Common questions
Which airflow does this version use?
Front-to-back: air enters at the port side and leaves at the power-supply side. Maximum AC draw is 960 W.
Do I need a license to run it?
No. Standard software features run without one on the 2x SFP+, 64x QSFP28 ports. Optional tiers (Advanced 1, Advanced 2 and Premium 1) are listed in Support & Licensing above. Juniper Care is offered too.
Is AFI2 new hardware compared with AFI?
Same hardware.. Juniper’s AFI2 and AFO2 part numbers cover the same hardware as the earlier AFI and AFO versions. It has 2x SFP+, 64x QSFP28 and 2x JPSU-1100W-AC-AFO.
