Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches

EX2300 Ethernet Switches

The EX2300 Ethernet Switch delivers a compact, high-density, cost-effective solution for small network environments where space and power are at a premium. With a small, 1 U footprint, the EX2300 is perfect for access-layer deployments in micro branches, retail and workgroup environments, and converged network access in larger networks. Two EX2300 switch models are available, offering either 24 or 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports in a single platform. Both models are available with or without IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 802.3at PoE+ for powering attached network devices. Optional front panel 10GbE uplink ports are provided to support connections to higher layer devices. EX2300 switches support Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology, enabling up to four of the platforms to be interconnected and managed as a single, logical device. The switches can also serve as satellite devices in a Junos Fusion Enterprise deployment, which allows large numbers of access switches to be merged into a logical management platform.

EX2300-C Ethernet Switches

The EX2300-C Ethernet Switch offers a compact, power-efficient, cost-effective solution for low-density branch offices and enterprise workgroups. Featuring a fanless design, the EX2300-C is completely silent, making it ideal for open office deployments and commercial applications such as in retail stores. The EX2300-C offers 12 front-panel 10/100/1000BASE-T access ports and two optional SFP+ 10GbE uplink ports for connecting to higher level devices. Access ports are available both with and without IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 802.3at PoE+ for powering attached network devices. Working with a compatible EX Series switch, the EX2300-C supports Juniper’s unique Virtual Chassis technology. Up to three of the switches can be interconnected with a fourth Virtual Chassis-compatible EX Series switch, enabling them to be managed as a single device. The EX2300-C can also act as a satellite device in a Junos Fusion Enterprise deployment, which combines large numbers of access switches into a logical management platform.

EX3300 Ethernet Switches

EX3300 Ethernet switches are cost-effective enterprise access solutions for data center environments that support converged data, voice, and video. Models come with 24 or 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and four GbE/10GbE SFP/SFP+ uplink ports. The EX3300 switches support IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 802.3at PoE+. Optimized for the data center, the switches offer front-to-back and back-to-front cooling options, and can be configured with a DC power supply. Up to 10 EX3300 switches can be interconnected and operated as a single device using Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology.

EX4300 Ethernet Switches

EX4300 1GbE Ethernet switches are compact, fixed-configuration platforms that can be deployed as standalone systems or as part of a Virtual Chassis or Virtual Chassis Fabric switching architecture, satisfying a variety of high-performance branch, campus and data center access needs. Virtual Chassis technology enables any combination of up to 10 EX4300, QFX3500, QFX3600 or QFX5100 switches to be interconnected as a single, logical device that delivers a highly scalable, cost-effective solution for 1GbE or mixed 1GbE/10GbE/40GbE environments. The EX4300 can also be used in a QFX5100-based Virtual Chassis Fabric switching architecture, which enables up to 20 interconnected EX4300, QFX3500, QFX3600 and QFX5100 switches to operate as a low-latency, high-performance 1GbE/10GbE/40GbE data center fabric that is managed as a single device. The EX4300 line features 24- and 48-port 10/100/1000BASE-T models and a 32-port 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X SFP model. On the fiber-based switches, four fixed front-panel uplink ports accommodate 1GbE or 10GbE optics for high-speed backbone or link aggregation connections. The four 40GBASE QSFP+ ports available on each model can also be used for high-speed backbone or link aggregation connections. Power over Ethernet (PoE)-enabled EX4300 models offer standards-based 802.3at PoE+, delivering up to 30 Watts on all ports for supporting high-density IP telephony, surveillance camera, or wireless access point deployments.

EX6200 Ethernet Switches

The EX6200 Ethernet switch is a scalable, resilient, high-performance wiring closet solution for campus deployments, or for end-of-row access in the data center. The flexible, 14RU, 10-slot chassis reserves two slots for holding redundant Switch Fabric Routing Engine (SRE) modules, while eight slots are dedicated for 48-port 10/100/1000BASE-T line cards. One redundant SRE can be replaced by an additional line card for higher port densities. Two line cards are available, one with and one without support for IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 802.3at PoE+. The EX6200 comes with additional Layer 2 and Layer 3 features in the base image, including IPv6 support*, Quality of Service (QoS), and great scalability for MAC and IP addresses.
