The Juniper Networks EX2300 Ethernet Switch offers an economical, entry-level, standalone solution for access layer deployments in branch and remote offices, as well as enterprise campus networks. To simplify network operations, the EX2300 is hardware-ready to act as a satellite device to support a Juniper Networks Junos Fusion Enterprise deployment, which can combine several wiring closets into one logical management platform. For smaller networks, up to four EX2300 switches can be interconnected in a Virtual Chassis configuration, allowing them to be managed as a single switch. 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. The PoE-enabled EX2300 switch includes a maximum system budget of 740 Watts to deliver up to 30 Watts to select ports.
