The Juniper Networks
®
EX2300 line of Ethernet switches offers a compact, high-
performance solution for supporting today’s converged network access deployments.
Each EX2300 switch includes an ASIC-based Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) with an
integrated CPU to consistently deliver wire-rate forwarding, even with all control plane
features enabled. Based on existing, field-proven Juniper Networks technology, the PFE
brings the same level of carrier-class performance and reliability to the EX2300 switches
that Juniper Networks routers bring to the world’s largest service provider networks.
Select EX2300 models also support the 802.3af Class 3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) and
802.3at PoE+ standards for supporting networked devices such as telephones, video
cameras, IEEE 802.11ac WLAN access points, and videophones in converged networks. The
PoE-enabled EX2300 switches include a maximum system budget of 740 watts to deliver
up to 30 watts to select ports.
The EX2300 fixed-configuration Ethernet switches provide exceptional value to enterprise
customers by supporting the following key technologies:
•
Juniper Networks Junos
®
Fusion Enterprise allows more than 100 EX2300 switches to
be configured as satellite devices that connect to EX9200 core aggregation devices.
•
Virtual Chassis technology enables up to four interconnected EX2300 switches to
form a single logical device.
•
Flexible 4x1GbE SFP/10GbE SFP+ uplinks provide high-speed connectivity to
aggregation layer switches or other upstream devices.
•
Up to 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are available with or without PoE/PoE+.
•
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support is provided on 1GbE ports.
•
Complete Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 switching capabilities are available.
•
Simplified management uses Juniper Networks Junos Space Network Director and
J-Web GUI.
Additional features include:
•
PoE-enabled EX2300 switches can simultaneously deliver up to 15.4 watts of
standards-based 802.3af Class 3 PoE to a maximum of 48 ports or 30 watts of
standards-based 802.3at PoE+ to a maximum of 24 ports, based on a total system
budget of 740 watts.
•
Uplink ports can be configured as Virtual Chassis interfaces and connected via
standard 10GbE optics interfaces (optional license required).
•
Fixed power supply and uplink ports ensure operational simplicity.
•
Low power consumption, low acoustic fans, and a small 10-inch deep footprint
enable flexible, environmentally friendly deployment.
