Features And Benefits - Juniper EX 3200 24T Specifications

The EX3200 offers an integrated Routing Engine (RE) that runs
the same modular Juniper Networks Junos OS as Juniper's router
products to ensure the consistent implementation and operation
of each control plane feature across an entire Juniper Networks
infrastructure.
Each EX3200 switch includes an integrated application-specific
integrated circuit (ASIC)-based Packet Forwarding Engine, the
EX-PFE, to consistently deliver wire-rate forwarding even with all
control-plane features enabled. Based on existing field-proven
Juniper Networks technology, the EX-PFE and RE bring the same
level of carrier-class performance and reliability to the EX3200
line of Ethernet switches that Juniper Networks routers bring to
the world's largest service provider networks.
Architecture and Key Components
The EX3200 occupies a single rack unit and deliver a compact
solution for crowded wiring closets and access locations where
space and power are at a premium.
Each EX3200 switch supports optional front-panel uplink modules
offering either four GbE ports or two 10 GbE ports with pluggable
optics for high-speed backbone or link-aggregation connections
between wiring closets and upstream aggregation switches. Uplink
modules can be installed without powering down the switch,
enabling users to add high-speed connectivity at any time or to
migrate from GbE to 10 GbE uplinks, delivering the ultimate in
flexible, high-performance interconnectivity.
The EX3200 also features a front-panel LCD display that offers a
flexible interface for performing device bring-up and configuration

rollbacks, for reporting switch alarm and LED status, or for restoring
the switch to its default settings.
A dedicated rear-panel RJ-45 Ethernet port is available for out-of-
band management, while a rear-panel USB port can be used to
easily upload Junos OS and configuration files.

Features and Benefits

High Availability Features
• Field-replaceable power supplies: The EX3200 supports field-
replaceable AC and DC power supplies, reducing MTTR. When
deployed with an optional redundant power supply (RPS) unit*,
the internal replaceable power supply on the EX3200 becomes
hot-swappable.
• Hot-swappable fan tray: The EX3200 includes a hot-
swappable, field-replaceable fan tray, reducing MTTR.
• Carrier-class hardware: The EX3200 leverages a purpose-built
packet forwarding engine ASIC—the EX-PFE—which integrates
much of the same intellectual property used in Juniper
Networks carrier routers. As a result, the EX3200 delivers the
same predictable, scalable functionality found in the world's
largest networks.
• Redundant Trunk Group (RTG): To avoid the complexities of
the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) without sacrificing network
resiliency, the EX3200 employs a redundant trunk group to
provide the necessary port redundancy and simplify switch
configuration.
