Benefits Of The Ex4100 And Ex4100-F Switch - Juniper EX4100 Hardware Manual

The EX4100 switch models have field-replaceable units (FRUs) such as AC/DC power supplies and fan
modules. The EX4100-F (fixed-form) switch models have built-in power supplies and fans.
EX4100 switch models are:
EX4100 gigabit switch models
• EX4100-24P, EX4100-24T, EX4100-48P, and EX4100-48T. See
EX4100-48P, and EX4100-48T" on page
EX4100 multigigabit switch models
• EX4100-24MP and EX4100-48MP. See
EX4100-F (fixed-form) switch models are:
• EX4100-F-24T, EX4100-F-24P, EX4100-F-48P, and EX4100-F-48T. See
F-24T, EX4100-F-48P and EX4100-F-48T" on page
You can manage EX4100 and EX4100-F switches from the cloud and on premise. The switches allow for
simple, efficient, and scalable network management using cloud-based hosted management applications,
on-premise management tools, and APIs.
Because EX4100 and EX4100-F switch models support Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) technologies, you
can deploy them anywhere: core, distribution, or access layer. This aspect of the switch models also
allows for a network overlay that provides uniform multisite connectivity.
Multigigabit port configurations supporting MACsec AES256 encryption allow you to use Wi-Fi 6 access
points to provide secure and scalable bandwidth usage for users and applications.
You can manage EX4100 and EX4100-F switches from the CLI.

Benefits of the EX4100 and EX4100-F Switch

Compact solution —The EX4100 and EX4100-F family of switches are single-rack unit devices. They are
ideal solutions for crowded wiring closets and access switch locations such as data centers, campuses,
and branch offices. They provide carrier-class reliability of modular systems with the economics and
flexibility of stackable platforms.
Virtual Chassis —EX4100 and EX4100-F switches support Virtual Chassis technology. You can
interconnect up to 10 EX4100 and/or EX4100-F switches to form a Virtual Chassis.
High availability —EX4100 and EX4100-F switches provide high availability through redundant power
supplies and fans, graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES), and nonstop bridging and routing when
deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration.
Mist Cloud managed —EX4100 and EX4100-F switches are built to be cloud native. You can manage
activities and features such as onboarding, fast bootup, streaming telemetry, and fast changes (JET) from
