Additionally, a multigigabit model, the EX4300-48MP, supports IEEE 802.3bz-compliant
100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps speeds on access ports. This enables
802.11ac Wave 2 access points, which require higher bandwidth, to connect to the switch.
The EX4300 multigigabit switch also supports up to 95 watts of power on any of the
access ports, enabling PoE++ devices requiring more than 30 watts to connect to and draw
power from the switch.
The EX4300 multigigabit switch also enables higher levels of Media Access Control

Each switch ships standard with one power supply (including a power cord for the country to which it is being shipped),
RJ-45 cable, RJ-45-to-DB-9 serial port adapter, and a 19 in. 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 is recommended for
Virtual Chassis connections).

EFL includes license for OSPFv4/v6, PIM-SM/SSM/DM, IGMP v1/v2/v3, and VRF-Lite. AFL includes license for IS-IS
and BGP (EFL needs to be purchased and installed separately before installing AFL).
