The Juniper Networks EX4600 Ethernet switch is a highly versatile, second generation solution for
campus environments. The EX4600 can be deployed in these environments:
• Campus distribution
• Small campus core
• Top-of-rack in small, low -density data centers
• Data center distribution in small, low -density data centers
In addition to operating as a standalone switch, the EX4600 switch can act as a member switch in a non-
Virtual Chassis , a Virtual Chassis composed entirely of EX4600 switches, as well as participate as
mixed
member switches in a mixed Virtual Chassis with EX4300 switches. The switch offers a flexible
configuration of high-performance 10-gigabit and 40-gigabit ports to add higher port densities,
additional scalability, and improved latency to the EX Series of switches.
