Frequently asked

When is the Juniper QFX5100-48S-AFI end of life?
Juniper's published notice sets End-of-Sale for the QFX5100-48S-AFI at Jul 1, 2022. The published end-of-support date is Jul 1, 2027, after which vendor support ends. Check the milestones on this page and plan the refresh ahead of the support cutoff.
What replaces the Juniper QFX5100-48S-AFI?
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 QFX5100-48S-AFI, with TAA country-of-origin screening on request.
Can I still buy or get support for the QFX5100-48S-AFI?
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 Jul 1, 2027 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.
