How many line card slots does it have and what do they support?

It features 8 hot-insertable line card slots (labeled 0-7) supporting QFX series cards for up to 1152x10GbE, 288x40GbE, or 240x100GbE ports. Each card uses multiple independent 500 Gbps full-duplex PFE slices, enabling high-density datacenter fabrics.

What redundancy features are included?

Redundancy includes 2 Routing Engines with dual SSDs, 6x2700W AC power supplies (N+1), 2 redundant fan trays with controllers, and N+1 switch fabric (6 cards). Software features like GRES, NSR, and NSB ensure graceful failover and nonstop operations.

What management ports are available?

Management interfaces include console, AUX, and Ethernet RJ45 ports. Running Junos OS, it supports Virtual Chassis technology and high availability protocols, with 2 redundant fan tray controllers for cooling management in the 13U chassis.

What power and cooling options does it offer?

Equipped with 6 redundant 2700W AC power supplies (N+1) and 2 redundant fan trays with dedicated controllers for front-to-back airflow. This ensures reliable operation in high-density racks, with all components hot-swappable.

Is it suitable for datacenter spine deployments?

Yes, designed for spine/core with 48 Tbps capacity, scalable port densities, and full redundancy. Supports standards-based fabrics, deep buffers up to 100ms per port, and massive scale (2M routes, 1M MACs), ideal for cloud-scale underlay networks.
