Juniper Networks EX Ethernet switches
The EX series Ethernet Switch from Juniper Networks certainly is not the “cheaper” solution, but is a high level solution for the enterprise.
This post is dedicated to review the EX Series Ethernet switch portfolio from Juniper Networs.
Specifically, the series EX2200, EX3200, EX4200 and EX8200.
The EX2200 ethernet switch:
EX 2200 Ethernet Switch
Single rack unit (1 RU) with 24 or 48 x 1Gbps ports.
Aditional has a 4 x 1Gbps fixed ports to connect to agregation layer.
It’ available with or without 802.3af (PoE), ideally for IP phones, wireless Access Points, and IPCCTV cameras.
Ideal for access layer, in branch office or medium enterprise.
And of course, runs the same JUNOS operating system (with some extension for switches).
The EX3200 ethernet switch:
EX 3200 Ethernet Switch
Single rack unit with 24 or 48 x 1Gbps ports. Partial (8) or totally support for 802.3af (PoE) in ports.
Two optional modules with pluggable ports; 4 ports x 1 Gbps or 2 ports x 10Gbps.
Another feature is the little display, that shows the status of the switch, enviromental factors, the ports, etc.
Run Junos.
The EX4200 ethernet switch:
EX 4200 Ethernet Switch
Designed for access or aggregation layer, offers 24 or 48 x 1Gbps ports. Full or partial PoE ports.
Two optional modules with pluggable ports; 4 ports x 1 Gbps or 2 ports x 10Gbps.
Also has the display.
The big feature on this switch it’s called “Juniper’s Virtual Chassis Technology”. That’s, connect up to 10 switches with a 128Gbps backplane, to create a single logical device up to 480 x 1Gbps user ports, and 20 x 10Gbps uplink ports.
The EX8200 ethernet switch:
EX 8200 Ethernet Switch
Its designed for high density 10Gbps networks like, campus agreggation, data centers an core.
Two options are available, a 16 rack units (16 RU) with 8 slots, and 21 racks units (21 RU) with 16 slots.
Have a “built-in migration path” to support (in the future) 100Gbps.
Support “Virtual Chassis” up two switches, and, runs Junos.
Well, these are the Juniper’s Networks switchs that i want in my rack
