Description
Juniper EX9204 Switch Chassis – Manageable – 3 Layer Supported – 2421 W Power Consumption – 5U High – Rack-mountableThe 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.
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.
Three EX9200 chassis options are available, providing full deployment flexibility:
- EX9204 Ethernet Switch, a 4-slot, 5 U chassis that supports up to three line cards
- EX9208 Ethernet Switch, an 8-slot, 8 U chassis that supports up to six line cards
- EX9214 Ethernet Switch, a 14-slot, 16 U chassis that supports up to 12 line cards
All three EX9200 chassis can accommodate any combination of the following EX9200 Ethernet line cards:
- EX9200-15C, a 15-port 100GbE QSFP28 or 40GbE QSFP+ line card
- EX9200-12QS, a multi-rate 12-port 40GbE QSFP+ or 4-port 100GbE QSFP28 line card
- EX9200-40XS, a 40-port 10GbE SFP+ line card that supports MACsec
- EX9200-32XS, a 32-port 10GbE small form factor pluggable transceiver plus (SFP+) line card
- EX9200-40F-M, a 40-port 100FX/1000BASE-X line card supporting MACsec
- EX9200-40F, a 40-port 100FX/1000BASE-X small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) line card
- EX9200-40T, a 40-port 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 line card
- EX9200-6QS, a 6-port 40GbE QSFP+ or 24-port 10GbE SFP+ combo line card
- EX9200-2C-8XS, a 2-port 100GbE C form-factor pluggable (CFP) + 8-port 10GbE SFP+ line card
