The QFX5120 delivers low-latency, native 25GbE, rich Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, VXLAN overlay support, and 100GbEoverlay support, and 100GbE uplinks, making it the ideal switch for access and top-of-rack deployments.
Featuring Layer 3 gateway capabilities for bridging between virtualized and bare-metal servers, the QFX5120 is designed for extremely agile data centers that demand support for overlay/ underlay network architectures. The high-density 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE ports also make the QFX5120 ideally suited for deployment as leaf-and-spine and leaf topologies.
