Frequently asked

When is the Juniper QFX10002-72Q end of life?
Juniper's published notice sets End-of-Sale for the QFX10002-72Q at Jan 15, 2026. The published end-of-support date is Jan 15, 2031, after which vendor support ends. Check the milestones on this page and plan the refresh ahead of the support cutoff.
What replaces the Juniper QFX10002-72Q?
Juniper has not named a one-for-one replacement in the notice this page is built from. Uniqcli can recommend and quote the current equivalent for the QFX10002-72Q, with TAA country-of-origin screening on request.
Can I still buy or get support for the QFX10002-72Q?
New units are no longer sold by Juniper after the End-of-Sale date; remaining channel stock and refurbished units are the only sources. Vendor support continues until Jan 15, 2031 under an active support contract. For a fleet still running this hardware, the practical next step is a refresh plan — request a quote and we will price the current replacement.
