Juniper Networks EX4200-48T Ethernet Switch Information:
The Juniper Networks EX4200-48T Ethernet Switch, a member of the EX4200 line with Virtual Chassis technology, stands as a high-performance Layer 3 switch equipped with 40 ports of 10/100/1000Base-T and an additional 8 ports of 10/100/1000Base-T. This switch seamlessly combines the reliability of modular systems with the economic benefits and flexibility of stackable switches, presenting an ideal solution for both data center and campus environments. Catering to the demands of high-performance businesses, the EX4200-48T belongs to a new class of enterprise switches that deliver security, scalability, and constant connectivity.
This switch, part of the Juniper Networks EX4200 line with Virtual Chassis technology, unites the compact, pay-as-you-grow economics and low power and cooling requirements of stackable switches with the performance, availability, operational ease, and port densities of chassis-based platforms, effectively meeting the dynamic needs of today’s high-performance enterprises. Boasting a full suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities as part of the base software, the EX4200-48T is versatile enough to serve a variety of high-performance applications, including branch, campus, and data center access deployments, as well as Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) aggregation scenarios. Initial deployment can be a single 24-port or 48-port switch, and as requirements expand, Juniper Networks Virtual Chassis technology enables interconnection of up to 10 EX4200 switches over a 128 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) backplane, managed seamlessly as a single device. This ensures a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments.With flexible Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) uplink options, the EX4200-48T facilitates high-speed connectivity to aggregation- or core-layer switches, linking multiple floors or buildings.
The switch includes high-availability (HA) features such as redundant, hot-swappable internal power supplies and field-replaceable, multi-blower fan trays to ensure maximum uptime. Moreover, the base EX4200-48T model offers Class 3 Power over Ethernet (PoE), delivering 15.4 watts on the first eight ports to support networked devices such as telephones, video cameras, and wireless LAN (WLAN) access points in low-density converged networks. Full PoE options, delivering 15.4 watts on all 24 or 48 ports, make it an ideal choice for high-density IP telephony deployments.
