Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-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 J-EX8208 switch is a modular
system that provides high availability and redundancy for all major hardware components,
including Routing Engines, switch fabric, fan tray, and power supplies.
You can manage J-EX8208 switches using the same Junos OS interfaces that you use
for other Junos OS platforms-the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) and the J-Web
graphical interface.
