Description
This switch is the basis of the QFabric.
This switch can also be used as a datacenter 10G with 40G uplinks switch
Everything is field replaceable.
It runs Virtual Chassis using a QSFP+ ports
It can stack with the QFX family and the EX4300
Redundant power
QFX3500
Front
Back
To make it simple I will use the AFI and AFO.
AFO means the Air Flows Out of the power supply.
AFI means the power supply sucks air into the switch.
Models and part numbers
These are the simple guys
The F ones have an SFP for a management module port.
Then there is a part number for each airflow.
there are other part numbers in the pricelist.
At this stage disregard them.
These are the cold spares.
Cold Spares
QFX3500-48S4Q-AFI
QFX3500-48S4Q-AFO
QFX3500, AFI, no management, no power
QFX3500, AFO, no management, no power
Management module
The management module can be replaced using these
It needs to match the airflow.

show chassis hardware
then reach out to your representative, if you don't have one let me know.
They will be able to generate the required license.
