Product Overview

The Juniper Networks EX2300

Ethernet Switch oers an

economical, entry-level,

standalone solution for access-

layer deployments in branch

and remote oces, as well as

enterprise campus networks.

To simplify network operations,

the EX2300 is hardware-ready to

act as a satellite device to support

a Juniper Networks Junos Fusion

Enterprise deployment, which can

combine several wiring closets

into one logical management

platform. For smaller networks, up

to four EX2300 switches can be

interconnected in a Virtual Chassis

conﬁguration, allowing them to be

managed as a single switch.

Product Description

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.
