QFX5220-32CD Port Panel

The port panel of the QFX5220-32CD has 32 high-speed ports that support transmission at 400-Gbps, 100-Gbps, or 25-Gbps speeds. It also has 2 dedicated ports for 10 Gbps.

Network Ports

The QFX5220-32CD network ports (0 to 31) support:

  • 400-Gbps QSFP-DD direct attach copper (DAC) cables

  • 400 Gbps active optic cable (AOC) (starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 19.3R2)

  • 100-Gbps QSFP28 transceivers

  • 100 Gbps active optic break outcables (AOCBO) QSFP28 to four SFP25G interfaces

  • 40-Gbps QSFP+ to SFP+ DACBO cables (40-Gbps breaks out to 4 independent 10-Gbps connections)–Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R1 and later

The 10-Gbps network ports 32 and 33 support small form-factor plus (SFP+) transceivers.

Setting Port Speed and Channelization

The default port speed for ports 0 through 31 is 400 Gbps. Only QSFP-DD optics inserted in these ports will link without configuration. See #port-panel-32cd__table-qfx5220-32cd-port-speed.

10 Gbps, link up

Note:

The QFX5220-32CD network ports (0 to 31) support:

  • The QFX5220-32CD does not support autonegotiation between devices.

  • The last two SFP+ ports cannot support 1GbE modules. These two ports support only 10GbE modules.

If a port already has a speed configured, you can manually configure the ports. To set the speed, use the set chassis fpc FPC number pic pic number port port number speed 25|40|100|200|400 configuration mode CLI command. For example, to set port 2 to 100 Gbps:

Note:

On QFX5220-32CD devices, there is a single FPC and PIC, which is always 0.

After you set a port speed, you can channelize the port into 4 independent 25-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces by configuring the number of subports and speed. You should use the set chassis fpc FPC number pic pic number port port number number-of-sub-ports 1|2|3|4 command. For example, to configure 100-Gbps port 4 to four independent 25-Gbps interfaces:

Be sure to save and commit your changes.

Warning:

An incorrectly configured port can cause unexpected port and switch behavior. The system software does not check whether the port speed or the attached optic are supported at the time of the commit. Use the show chassis alarms and the show chassis pic fpc-slot 0 pic-slot 0 to locate incorrectly configured ports. See Configuration Changes Leading to Unexpected QFX5220 Behavior.

QFX5220-32CD Network LEDs

The high-speed QSFP-DD network ports use a single bi-colored LED to indicate link status, activity on the link, or a fault condition. The 10-Gbps SFP+ ports have separate bi-colored LEDs; the left LED indicates link and activity and the right LED indicates fault conditions. See #port-panel-32cd__fig-32CD-link-activity-leds.

#port-panel-32cd__tbl-qsfp56dd-port-leds describes the various states of the network port LED for the high-speed ports. #port-panel-32cd__tbl-qfx5220cd-sfp-LEDs describes how to interpret the link and activity LED and the status LEDs for the SFP+ ports.
