EX3300 Switches Hardware Overview on page 3
Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches provide scalable connectivity for the
enterprise market, including branch offices, campus locations, and data centers. The
switches run the Juniper Networks Junos operating system (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.
Juniper Networks EX3300 Ethernet Switches provide connectivity for low-density
environments.
