Juniper Networks EX2300-48MP EX2300-48MP-VC

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.

Architecture and Key Components

Cloud Management with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance Driven by Mist AI

Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, a cloud-based service driven by Mist AI to claim, configure, manage, and troubleshoot the EX2300, delivers AI-powered automation and service levels to ensure a better experience for connected devices. Wired Assurance leverages rich Junos switch telemetry data to simplify operations, reduce mean time to repair, and improve visibility. Wired Assurance offers the following features:

• Day 0 operations—Onboard switches seamlessly by claiming a greenfield switch or adopting a brownfield switch with a single activation code for true plug-and-play simplicity.
• Day 1 operations—Implement a template-based configuration model for bulk rollouts of traditional and campus fabric deployments, while retaining the flexibility and control required to apply custom site- or switch-specific attributes. Automate provisioning of ports via Dynamic Port Profiles.
• Day 2 operations—Leverage the AI in Juniper Mist Wired Assurance to meet service-level expectations such as throughput, successful connects, and switch health with key pre- and post-connection metrics (see Figure 1). Add the self-driving capabilities in Marvis Actions to detect loops, add missing VLANs, fix misconfigured ports, identify bad cables, isolate flapping ports, and discover persistently failing clients (see Figure 2). And perform software upgrades easily through Juniper Mist Cloud.
