Juniper Switching
EX3200 & EX4200 Series Ethernet switches.
The EX 3200 and EX 4200 Ethernet switches from Juniper Networks represent a new era in networking. This family of high-performance, carrier-class solutions is designed to address your unique business requirements and create a secure, reliable network that's ideal for today's converged network deployments.
EX-series switches are easy to deploy and manage, allowing you to design more energy-efficient networks, with the flexibility to let you innovate with confidence. Powered by JUNOS™ software, the EX-series enables you to roll out new features and applications that will actually enhance your business operations without threatening network performance.
Offering fixed-configuration and virtual-chassis models, all running the same JUNOS software, the EX-series Ethernet switches deliver the network reliability, integrated security and access control that are essential to today's high-performance businesses.
EX3200 Product Description
The EX 3200 series fixed-configuration switches from Juniper Networks offer a high-performance standalone solution for access-layer deployments in branch and remote offices as well as campus networks.
Featuring complete Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, the EX 3200 series switches satisfy the wiring closet connectivity requirements of today’s high-performance businesses. Four platform configurations are available offering 24 and 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with either full or partial Power over Ethernet (PoE). The base 24- and 48-port EX 3200 series switches deliver a full 15.4 watts of Class 3 PoE on the first eight ports for supporting IP-enabled devices such as telephones, video cameras and wireless LAN (WLAN) access points in converged networks. The EX 3200 series switches with full PoE deliver 15.4 watts on all 24 or 48 ports to support high-density IP telephony and other converged network environments.
The EX 3200 series Ethernet switches also support optional four-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and two-port 10 GbE uplink modules with pluggable optics to provide high-speed connectivity to aggregation-layer switches or other upstream devices. A field-replaceable power supply and fan tray minimize mean time to repair (MTTR) for the EX 3200 series switches, ensuring maximum availability. When deployed with an optional external redundant power supply unit, the EX 3200 series switch’s power supply becomes hot-swappable.
The EX 3200 series switches offer an integrated Routing Engine (RE) that runs the same modular JUNOS™ software as Juniper router products to ensure the consistent implementation and operation of each control plane feature across an entire Juniper infrastructure.
EX4200 Product Description
The Juniper Networks EX 4200 series Ethernet switches with Virtual Chassis technology combine the High Availability (HA) and carrier-class reliability of modular systems with the economics and flexibility of stackable platforms, delivering a high-performance, scalable solution for data center, campus and branch office environments.
Offering a full suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities as part of the base software, the EX 4200 series switches satisfy a variety of high-performance applications, including branch, campus and data center access deployments as well as Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) aggregation deployments. A single 24-port or 48-port switch can be deployed initially; as requirements grow, Juniper Virtual Chassis technology allows up to 10 EX 4200 series switches to be interconnected over a 128 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) backplane and managed as a single device, delivering a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments. Flexible Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) uplink options enable high-speed connectivity to aggregation- or core-layer switches which connect multiple floors or buildings.
All EX 4200 series switches include HA features such as redundant, hot-swappable internal power supplies and field-replaceable, multi-blower fan trays to ensure maximum uptime. In addition, the base EX 4200 series switch models offer Class 3 Power over Ethernet (PoE), delivering 15.4 watts on the first eight ports to support IP-enabled devices such as telephones, video cameras and wireless LAN (WLAN) access points for low-density converged networks. Full PoE options delivering 15.4 watts on all 24 or 48 ports are also available, making them ideal for high-density IP telephony deployments.
Each EX 4200 series switch includes an integrated application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)-based Packet Forwarding Engine, the EX-PFE, while an integrated Routing Engine (RE) delivers all control plane functionality. Based on field-proven Juniper technology, the Route Engine brings the same level of carrier-class performance and reliability to the EX 4200 series switches that Juniper routers bring to the world’s largest service provider networks.
The EX 4200 series switches also leverage the same modular JUNOS™ software as Juniper router products, ensuring a consistent implementation and operation of each control plane feature across an entire Juniper infrastructure.
