Product Overview
Product Description
The Juniper Networks EX4300 line of Ethernet switches with Virtual Chassis technology
combines the carrier-class reliability of modular systems with the economics and flexibility
Offering a full suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, the EX4300 enables a
variety of deployments, including campus, branch and data center access. A single 24-
port or 48-port EX4300 switch can be deployed initially. As requirements grow, Juniper
scales up to 10 members,
solution for expanding network environments. A pair of 32-port EX4300 fiber switches
can also be deployed as a consolidated aggregation or small core switch. Additionally, the
EX4300 integrates with QFX3500, QFX3600 and QFX5100 10GbE and 40GbE data center
access switches in a single stack or a Virtual Chassis configuration, enabling non-disruptive
10GbE server upgrades and simplified management of a mixed access environment.
The EX4300 switches can be interconnected over multiple 40GbE quad small formfactor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceiver ports to form a 320 gigabit per second (Gbps)
backplane. A flexible uplink module that supports both 1GbE and 10GbE options is also
available, enabling high-speed connectivity to aggregation- or core-layer switches which
connect multiple floors or buildings.
All EX4300 switches include high availability (HA) features such as redundant, hotswappable internal power supplies and field-replaceable fans to ensure maximum uptime.
In addition, Power over Ethernet (PoE)-enabled EX4300 switch models offer standardsbased 802.3at PoE+ for delivering up to 30 watts on all ports for supporting high-density IP
telephony and 802.11n wireless access point deployments.

The EX4300 also features a front panel LCD that offers a flexible
interface for performing device bring-up and configuration
rollbacks, reporting switch alarm and LED status, or restoring the

Carrier-class hardware: The EX4300 leverages a purposebuilt packet forwarding engine ASIC, the EX-PFE, which
integrates much of the same intellectual property used
in Juniper Networks carrier-class routers. As a result, the
EX4300 delivers the same predictable, scalable functionality
found in the worlds largest networks.
IPv4 and IPv6 routing support: IPv4 and IPv6 Layer 3
routing (OSPF and BGP) is available with an Enhanced
license, enabling highly resilient networks.

class reliability.
Redundant power supplies: The EX4300 line of Ethernet
switches supports internal redundant, load-sharing, hotswappable, and field-replaceable AC and DC power supplies
to maintain uninterrupted operations. Thanks to its compact
footprint, the EX4300 requires significantly less power than
chassis-based switches delivering equivalent port densities.
Hot-swappable fans: The EX4300 includes hot-swappable
fans, providing sufficient cooling even if one of the fans were
to fail.
Non-Stop Bridging (NSB) and Non-Stop Routing (NSR):
Converged Networks
The EX4300 line of Ethernet switches provides the highest levels
of availability for the most demanding converged data, voice,
and video environments, delivering the most reliable platform for
unifying enterprise communications.
The EX4300 supports rich quality of service (QoS) functionality
for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The switches
support 12 QoS queues on every port, enabling them to maintain
multilevel, end-to-end traffic prioritizations. The EX4300 also
supports a wide range of policy options, including priority and
weighted deficit round-robin (WDRR) queuing.

Link Layer Discovery ProtocolMedia Endpoint Discovery (LLDPMED)-based granular PoE/PoE+ management allows the
EX4300 to negotiate PoE/PoE+ usage down to a fraction of a
watt on powered devices, enabling more efficient PoE utilization
across the switch.
To ease deployment, the EX4300 supports the industrystandard LLDP and LLDP-MED, which enable the switches to
automatically discover Ethernet-enabled devices, determine their
power requirements, and assign virtual LAN (VLAN) parameters.
The EX4300 is hardware-ready (with future software support) to
support the IEEE 802.3az standard for Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE) functionality, reducing power consumption of copper
physical layers (PHY) during periods of low link utilization.

Control Service for user authentication and authorization, making
the UAC solution a single source of truth for user and device
authentication and for enforcing role-based security policies.
The EX4300 also provides a full complement of port security
features, including Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
snooping, dynamic ARP inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard, and
media access control (MAC) limiting (per port and per VLAN)
to defend against internal and external spoofing, man-in-the-

E
country to which it is being shipped), RJ-45 cable, RJ-45-to-DB-9 serial port adapter,
and a 19 rack-mount kit. A second power supply is optional to provide resiliency.
The appropriate power cord accompanying that power supply needs to be ordered
separately. Virtual Chassis cables must be ordered separately and can be for any of the
optics supported (40GbE DAC recommended for Virtual Chassis connections).
EFL includes license for OSPFv4/v6, PIM-SM/SSM/DM, IGMP v1/v2/v3 and VRF-Lite. AFL
