You can manage EX9214 switches by using the same interfaces that you use for managing other devices
running the Juniper Networks Junos operang system (Junos OS)—the CLI, the Network and Security
Manager (NSM), and Junos Space.
Benets of the EX9214 Switch
Simplied network architecture—EX9214 switches deliver a simple, secure, virtualized network
environment that increases business agility. They are ideal for simplifying campus, data center, and
combined campus and data center network environments by collapsing network layers. In a mulchassis
link aggregaon (MC-LAG) conguraon in the campus, you can use EX9214 switches to eliminate
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP); they collapse the core and aggregaon layers, thereby simplifying the
network architecture and network operaons. In a data center, you can use EX9204 switches to collapse
core and aggregaon layers. In combined campus and data center environments, EX9214 switches
consolidate network layers to simplify the network architecture and operaons.
MACsec support—EX9200-40F-M and EX9200-40XS line cards and EX9200-20F-MIC for EX9200-
MPC line card supports IEEE 802.1AE MACsec with AES-256 bit encrypon, ensuring link-layer data
condenality, data integrity, and data origin authencaon.
Soware
The Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches run Junos OS, which provides Layer 2 and Layer 3
switching, roung, and security services.
Chassis Physical Specicaons
The EX9214 switch is 16 rack units (16 U) in size. Three EX9214 switches can t in a standard 48 U
rack. Each EX9214 switch is designed to opmize rack space and cabling.
