EX2300 ETHERNET SWITCH

DATASHEET

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.

Additional features include:

• PoE-enabled EX2300 switches can simultaneously deliver up to 15.4 watts of

standards-based 802.3af Class 3 PoE to a maximum of 48 ports or 30 watts of

standards-based 802.3at PoE+ to a maximum of 24 ports, based on a total system

budget of 750 watts.

• Uplink ports can be configured as Virtual Chassis interfaces and connected via

standard 10GbE optics interfaces (optional Virtual Chassis license required).

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.
