• A standalone switch.
• A member in a homogenous QFX Virtual Chassis.

linecard roles.
The QFX5100-96S switch is not a supported device in a VCF.
System Software
QFX Series devices use the Junos operating system (OS), which provides Layer 2 and
Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services. Junos OS is installed on a QFX5100
switch’s 32-gigabyte (GB) internal solid state flash drive. The same Junos OS code base
that runs on QFX5100 switches also runs on all Juniper Networks EX Series switches, and
J Series, M Series, MX Series, and T Series routers.
For more information about which features are supported on QFX Series devices, see
QFX Series Software Features Overview .
You manage the switch using the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI), accessible
through the console and out-of-band management ports on the device.
