EX Series Switches Interfaces Overview
Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches have two types of interfaces: network
interfaces and special interfaces. This topic provides brief information on these interfaces.
For additional information, see the
Junos OS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide
at

.
For information on interface-naming conventions on EX Series Switches, see
“Understanding Interface Naming Conventions on EX Series Switches” on page 1097.

Network Interfaces
Network interfaces connect to the network and carry network traffic. Table 160 on page 1095
lists the types of network interfaces supported on EX Series switches.
Table 160: Network Interface Types and Purposes
Purpose
Type
All EX Series switches allow you to group Ethernet interfaces at the physical layer to form a
single link layer interface, also known as a
link aggregation group (LAG)
or
bundle
. These
aggregated Ethernet interfaces help to balance traffic and increase the uplink bandwidth.
