JUNIPER QFX10000-30C-M QFX10000 Series Switches

QFX10000-30C-M Exact Component Identity

QFX10000-30C-M is the MACsec-capable QFX10000 line card with thirty QSFP28 ports. The ports support 100GbE or 40GbE and add MACsec for secured inter-data-center and intra-data-center Ethernet links.

Documented capability and exclusion

The card requires Junos OS 17.4R1-S2 or later; 40GbE-to-4x10GbE channelization requires Junos OS 19.2R1 or later. Boundary: The -M PID is distinct from QFX10000-30C. MACsec capability does not include optics, encryption-policy design or key-management services.

MACsec and channelization gate

Confirm the exact -M label, Junos release and MACsec feature plan before purchase. Map each peer link, cipher policy and optic type, and treat channelization changes as a maintenance event because the associated FPC can reboot. Validate the maximum active-port pattern for the selected mode.

Lifecycle checkpoint

Juniper includes this exact PID in the QFX10000 lifecycle announcement with a last-order date of 15 January 2026, Junos OS 24.4 as the final listed software version and 15 January 2031 as end of support. Confirm the serial-specific entitlement and support record before procurement.
