EX2200 switches provide:
Up to four uplink ports
12 (compact, fanless model), 24, or 48 built-in network ports with 10/100/1000BASE-T
Gigabit Ethernet connectors
Virtual Chassis capability—Starting with Junos OS Release 12.2, you can connect up to
four EX2200 switches (including EX2200-C switches) together to form one unit that
you manage as a single chassis, called a Virtual Chassis. For information about
understanding and configuring Virtual Chassis, see Virtual Chassis Feature Guide for
EX2200, EX3300, EX4200, EX4500 and EX4550 Switches.
Power over Ethernet (PoE or PoE+) on all network ports (in PoE-capable models)
Each EX2200 switch except the EX2200-C switch model has four uplink ports that
support 1-gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers for use with fiber
connections and copper connections.
Each EX2200-C switch has two dual-purpose uplink ports. Each dual uplink port consists
of an RJ-45 port (in which you can connect a copper Ethernet cable) and an SFP port
(into which you can plug a transceiver). Only one of the ports can be active at a time. By
default, if you connect a copper Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port, this port becomes the
active port provided that there is no connection made on the other port. If you plug a
transceiver into the SFP port, this port becomes the active port whether or not a copper
Ethernet cable is connected to the other port. You can change this default behavior by
explicitly configuring a media type—copper or fiber—for the dual-purpose port by using
the command. For more information, see Configuring the Media Type on
media-type
Dual-Purpose Uplink Ports (CLI Procedure).
You can use an SFP uplink port connection between EX2200 switches to interconnect
the switches into an EX2200 Virtual Chassis. For this, you must explicitly configure an
SFP port each on the switches to be connected as a VCP. See Setting an Uplink Port on
an EX Series Switch as a Virtual Chassis Port (CLI Procedure).
For information about the supported optical and copper interfaces, see
Transceivers Supported on EX2200 Switches" on page
Each EX2200 switch except the EX2200-C switch model has an RJ-45 console port that
accepts a cable with RJ-45 connector.
The EX2200-C switch has two console ports: an RJ-45 port and a Mini-USB Type-B port.
The RJ-45 console port accepts a cable with an RJ-45 connector and the Mini-USB
Type-B console port accepts a Mini-B plug (5-pin) connector to connect to the console
management device. The switch activates only one console port at a time, either the
RJ-45 console port or the Mini USB type-B console port. By default, the RJ-45 port is the
active console port and the Mini-USB Type-B port is the passive console port. You can
change the default setting of a console port by using the
Configuring the Console Port Type (CLI Procedure).
