About the Juniper Networks Apstra 5.0 Appliance (DN2-HW-APL-L)

The Juniper Networks Apstra 5.0 Appliance (DN2-HW-APL-L) delivers 12.8 Tbps of forwarding throughput, providing the line-rate capacity required for modern data center switching architectures. This 2U rack-mount appliance combines 48 x 25GbE SFP28 ports with 4 x 100GbE QSFP28 ports, enabling flexible port density for both standard and high-bandwidth interconnects. Built by Juniper for intent-based networking, the DN2-HW-APL-L integrates multi-core CPU processing with 16 GB DRAM on the management plane, supporting dynamic network automation across enterprise fabrics.

The appliance is engineered for resilience and operational continuity. Redundant 1200W AC power supplies and hot-swap redundant fan modules ensure uninterrupted service, while a lifetime hardware warranty (vendor-specific terms) protects your infrastructure investment. Management access is provided via out-of-band 1GbE Ethernet, isolating control traffic from data paths. Juniper's implementation supports EVPN, BGP, and OSPF protocols, making the DN2-HW-APL-L suitable for network engineers and infrastructure architects designing scalable, standards-based data center networks. Operating across the 0–45 °C temperature range, this platform adapts to diverse deployment environments.

Typical Enterprise Deployments

  • Large-scale data center fabric switching with multi-tier EVPN overlays and BGP routing protocols
  • Intent-based network automation for cloud infrastructure and hybrid environments
  • High-density 25GbE server access switching with selective 100GbE uplink aggregation
  • Mission-critical deployments requiring redundant power and cooling with zero single points of failure
  • Multi-tenant environments leveraging dynamic network segmentation and automated policy enforcement

For procurement teams evaluating centralized network appliances, the Juniper Apstra 5.0 represents a proven platform for next-generation data center operations. Contact Omnixon Global to request a quotation on the DN2-HW-APL-L and discuss integration with your infrastructure roadmap.

Frequently Asked Questions about Juniper Networks Apstra 5.0 Appliance (DN2-HW-APL-L)

Does the Juniper Networks Apstra 5.0 Appliance (DN2-HW-APL-L) support our SFP transceivers?

Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.

Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?

Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations before shipping, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.

What software licensing is included?

Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises at delivery.

Is the warranty global?

Yes — manufacturer hardware warranty is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
