EX3200 and EX4200 Switches Hardware Overview
Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches provide scalable connectivity for the
enterprise market, including branch offices, campus locations, and data centers. The
switches run under the Juniper Networks JUNOS Software, which provides Layer 2
and Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services. The same JUNOS code base
that runs on EX Series switches also runs on all Juniper Networks J Series, M Series,
MX Series, and T Series routers.

EX3200 and EX4200 Switch Types
Juniper Networks EX3200 and EX4200 Ethernet Switches are two closely related
product lines:
■ EX3200 switches—Typically, you deploy these switches in branch environments
or wiring closets.
■ EX4200 switches—You can interconnect EX4200 switches to form a Virtual
Chassis that operates as a single network entity. You can deploy these switches
wherever you need a high density of Gigabit Ethernet ports (24 to 480 ports),
redundancy, or the ability to span a single switch across several wiring closets.
