Common questions
Which direction does air travel through the chassis?
Air enters at the power-supply side and leaves at the port side, which is back-to-front cooling. A fully loaded unit draws up to 960 W on AC.
Is a tier license required for basic use?
No. You can run the standard software without one on the 2x SFP+, 64x QSFP28 ports, and add Advanced 1, Advanced 2 and Premium 1 later from Support & Licensing above. Juniper Care is offered too.
How does this differ from QFX5210-64C-AFI2?
This is the TAA-compliant configuration. Both versions use AC power and back-to-front airflow with the same fixed port layout.
