For my EX4600s i used: https://www.racksolutions.com/2post-center-mount-brackets.html Which I found to be very sturdy and good for multiple RUs of equipment. On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 11:05 AM Colton Conor wrote: > Brian, are you talking about this kit: >

I'm using just the front part, center mounted. Works fine and is much stronger than the flimsy back part. On Thu, Aug 02, 2018 at 11:07:20AM -0400, Colton Conor wrote: > Chuck, > > We put them in the center, and even cut them, but overall the 4 post rack > brackets that come with the QFX5100

Tim, Have you used this 2 post rack rails with the QFX5100? It looks like this rail kit has a back plate, does the power cables fit through those holes? This QFX5100 is long. On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 5:48 PM, Tim Jackson wrote: > https://www.racksolutions.com/2-post-rack-rails.html > > -- >

Chuck, We put them in the center, and even cut them, but overall the 4 post rack brackets that come with the QFX5100 are flimsy as hell. On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 6:09 PM, Chuck Anderson wrote: > Just put the rack brackets back towards the middle of the sides so the > switch is hangs further

We still use EX4200 rack ears and center mount them. Holes line up, works fine. I believe it's "EX-RMK". It's more problematic to flush mount it as one always needs some support on the rear- usually a small shelf on the back side, like the small shelf used to mount an MX480.

Just put the rack brackets back towards the middle of the sides so the switch is hangs further forward. The weight is more balanced and it works fine. On Wed, Aug 01, 2018 at 06:39:43PM -0400, Colton Conor wrote: > We are constantly having to mount these larger switches to two post racks. > To

We are constantly having to mount these larger switches to two post racks. To my knowledge Juniper does not make 2 post mounting brackets for these switches. Does anyone have any recommendations on a shelf or something to hold these up? We are dealing with 19 and 23 inch racks.
