I know this thread is quite old, but wanted to respond with some additional info. As for a generic comparison, the EX4600 is exact same internal hardware (PFE) as a QFX5100, just different packaging, and potentially feature support. In this case, feature support is "what is tested and

: Re: [j-nsp] EX4600 or QFX5110 Thank you for that link, it's quite useful. Would someone be able to confirm if EVPN with VXLAN data plane encapsulation would require or not the Advanced Feature Licenses, EX4600-AFL license? Thanks, Alex ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Friday, March 15, 2019

There is also a Compare function where you can select two or more products and compare all the features side-by-side. On Fri, Mar 15, 2019 at 10:14:55PM +, Anderson, Charles R wrote: > Check feature explorer, select EX4600, latest Junos: > > https://apps.juniper.net/feature-explorer/ > >

Hi, Thank you all for sharing your expertise. I am wondering if the EX4600 supports VXLAN as VXLAN-to-VLAN. I see many parts of the documentation which refers to VXLAN, such as https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/vxlan-constraints-qfx-series.html, but the

Hi guys, My 0.02: we use QFX5100 in VC and it's pretty solid. But. As mentioned, it's a single logical switch and by design it can't run members with different Junos versions that means downtime when you need to upgrade it. There is an ISSU but it has it's own caveats, so be prepared to

Spanning Tree is rather frowned upon for new designs (for good reasons). Usually, if you have the ability to do stright L2 bridging, you can always do L3 on top of that. A routed Spine/Leaf design with EVPN-VXLAN overly for L2 extension might be a good candidate and is typically the answer

Hi, I am seeking advices. I am working on a L2/L3 DC setup. I have six racks spread across two locations. I need about 20 ports of 10 Gbps (*2 for redundancy) ports per rack and a low bandwidth between the two locations c.a. 1 Gbps. Nothing special here. At first sight, the EX4600 seems like
