Juniper Networks EX8208 Ethernet Switches provide high performance, scalable connectivity, and
carrier-class reliability for high-density environments such as campus-aggregation and data-center networks.
The EX8208 switch is a modular system that provides high availability and redundancy for all major hardware
components, including Routing Engines, switch fabric, fan tray (redundant fans), and power supplies.
You can form an EX8200 Virtual Chassis by connecting individual EX8200 switches to an XRE200 External
Routing Engine. A Virtual Chassis is multiple switches connected together that operate as a single network
entity.
