Q
What is the maximum transmission distance for compatible SFP+ modules in the QFX Series?
A
Maximum reach varies by optics: up to 10 km on single-mode, 300 m on OM3 multimode, 150 m on OM2 multimode, and 400 m on OM4 multimode fibers.
Q
Are Juniper QFX Series compatible SFP+ modules hot-swappable?
A
Yes. Juniper QFX-compatible SFP+ modules support hot-swap operations, allowing installation or removal without powering down the switch.
Q
How do I install a compatible SFP+ module in a Juniper QFX switch?
A
Gently insert the SFP+ module into the switch port until it clicks, attach the appropriate cable, then verify link status via the ‘show interfaces’ CLI command.
Q
Can third-party SFP+ modules be used in Juniper QFX Series without issues?
A
Yes. Third-party SFP+ modules that meet Juniper’s MSA-compliant specifications and firmware checks will operate seamlessly on QFX Series switches.
Q
What is the warranty policy for Juniper QFX Series compatible SFP+ modules?
A
Most vendors offer a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, with options to extend through maintenance contracts.
Q
How can I verify the compatibility of an SFP+ module with Juniper QFX Series switches?
A
Check the module’s part number against Juniper’s official compatibility matrix, confirm MSA compliance, and test in a non-production port.
Q
Do Juniper QFX Series compatible SFP+ modules support digital optical monitoring (DOM)?
A
Yes. DOM-enabled compatible SFP+ modules provide real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver voltage.
Q
What operating temperature range do the compatible SFP+ modules support?
A
Standard modules support 0 °C to 70 °C (32 °F to 158 °F); industrial-grade versions operate from –40 °C to 85 °C (–40 °F to 185 °F).
Q
How can I troubleshoot a Juniper QFX Series compatible SFP+ module not detected?
A
Ensure proper seating, clean fiber connectors, verify firmware compatibility, and check ‘show chassis fpc pic-status’ for transceiver errors.
Q
Are Juniper QFX Series compatible SFP+ modules RoHS compliant?
A
Yes. All reputable third-party SFP+ modules for Juniper QFX switches adhere to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for hazardous substance restrictions.
Q
