Juniper Networks EX4200 - Manual (Page 30)

Typically, EX4200 switches are used in large branch offices, campus wiring
closets, and top-of-rack locations in a data center.
Both lines have these features:
■ Run under JUNOS Software for EX Series switches
■ Have options of 24-port and 48-port models
■ Have options of full (all ports) or partial (8 ports) Power over Ethernet (PoE)
capability
■ Have optional uplink modules that provide connection to distribution switches
EX3200 Switches
EX3200 switches provide connectivity for low-density environments. Typically, you
deploy these switches in branch environments or wiring closets where only one
switch is required.
EX3200 switches are available in models with either 24 or 48 ports and with either
all ports equipped for Power over Ethernet (PoE) or only 8 ports equipped for PoE.
All models provide ports that have 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet connectors
and optional 1-gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, 10-gigabit small
form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceivers, or 10-gigabit small form-factor pluggable
(XFP) transceivers for use with fiber connections.
EX3200 switches include:
■ A field-replaceable power supply and an optional additional connection to an
external power source.
■ A field-replaceable fan tray with single fan.
■ JUNOS Software with its modular design that enables failed system processes to
gracefully restart.
EX4200 Switches
EX4200 switches provide connectivity for medium- and high-density environments
and scalability for growing networks. These switches can be deployed wherever you
need a high density of Gigabit Ethernet ports (24 to 480 ports) or redundancy.
Typically, EX4200 switches are used in large branch offices, campus wiring closets,
and data centers where they can be positioned as the top device in a rack to provide
connectivity for all the devices in the rack.
You can connect individual EX4200 switches together to form one unit and manage
the unit as a single chassis, called a Virtual Chassis. You can add more member
switches to the Virtual Chassis as needed, up to a total of 10 members.
EX4200 switches are available in models with 24 or 48 ports and with either all ports
equipped for Power over Ethernet (PoE) or only 8 ports equipped for PoE. All models
provide ports that have 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet connectors and optional
1-gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, 10-gigabit small form-factor
