Juniper EX2300 24MP Ethernet Switch Features
Managing AI-Driven Campus Fabric with the Juniper Mist Cloud
Juniper Mist Wired Assurance brings cloud management and Mist AI to campus fabric.
It sets a new standard moving away from traditional network management towards AI-driven operations, while delivering better experiences to connected devices.
The Juniper Mist Cloud streamlines deployment and management of campus fabric architectures by allowing :
- Automated deployment and zero touch deployment
- Anomaly detection
- Root cause analysis
High Availability Features
To avoid the complexities of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) without sacrificing network resiliency, the EX2300 employs a redundant trunk group (RTG) to provide the necessary port redundancy and simplify switch configuration.
Experience enhanced reliability and availability with cross-member link aggregation, enabling redundant connections in a Virtual Chassis setup.
Junos Operating System
The EX2300 switches run the same Junos OS that is used by other Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches, QFX Series Switches, Juniper Routers, Juniper SRX Firewalls, and the Juniper NFX Series Network Services Platform.
By utilizing a common operating system, Juniper delivers a consistent implementation and operation of control plane features across all products.
These attributes are fundamental to the core value of the software, enabling all Junos OS-powered products to be updated simultaneously with the same software release.
Moreover. all features are fully regression-tested, making each new release a true superset of the previous version.
Customers can deploy the software with complete confidence that all existing capabilities are maintained and operate in the same way.
Converged Environments
The Juniper EX2300 provides the highest levels of flexibility and features in its class for the most demanding converged data, voice, and video environments, delivering a reliable platform for unifying enterprise communications.
By providing a full 15.4 watts of Class 3 PoE to VoIP telephones, closed-circuit security cameras, wireless access points, and other IP-enabled devices, the EX2300 delivers a future-proofed solution for converging disparate networks onto a single IP infrastructure.
The EX2300 PoE switches also support 802.3at standards-based PoE+, delivering 30 watts for powering networked devices such as IEEE 802.11ac wireless access points, and videophones that might require more power than available with IEEE 802.3af.
LLDP-MED-based granular PoE management allows the EX2300 to negotiate PoE usage down to a fraction of a watt on powered devices.
In addition, the EX2300 supports rich quality-of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic.
The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, as a result, it enabling them to maintain multilevel, end-to-end traffic prioritizations.
Juniper EX2300 24MP Ethernet Switch Security
The EX2300 functions as an enforcement point in Access Policy Infrastructure, offering Layer 2-4 policy enforcement based on user identity, location, device, or a mix of these as well as standards-based 802.1X port level access control for multiple devices per port.
A user’s identity, device type, machine posture check, and location can be used to determine whether access should be granted and for how long.
If access is granted, the switch provides access to the network based on authorization attributes sent by the authentication server.
The EX2300 also provides a full complement of integrated port security and threat detection features.
Flex Licensing
Juniper Flex licensing offers a common, simple, and flexible licensing model for EX Series access switches.
enabling customers to purchase features based on their network and business needs.
Flex licensing is offered in Standard, Advanced, and Premium tiers. Standard tier features are available with the Junos OS image that ships with EX Series switches.
Additional features can be unlocked with the purchase of a Flex Advanced or Flex Premium license.
The Flex Advanced and Premium licenses for the EX Series platforms are class based, determined by the number of access ports on the switch.
Class 1 (C1) switches have 12 ports, Class 2 (C2) switches have 24 Ports, and Class 3 (C3) switches have 32 or 48 Ports.
The EX2300 switches support both subscription and perpetual Flex licenses.
Subscription licenses are offered for three- and five-year terms.
In addition to Junos features, the Flex Advanced and Premium subscription licenses include Juniper Mist Wired Assurance.
Flex Advanced and Premium subscription licenses also allow portability across the same tier and class of switches, so, it ensuring investment protection for the customer.
