Cable Signal Loss, Attenuation, and Dispersion

IN THIS SECTION
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cables | 85
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable | 85
To determine the power budget and power margin needed for fiber-optic connections, you need to understand how signal loss, attenuation, and dispersion affect transmission. The QFX Series uses various types of network cables, including multimode and single-mode fiber-optic cables.
85
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cables
Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the walls of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs as light sources. However, LEDs are not coherent light sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which reflect the light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing signal dispersion. When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding (layers of lower refractive index material in close contact with a core material of higher refractive index), higher-order mode loss occurs. Together, these factors reduce the transmission distance of multimode fiber compared to that of single-mode fiber.
Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light reflect internally through one layer only. Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate a single wavelength of light, which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber. Compared to multimode fiber, single-mode fiber has a higher bandwidth and can carry signals for longer distances. It is consequently more expensive.
For information about the maximum transmission distance and supported wavelength range for the types of single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cables that are connected to the QFX Series, see the Hardware
Compatibility Tool. Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant signal loss,
which causes unreliable transmission.
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable
An optical data link functions correctly provided that modulated light reaching the receiver has enough power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in strength of the light signal during transmission. Passive media components such as cables, cable splices, and connectors cause attenuation. Although attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media, it still occurs in both
multimode and single-mode transmission. An efficient optical data link must transmit enough light to overcome attenuation.
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion can affect signal transmission through an optical data link:
Chromatic dispersion, which is the spreading of the signal over time caused by the different speeds of
light rays.
Modal dispersion, which is the spreading of the signal over time caused by the different propagation
modes in the fiber.
For multimode transmission, modal dispersion, rather than chromatic dispersion or attenuation, usually limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode transmission, modal dispersion is not a factor. However, at higher bit rates and over longer distances, chromatic dispersion limits the maximum link length.
An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that the receiver requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion must be within the limits specified for the type of link in the Telcordia Technologies document GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and International Telecommunications Union (ITU) document G.957.
86
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as a power penalty in the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum of component attenuation, power penalties (including those from dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses.

Calculating Power Budget and Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables

Use the information in this topic and the specifications for your optical interface to calculate the power budget and power margin for fiber-optic cables.
TIP: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable
transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device.
To calculate the power budget and power margin, perform the following tasks:
1.
How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cable | 87
2.
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cable | 87
How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cable
To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate the link's power budget, which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit. When you calculate the power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts of an actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels. To calculate the worst-case estimate of power budget (PB), you assume minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR):
87
PB= PT– P
R
The following hypothetical power budget equation uses values measured in decibels (dB) and decibels referred to one milliwatt (dBm):
PB= PT– P
R
PB= –15 dBm – (–28 dBm)
PB= 13 dB
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cable
After calculating a link's power budget, you can calculate the power margin (PM), which represents the amount of power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the power budget (PB). A worst-case estimate of PMassumes maximum LL:
PM= PB– LL
PMgreater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient to operate the receiver.
Factors that can cause link loss include higher-order mode losses, modal and chromatic dispersion, connectors, splices, and fiber attenuation. Table 36 on page 87 lists an estimated amount of loss for the factors used in the following sample calculations. For information about the actual amount of signal loss caused by equipment and other factors, refer to vendor documentation.

88
Fiber attenuation
Single mode—0.5 dB/km
Multimode—1 dB/km
The following sample calculation for a 2-km-long multimode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB uses the estimated values from Table 36 on page 87 to calculate link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber attenuation
(2 km @ 1 dB/km, or 2 dB) and loss for five connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 2.5 dB) and two splices (0.5 dB per splice, or 1 dB) as well as higher-order mode losses (0.5 dB). The power margin (PM) is calculated
as follows:
PM= PB– LL
PM= 13 dB – 2 km (1 dB/km) – 5 (0.5 dB) – 2 (0.5 dB) – 0.5 dB
PM= 13 dB – 2 dB – 2.5 dB – 1 dB – 0.5 dB
PM= 7 dB
The following sample calculation for an 8-km-long single-mode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB uses the estimated values from Table 36 on page 87 to calculate link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber attenuation
(8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 3.5 dB). The power margin (PM) is calculated as follows:
PM= PB– LL
PM= 13 dB – 8 km (0.5 dB/km) – 7(0.5 dB)
PM= 13 dB – 4 dB – 3.5 dB
PM= 5.5 dB
In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.

QFX5200 Installation Safety Guidelines

The weight of a fully -loaded QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L switch chassis is approximately 23.5 lb (10.66 kg); and a QFX5200-48Y weighs between 20.78 lbs (9.43 kg) to 21.16 (9.6 kg) with power supplies and fans installed. Observe the following guidelines for lifting and moving a QFX5200:
CAUTION: If you are installing the QFX5200 above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor,
either remove the power supplies, fan modules, and any expansion modules before attempting to install the switch, or ask someone to assist you during the installation.
Before installing a QFX5200, read the guidelines in “QFX5200 Site Preparation Checklist” on page 66
to verify that the intended site meets the specified power, environmental, and clearance requirements.
Before lifting or moving the QFX5200, disconnect all external cables.
As when lifting any heavy object, lift most of the weight with your legs rather than your back. Keep your
knees bent and your back relatively straight and avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your footing is solid.
