EX4600 Ethernet Switch

The EX4600 is a compact, scalable, 10GbE solution for enterprise campus distribution deployments and low-density data center top-of-rack environments. The 4600 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.

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

With Virtual Chassis technology, up to ten interconnected EX4600 switches operate as a single logical device, reducing operational expenses and simplifying management.

MACsec Support

EX4600 switches support IEEE 802.1ae MACsec, providing support for link-layer data confidentiality, data integrity, and data origin authentication.

Secure Campus Fabric

Switches are connected as an IP fabric with EVPN-VXLAN overlay. The IP fabric can extend to connect multiple enterprise buildings, while VXLAN allows stretching Layer 2 (L2) across the network.

Product Description

  • Featuring up to 72 wire-speed 10GbE small form-factor pluggable and pluggable plus transceiver (SFP/SFP+) ports, and up to 12 wire-speed 40GbE quad SFP+ transceiver (QSFP+) ports in a compact one rack unit (1 U) platform, the Juniper Networks® EX4600 Ethernet Switch delivers 1.44 Tbps of Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity to networked devices such as secure routers, servers, and other switches. The EX4600 base switch provides 24 fixed 1GbE SFP/10GbE SFP+ ports1 and 4 fixed 40GbE QSFP+ ports, providing the flexibility to support mixed 1GbE, 10GbE and 40GbE environments. A total of four models are available: two featuring AC power supplies and front-to-back or back-to-front airflow; and two featuring DC power supplies and front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. Each model includes dual power supplies.

    All versions feature two expansion slots that can accommodate optional expansion modules, providing tremendous configuration and deployment flexibility for enterprise distribution networks. Two expansion modules are available:

    • 8xGBASE/10GBASE SFP/SFP+ fiber expansion module2
    • 4x40GbE QSFP+ expansion module3
