Juniper Networks EX9214 Ethernet Switches provide high performance, scalable
connectivity, and carrier-class reliability for high-density environments such as
campus-aggregation and data-center networks. The EX9214 switch has a throughput
of up to 13.2 terabits per second (Tbps) or up to 240 Gigabits per second (Gbps) per slot
full duplex. The EX9214 switch is a modular system that provides high availability and
redundancy for all major hardware components, including Routing Engine module (RE
module), Switch Fabric module (SF module), fan trays, and power supplies.
A fully populated EX9214 switch provides a maximum port density of 480 Gigabit Ethernet
ports, 320 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports (240 ports at line rate), or 72 40-Gigabit Ethernet
ports.
You can manage EX9214 switches by using the same interfaces that you use for managing
other devices running the Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS)—the
command-line interface (CLI), the Network and Security Manager (NSM), and Junos
Space.

The Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches run Junos OS, which provides Layer 2
and Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services. The same Junos OS code base that
runs on EX Series switches also runs on all Juniper Networks M Series, MX Series, and
T Series routers and SRX Series Services Gateways.
