Juniper Networks EX4500 Ethernet Switches provide high-density 10-gigabit ports for aggregation layer
and data center top-of-rack deployments, and provide options for data center optimized airflow (hot
aisle/cold aisle). You can configure EX4500 switches in a Virtual Chassis, or in a mixed Virtual Chassis with
EX4200 switches or EX4550 switches or both, in a total of up to 10 members.
You can manage EX4500 switches using the same interfaces that you use for managing other devices
running Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS)-the command-line interface (CLI) and the
J-Web graphical interface.
