Benets of the EX2300 Switch
Economical—EX2300 switches oer an economical, entry-level, standalone soluon for access-layer
deployments in branch and remote oces, as well as enterprise campus networks. 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps
access port opons provide high speed opons, especially when connecng to 802.11ac Wave 2 access
points.
High exibility and class leading features—EX2300 switches provide the highest levels of exibility and
features in its class to support data, voice, and video environments, delivering a reliable plaorm for
unifying enterprise communicaons.
Support for Juniper Networks Junos Fusion Enterprise—EX2300 switches can act as a satellite device to
support a Juniper Networks Junos Fusion Enterprise deployment, which can combine several wiring
closets into one logical management plaorm. In smaller networks, you can connect up to four EX2300
switches in a Virtual Chassis conguraon, allowing them to be managed as a single switch.
EX2300 Switches First View
EX2300 switches are available in models with 12 or 24, or 48 built-in network ports that support RJ-45
cable connectors. The compact, fanless EX2300-C switches have 12 RJ-45 network ports.
EX2300 switches provide:
• Up to six 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports that support small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+)
transceivers and small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers.
• 12 (in EX2300-C switches), 16, 24, 32, or 48 built-in Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 network ports with
10/100/1000 BASE-T connectors.
• Eight or 16 built-in Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 network ports with 100/1000/2500 BASE-T connectors.
•
Virtual Chassis capability—You can connect up to four EX2300 switches (including EX2300-C
switches) to form one unit that you manage as a single chassis, called a Virtual Chassis .
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) on all RJ-45 network ports (in PoE-
capable models).
Uplink Ports
EX2300-C switches have two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. EX2300 switches except the EX2300-C
switch model and the EX2300-48MP switch model have four 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. The
EX2300-48MP switch model has six 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. These uplink ports support SFP
and SFP+ transceivers. You can use these uplink ports as network ports or congure these ports as
Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) and use them to connect up to four switches by using SFP+ transceivers to
form a Virtual Chassis.
