Juniper EX2300 Switches for Lenovo with Power over
Ethernet
Product Guide (withdrawn product)
The Juniper EX2300-C-12P and EX2300-24P Ethernet switches for Lenovo with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
deliver a compact, high-density, cost-effective solution for small network environments where space and
power are at a premium. Featuring a small, 1U footprint, these switches are ideal for access-layer
deployments in micro branches, retail and workgroup environments, and converged network access in
larger networks.
The EX2300-C-12P offers 12x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports in a single platform, while the EX2300-24P offers
24x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. Both models offer Power over Ethernet (PoE) for powering attached
network devices, such as such as telephones, video cameras, IEEE 802.11ac WLAN access points, and
videophones. Optional front panel 10GbE uplink ports support connections to higher-layer devices.
The EX2300 switches support L2 switching protocols as well as L3 routing protocols like RIP and static
routing that are included in the base license. An enhanced license is available via special bid for supporting
additional L3 protocols such as OSPF, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP v1/v2/v3), Protocol
Independent Multicast (PIM), and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), as well as IEEE 802.1 Q-in-
Q VLAN tunneling.
The EX2300 switches are shown in the following figure.

The EX2300 switches are designed with non-blocking, line-rate throughput and zero oversubscription.
The compact PoE-enabled EX2300-C-12P switch can simultaneously deliver up to 15.4 watts of standards-
based 802.3af Class 3 PoE to a maximum of 8 ports or 30 watts of standards-based 802.3at PoE+ to a
maximum of 4, based on a total system budget of 124 W.
The PoE-enabled EX2300-24P switch can simultaneously deliver up to 15.4 watts of standards-based
802.3af Class 3 PoE to a maximum of 24 ports or 30 watts of standards-based 802.3at PoE+ to a maximum
of 12 ports, based on a total system budget of 370 watts.
Low power consumption, low acoustic fans (EX2300-24P) or fanless design (EX2300-C-12P), and a
small footprint enable flexible, environmentally friendly deployment.
