Information Technology

The EX9200 line of programmable, flexible and scalable modular Ethernet core switches simplifies the deployment of cloud applications, virtualized servers and rich media collaboration tools across campus and data center environments.

As a key element of Juniper's comprehensive portfolio of resilient campus switching, security, routing, and wireless products, the EX9200 Ethernet Switch enables collaboration and provides simple and secure access to mission critical applications. In the data center, the EX9200 simplifies network architectures and network operations to better align the network with today's dynamic business environments.

The EX9200 is also a key component of Juniper's MetaFabric architecture, which provides a simple, open and smart approach to building data center networks. Additionally, the EX9200 supports data center interconnect (DCI), critical to workload mobility and application availability, by delivering leading technologies such as MPLS, VPLS, and Ethernet VPN (E-VPN).

For networks evolving to SDN, the EX9200 integrates with VMware NSX SDN controllers and can act as a VXLAN Layer 2 and Layer 3 Gateway. The open and standards-based EX9200 platform also interoperates with the Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB) to support detailed management capabilities and integrates with Juniper Networks Contrail SDN controller to allow users to choose their preferred SDN systems.

The EX9200 is based on Juniper One custom silicon, an ASIC designed by Juniper which provides a programmable Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) and allows for native support of networking protocols such as virtualization using MPLS over IP and overlay network protocols. ASIC micro code changes delivered through updates to Juniper Networks Junos ® operating system provide investment protection by allowing existing hardware to support new or future networking protocols.

The programmability of the EX9200 allows it to support Junos OS-based automation along with the Junos SDK, which enables integration with Puppet and other automation applications. The EX9200's network programmability also enables integration with leading orchestration applications such as OpenStack.

The EX4650 line of Ethernet switches delivers high scale, high availability, and high performance for campus distribution deployments. The EX4650 offers fixed 1GbE/10GbE/25GbE ports with 40GbE/100GbE uplinks that support advanced campus environments, allowing them to provide the onramp to multicloud, to deploy cutting edge cloud applications, and to embrace IoT technology. It is also flexible enough for use in enterprise onpremises top-of-rack and service provider aggregation deployments.

Product Description

The Juniper Networks® EX4650 Ethernet Switch delivers 2 Tbps of Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity to networked devices such as secure routers, servers, and other switches. Featuring 48 wire-speed 10GbE/25GbE small form-factor pluggable and pluggable plus transceiver (SFP/SFP+/SFP28) ports and 8 wirespeed 40GbE/100GbE quad SFP+ transceiver (QSFP+/QSP28) ports in a compact 1 U platform, the EX4650 provides the flexibility to support mixed 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE environments. Four models are available: two featuring AC power supplies with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow, and two featuring DC power supplies with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. All models include dual power supplies.

Key Components

The EX4650 switch includes native 25GbE (fiber only) and either 40GbE or 100GbE fixed-configuration options with rich L2, L3, Ethernet VPN (EVPN), and MPLS features. The EX4650 switches run the same reliable, high-performance Juniper Networks Junos® operating system used by Juniper Networks EX Series and QFX Series Ethernet Switches, SRX Series Services Gateways,and Juniper routers, ensuring a consistent control plane feature implementation and user experience across the entire Juniper infrastructure.

EX4650 Switch Models

The EX4650 switch is a compact, 1 U platform that provides high throughput, very low latency, and a rich set of Junos OS features. The performance of the EX4650's control plane is further enhanced with a powerful 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB of memory and 64 GB SSD storage.

The EX4650-48Y is a 25GbE/100GbE campus distribution switch offering 48 SFP28 transceiver ports and eight QSFP28 ports that can be configured as 8x40GbE or 8x100GbE ports, with an aggregate throughput of 2 Tbps or 1.49 Bpps per switch. For added flexibility, each QSFP28 port can also be configured as 4x25GbE ports using breakout cables, increasing the total number of supported 25GbE ports to 80 per switch.

EX4650-48Y Highlights

The EX4650-48Y switch features the following:

• Support for high-density, multispeed 1GbE/10GbE/25GbE downlinks and 40GbE/100GbE uplinks for access and aggregation configurations, with up to 48 25GbE ports and up to eight 100GbE uplink ports in a 1 U platform
• Throughput of up to 2 Tbps L2 and L3 performance, with latency as low as 550 nanoseconds
• A 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB memory and 64 GB SSD storage
• Feature-rich automation capabilities with support for Python and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
• Support for virtualization protocols such as Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN)
• Advanced Junos OS features such as EVPN, BGP add-path, MPLS, L3 VPN, and IPv6 6PE

The EX9200 line of programmable, flexible and scalable modular Ethernet core switches simplifies the deployment of cloud applications, virtualized servers and rich media collaboration tools across campus and data center environments.

The EX9200 is also a key component of Juniper's AI-Driven Enterprise. The switch decouples the overlay network from the underlay with technologies such as Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), addressing the needs of the modern enterprise network by allowing network administrators to create logical L2 networks over different L3 networks.
