Description

This expansion module adds two 40GbE QSFP+ ports to a Juniper EX4550 Ethernet switch from the EX4550 range. It suits data centre top-of-rack and aggregation deployments that need 40GbE uplinks to a core or aggregation layer, fibre uplinks, or links beyond 100 m.

Each module provides 2 x 40GbE QSFP+ ports, which can run as uplinks or be configured as Virtual Chassis ports from Junos OS 13.2X50-D15. It is a hot-insertable and hot-removable field replaceable unit, so it can be fitted without powering down the switch. A 40GbE module in each of the two expansion slots raises Virtual Chassis bandwidth to 320 Gbps. The module draws power from the host chassis and has no separate power supply.

It fits the front or rear module slot on the EX4550-32F and EX4550-32T, with up to two expansion modules per switch. It takes 40GbE QSFP+ transceivers or DAC cables, and requires Junos OS 13.2X50-D10 or later. No licence is specific to the module, though some advanced Junos OS features on the host switch may need separate software licences.
