Description

The Juniper QFX5240 32-port 800GbE OSFP data centre switch delivers 25.6 Tbps switching capacity in a 1U fixed-configuration chassis purpose-built for AI/ML workloads and high-density IP fabric architectures. Deployed as a spine or leaf device, it supports breakout to 64x 400GbE, 160x 100GbE, or 128x 50GbE, and leverages Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) consuming roughly half the power of traditional optics — making it an ideal high-performance, energy-efficient choice for modern data centre builds. TAA compliant with 1+1 redundant AC PSUs, hot-swappable fans, and airflow-out (front-to-back) cooling.

Running Junos OS Evolved, the QFX5241-32OD-AO-T supports EVPN-VXLAN, RoCEv2, BGP Additional Paths, and advanced telemetry with ECN/PFC counters for lossless fabric performance. Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) and integrations with Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, and Juniper Apstra enable fully automated Day 0–Day 2+ operations. The 4-post toolless rack mount kit is included for rapid deployment. In stock and ready to ship from iptrading.com.au — order now for fast dispatch.

Features

- Purpose-built for AI/ML workloads — ultra-low latency optimises fast job completion time (JCT)
- Flexible spine/leaf/end-of-row deployment in IP fabric architectures
- Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) support — approximately half the power consumption of traditional optics
- 1+1 hot-swappable redundant AC PSUs — zero downtime for power supply replacement
- Hot-removable, hot-insertable fan modules for live maintenance
- EVPN-VXLAN for flexible network segmentation and multitenant data centre deployments
- RoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) for lossless AI/ML storage and compute traffic
- Secure Boot protects against unauthorised firmware modifications
- Advanced telemetry with ECN/PFC counter support for congestion visibility
- Fine-grained load balancing for reduced flow entropy across fabric
- Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) with Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, and Python automation support
- Juniper Apstra integration for closed-loop Day 0–Day 2+ data centre assurance
- BGP Additional Paths and multicast routing support
- Reduces data centre carbon footprint via lower node count and 800G power-efficient optics

FAQs

Q: What is the QFX5241-32OD-AO-T designed for?
A: The QFX5241-32OD-AO-T is a 1U 32-port 800GbE OSFP data centre switch from Juniper's QFX5240 line, purpose-built for AI/ML infrastructure and high-density IP fabric architectures. It functions as a spine or leaf device, delivering 25.6 Tbps switching capacity with ultra-low latency to support fast AI job completion times.

Q: What breakout configurations are supported?
A: Each 800GbE OSFP port can be broken out, providing flexible density options: 64x 400GbE, 160x 100GbE, or 128x 50GbE — allowing the switch to interconnect a wide variety of existing and next-generation server and storage equipment within the same fabric.

Q: Is the QFX5241-32OD-AO-T TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The '-T' suffix in the SKU designates TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, making this switch suitable for US federal government procurement and other TAA-required purchasing programs.

Q: What does 'Airflow Out' mean and why does it matter for data centre deployments?
A: Airflow Out (AFO), also called front-to-back airflow, draws cool air in from the front of the rack and exhausts hot air out the back. This aligns with standard hot-aisle/cold-aisle data centre cooling architectures, ensuring compatibility with most enterprise and hyperscale data centre environments.

Q: Does this switch support automation and zero-touch provisioning?
A: Yes. The QFX5241-32OD-AO-T runs Junos OS Evolved and supports zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) as well as automation integrations with Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, and Python. It also integrates with Juniper Apstra for intent-based, closed-loop Day 0 through Day 2+ data centre management.

Q: Can I purchase the QFX5241-32OD-AO-T in Australia?
A: Yes. The QFX5241-32OD-AO-T is stocked and available for purchase through iptrading.com.au, Australia's B2B IT hardware specialist. It is in stock and ready to ship for fast dispatch nationwide. Contact the team for volume pricing or configuration assistance.
