Questions about the Juniper QFX5100 family
- What do AFO and AFI mean on a QFX5100?
- They name the airflow. AFO parts such as the QFX5100-FAN-AFO move air front to back (AIR OUT); AFI parts such as the QFX5100-FAN-AFI move air back to front (AIR IN). Fans and power supplies of the two airflows cannot be mixed in one chassis.Sources: QFX5100 Ethernet Switch Datasheet, EX4600 Switch Hardware Guide
