Juniper EX2300-48T Ethernet Switch

Product Overview

The Juniper Networks EX2300 Ethernet Switch offers an economical, entry-level, standalone solution for access-layer deployments in branch and remote offices, as well as enterprise campus networks. Both 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps access port options are available to provide higher-speed options, especially when connecting to 802.11ac Wave 2 access points.

For small networks, up to four EX2300 switches can be interconnected in a Virtual Chassis configuration, allowing them to be managed as a single switch.

The EX2300 is onboarded, provisioned, and managed in the Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture. Mist Wired Assurance delivers better experiences for connected devices through AI-powered automation and service levels.

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 750 watts to deliver up to 30 watts to select ports.

Multiple EX2300 models are available, including versions offering multigigabit (up to 2.5 Gbps) PoE+ access ports that can accommodate higher-speed IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 access points, enabling the switches to support more wireless users.

The EX2300 fixed-configuration Ethernet switches provide exceptional value to enterprise customers by supporting the following key technologies:

• Virtual Chassis technology enables up to four interconnected EX2300 switches to form a single logical device.
• Flexible 1GbE 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+.
• Models offering 24 and 48 multigigabit ports support 1GbE/2.5GbE on 8 and 16 ports, respectively
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support is provided on 1GbE ports.
• Complete Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 switching capabilities are available.
• Simplified onboarding and management with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance.
