EX3200 Line of Ethernet Switches
The Juniper Networks EX3200 line of Ethernet switches offers a simple, cost-effective
solution for low-density branch and regional offices. Deployed in wiring closets to provide
network access for users and other IP-enabled devices, the EX3200 switches offer plug-
and-play 10/100/1000BASE-T connectivity for today’s converged networks.
Both 24- and 48-port fixed-configuration switches are available to provide sufficient port
densities for most branch offices. Optional four-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and two-port
10 GbE uplink modules with pluggable optics are also available to provide high-speed
connections to other EX3200 switches or upstream devices such as aggregation switches
or routers. The uplink modules can be installed in the field without taking the system
offline, delivering a flexible solution for remote facilities.
Converged Communications and Power over Ethernet
The EX3200 Ethernet switches were designed with today’s converged communications
networks in mind. Both the 24- and 48-port platforms offer full and partial Power over
Ethernet (PoE) options to support networked telephones, closed-circuit video cameras,
wireless access points and other IP-enabled devices.
Each EX3200 switch delivers a full 15.4 watts of power for every PoE-enabled port,
eliminating any provisioning concerns so IT doesn’t have to worry about equitable power
distribution. Full (all ports) and partial (eight ports) PoE options ensure that there is a
solution optimized for virtually every environment.
Simplified Maintenance
Most branch and regional offices don’t have the luxury of an IT staff. The EX3200 switch
makes it easy for non-technical workers to keep the network up and running.
The EX3200 switch features modular, field-replaceable fans and power supplies—the
two items most likely to fail on any networking device. Spares can be stored on site
and replaced in literally seconds, dramatically reducing mean-time to repair (MTTR)
and lessening the impact of device failures on employee productivity. And an external
redundant power-supply option makes the internal power supply hot-swappable, allowing
replacements to be installed without powering down the switch.
Juniper Networks Operating System Heritage
Like all EX Series Ethernet Switches, the EX3200 switches run the same Junos OS and
leverages the same time-tested, field-proven technology employed by Juniper Networks
routers to deliver a true enterprise-class switch that exceeds expectations by delivering
carrier-class reliability.
