EX2300 Multigigabit Ethernet Switch

The EX2300 Multigigabit Ethernet Switch delivers a compact 1 RU high-density solution for small network environments with space, power, and budget constraints. Multigigabit access ports (1/2.5GbE) deliver the performance and power for wired devices, making them ideal platforms for access layer refreshes or new greenfield deployments.

The switches offer IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)/802.3at PoE+ for powering attached network devices, delivering a unified wired and wireless solution for your Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11ac access points. 

The EX2300 Multigigabit switch is cloud-ready and ZTP-enabled, so you can onboard, configure, and manage it with Juniper Mist™ Wired Assurance for improved connected-device experiences. In addition, the Juniper Mist Cloud streamlines deploying and managing your campus fabric, while Mist AI simplifies operations and improves visibility into the performance of connected devices. EX2300 Multigigabit switches support Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology, which simplifies operations by interconnecting up to four switches that can be managed as a single logical device.

Features + Benefits

Juniper Mist Wired Assurance
Claim, configure, and troubleshoot switches with a few clicks. Wired Assurance delivers better experiences for connected devices through AI-powered automation and service-level expectations (SLEs) with Mist’s AI engine and microservices cloud.
The EX Switches provide rich streaming telemetry data to enable the insights for switch health metrics and anomaly detection. Streamline IT operations, reduce mean time to repair, and deliver optimized experiences across wired and wireless.
Virtual Chassis
EX2300 Virtual Chassis configurations operate as highly resilient unified systems, providing simplified management.
Entry-Level Multigigabit Switch
Future-proof investments using existing cabling infrastructure as the industry transitions and standardizes on multigigabit speeds.
Eight QoS Queues
Eight QoS queues per switch port ensure proper prioritization of voice, video, and multiple levels of data traffic, with room to converge other networks, such as building automation and video security systems.

Product Description

  • The Juniper Networks® EX2300 line of Ethernet switches offers a compact, high-performance solution for supporting today’s converged network access deployments.

    Each EX2300 switch includes an ASIC-based Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) with an integrated CPU to consistently deliver wire-rate forwarding, even with all control plane features enabled. Based on existing, field-proven Juniper Networks technology, the PFE brings the same level of carrier-class performance and reliability to the EX2300 switches that Juniper Networks routers bring to the world’s largest service provider networks.

    Select EX2300 models also support the 802.3af Class 3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 802.3at PoE+ standards for supporting networked devices such as telephones, video cameras, IEEE 802.11ac WLAN access points, and videophones in converged networks. The PoE-enabled EX2300 switches include a maximum system budget of 750 watts to deliver up to 30 watts to select ports.

    Multiple EX2300 models are available, including versions offering multigigabit (up to 2.5 Gbps) PoE+ access ports that can accommodate higher-speed IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 access points, enabling the switches to support more wireless users.

    The EX2300 fixed-configuration Ethernet switches provide exceptional value to enterprise customers by supporting the following key technologies:

    • Virtual Chassis technology enables up to four interconnected EX2300 switches to form a single logical device.
    • Flexible 1GbE SFP/10GbE SFP+ uplinks provide high-speed connectivity to aggregation layer switches or other upstream devices.
    • Up to 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are available with or without PoE/PoE+.
    • Models offering 24 and 48 multigigabit ports support 1GbE/2.5GbE on 8 and 16 ports, respectively
    • Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support is provided on 1GbE ports.
    • Complete Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 switching capabilities are available.
    • Simplified onboarding and management with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance.

    Additional features include:

    • PoE-enabled EX2300 switches can simultaneously deliver up to 15.4 watts of standards-based 802.3af Class 3 PoE to a maximum of 48 ports or 30 watts of standards-based 802.3at PoE+ to a maximum of 24 ports, based on a total system budget of 750 watts.
    • Uplink ports can be configured as Virtual Chassis interfaces and connected via standard 10GbE optics interfaces (optional Virtual Chassis license required).
    • Fixed power supply and uplink ports ensure operational simplicity.
    • Low power consumption, low acoustic fans, and a small 10-inch deep footprint enable flexible, environmentally friendly deployment.
    • Support for L2 protocols as well as L3 protocols like RIP and static routing are included in the base license.
    • Support is available for IPv6 management, including neighbor discovery, telnet, SSH, DNS, system log, and NTP.
    • A single release train for Juniper Networks Junos operating system is supported to ensure a consistent control plane feature implementation.
    • Modular Junos OS prevents a switch reboot if a single protocol feature fails.
    • Built-in Web interface (Juniper Networks J-Web Software) is provided.
    • RJ-45 serial console port is available.
    • USB mini console port is included on 1GbE access switch models.
    • Out-of-band Ethernet management port is provided.
    • Reduction of Hazardous Waste (RoHS) is certified.
