EX4600 Switch Hardware Overview
The Juniper Networks EX4600 Ethernet switch is a highly versatile, second generation
solution for campus environments. The EX4600 can be deployed in these environments:
•
Campus distribution
•
Small campus core
•
Top-of-Rack (TOR) in small, low -density data centers
•
Data center distribution in small, low -density data centers
The EX4600 switch can be used in a Virtual Chassis TOR configuration with EX4300
switches. The switch offers a flexible configuration of high-performance 10-gigabit and
40-gigabit ports to add higher port densities, additional scalability, and improved latency
to the EX Series of switches.

EX4600 Hardware
The EX4600-40F switch is a compact 1 U model that provides wire-speed packet
performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. In addition
to a high-throughput Packet Forwarding Engine, the performance of the control plane
running on the EX4600 model is enhanced by the 1.5 Ghz dual core Intel CPU with 8 GB
of memory and 32 GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage.
