Juniper Networks EX4300-48P 10/100/1000BaseT PoE-plus + 1100W AC PS
Part Number: EX4300-48P
The EX4300 line of Ethernet switches delivers the performance, flexibility, and scale required for both campus and data center Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) access switch environments. Whether deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration or as a satellite device in a Juniper Networks Junos Fusion fabric architecture, the EX4300 delivers the operational simplicity and higher logical scale that businesses demand. Combining compact, pay-as-you-grow economics and low power and cooling with the performance, availability, and port densities of chassis-based platforms, the EX4300 enables businesses to deploy with speed and agility to increase revenue and improve productivity.
The Juniper Networks® EX4300 line of Ethernet switches with Virtual Chassis technology combines the 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. Both 1GbE access and multigigabit switch options are available.
Offering a full suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, the EX4300 enables a variety of deployments, including campus, branch, and data center access. A single 24-port or 48-port EX4300 switch can be deployed initially. As requirements grow, Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology allows any combination of up to 10 EX4300 and/or EX4600 switches to be seamlessly interconnected and managed as a single device, delivering a scalable, payas-you-grow solution for expanding network environments. A pair of 32-port EX4300 fiber switches can also be deployed as a consolidated aggregation or small core switch. Additionally, the EX4300 can integrate with the Juniper Networks QFX5100 line of 10GbE and 40GbE data center access switches in a single stack or Virtual Chassis configuration, enabling nondisruptive 10GbE server upgrades and simplified management of a mixed access environment.
The fixed-configuration EX4300 switches include a number of high availability features typically associated with chassis-based solutions, including the following:
- Hot-swappable fans
- Modular Juniper Networks Junos® operating system (consistent with chassis systems)
- Dual Routing Engines (REs) with graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) in a Virtual Chassis configuration
- Single management interface
- Easy, centralized software upgrades
- Scalability from 24 to 480 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 24 to 240 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T ports, with up to 40 10GbE uplinks and 40 40GbE uplinks (up to 40 10GbE uplinks, 20 40GbE uplinks, or 20 100GbE uplinks on multigigabit models, in addition to four dedicated 40 Gbps Virtual Chassis ports per switch)
Each EX4300 switch includes a single ASIC-based Packet Forwarding Engine, the EX-PFE. The integrated Routing Engine (RE) delivers all control plane functionality. The EX4300 also leverages the same modular Junos OS as other Juniper Networks switches, routers, and security devices, ensuring a consistent implementation and operation of control plane features across the Juniper Networks infrastructure.
