Unifi and Juniper switch transceivers compatibility

Networking
1

Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I have two switches, a unifi 24 port Poe pro and a juniper 48 EX4300 AT. The unifi has two 10Gb SPF+ and 4 10Gb QSFP+ on the juniper.

I just want to know if there’s any problem with one end of the fiber be SFP+ transceivers and the other end QSFP+. The juniper will be the core.

Also, can anyone say if the 4 QSFP+ at the back of the juniper is 10Gb or 40Gb each as the documentation doesn’t specifically says.

Thanks.

Each QSFP+ is a connector that carries “4x 10Gbps lanes”. People often use it with a 4x breakout cable to turn it into 4x 10gig interfaces, which is supported by almost all switches, and rarely supported by individual nics. (You get 16x 10gig connections maybe?)

Assuming juniper supports using such a breakout cable (example 1 , 2), you shouldn’t have issues.
