Juniper Networks EX4300 Ethernet switches
Cloud-ready and ZTP-enabled for a highly scalable, cost-effective solution
Juniper Networks® EX4300-48T-DC Ethernet switch is a single rack unit (1 U) device that delivers a compact solution for crowded wiring closets and access switch locations where space and power are at a premium. Its 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.
Chassis-Like Features in an Expandable Form Factor
The EX4300-48T-DC’s fixed-configuration includes a number of high availability features typically associated with chassis-based solutions, like hot-swappable fans, dual routing engines and a single management interface. The EX4300-48T-DC can be interconnected over multiple 40GbE quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceiver ports to form a 320 gigabit per second (Gbps) backplane. A flexible uplink module that supports both 1GbE and 10GbE options is also available, enabling high-speed connectivity to aggregation- or core-layer switches which connect multiple floors or buildings.
Virtual Chassis Technology (QSFP+ DAC for Virtual Chassis ordered separately)
Up to 10 EX4300 switches can be interconnected using Virtual Chassis technology, creating a single logical device supporting up to 480 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, plus up to 40 10GbE or 40 40GbE uplink ports. For mixed 1GbE and 10GbE access environments, the EX4300 can be interconnected with the EX4600 enterprise campus and QFX5100 high-performance data center access switches. EX4300 Virtual Chassis configurations can be created to support a variety of port and density options for data center, campus, and branch deployments. Virtual Chassis connections can be formed using any of the 40GbE ports or 10GbE ports using standard DAC cables and optics. The EX4300 Ethernet switches do not support Virtual Chassis technology on the GbE copper or fiber ports.
