I don't know if they're pushing it for the QFX5100, but I think on the QFX10k line they're pushing the ability to run another guest VM alongside the 2 JUNOS VMs on the switch's x86 CPU. See page 4 on the spec sheet: http://www.juniper.net/assets/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000531-en.pdf No idea what's involved with packaging the VM and getting it there, but should open up some interesting possibilties. - Chip On 2015-10-19, Anhost <jjones@danrj.com> sent:
Qfx5100 and I think ex4600.

Which new switches are you talking about Jerry?

Hi
Does anyone make a SFP with a system on chip "computer" that you can run a small embedded linux on?
I am sure it can be done because I have a "GPON stick" which is basically a ONU with a small embedded Linux all on a SFP module. Does get fairly hot however.
My application is to run some small things that I feel is missing in my switches/routers. Plug in this imaginary "SFP computer" to enhance the switch with a small Linux. The SFP slot provides both networking and power to the device.
