Overall, Juniper EX switches will give you what you want for the smooth functioning of your networking. But, before you choose one of them for your business, you should know their categories.

The categories of Juniper EX switches are:

Juniper access switches

Juniper Access Switches belong to the EX Series Switches and are designed for connecting end-user devices to a network. They are typically located at the edge of the network and offer high-density port configurations, advanced security features, and virtualization capabilities.

Juniper Access Switches provide reliable, scalable, and high-performance connectivity for enterprise networks, data centers, and other network environments. They offer various management options and are known for their high reliability, scalability, and performance.

EX2300-C

The EX2300-C Ethernet Switch provides an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for low-density branch offices and enterprise workgroups. With a fanless design, the EX2300-C operates silently, making it an ideal option for commercial settings like retail stores and open office deployments.

It has 12 front-panel access ports that support 10/100/1000BASE-T, and two optional SFP+ 10GbE uplink ports for connecting to higher-level devices. You can choose access ports with or without IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 802.3at PoE+ for powering network devices that are attached to it.

EX2300

The Juniper Networks EX2300 Ethernet Switch is a cost-effective and standalone solution designed for access layer deployments in remote offices, branch offices, and enterprise campus networks. The switch includes a Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) based on an ASIC and an integrated CPU, ensuring consistent wire-rate forwarding while maintaining control plane features.

EX4300

The EX4300 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) switches are small, fixed-configuration devices that can be used as standalone systems or as part of a Virtual Chassis, Virtual Chassis Fabric, or Junos Fusion switching architecture, providing high-performance access for both campus and data center environments.

The EX4300 supports a complete range of Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, enabling various deployments such as branch, campus, and data center access.

EX3400

The EX3400 Ethernet Switches provide a cost-effective option for enterprise access networks that require convergence of data, voice, and video. These 1U devices are compact and have fixed configurations, offering high levels of performance and management typically found only in high-end access switches.

The EX3400 can also function as a satellite device in a Junos Fusion Enterprise deployment, which unifies numerous access switches into a single logical management platform.

Juniper Aggregation switches 

Juniper Aggregation switches are switches designed to connect access layer switches to the core of a network. They are typically located at the aggregation layer, which is between the access and core layers. These switches aggregate traffic from multiple accesses switches and forward it to the core.

These switches have features like high-density port configurations, advanced QoS capabilities, and advanced routing protocols. Also, they are designed to provide high performance, reliability, and scalability for enterprise networks, data centers, and other environments that require efficient network connectivity and management.

EX4600

The Juniper EX4600 Ethernet Switch is a cost-effective and high-performance 10GbE solution that can be used in enterprise campus distribution deployments and low-density data center top-of-rack environments. It is designed to scale with organizations as they grow and comes with features like deployment flexibility, high availability, and management simplification with support for multi-chassis link aggregation (MC-LAG).

Additionally, the EX4600 can provide high availability using unified in-service software upgrades (unified ISSU) which ensures uninterrupted network connectivity and reduces downtime.

EX4650

The EX4650 Ethernet Switch is a small and powerful 10/25/100GbE solution for enterprise campus distribution. It is designed for medium to large businesses to support multi-cloud connectivity and high-density campuses. The switch offers flexible deployment, high availability, and simplified management through features such as Ethernet VPN, Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN/VXLAN), and multi-chassis link aggregation (MC-LAG).

Juniper core switches 

Juniper core switches are high-speed network switches located in the core layer of a network, responsible for routing and forwarding data between different parts of the network. They offer high-density port configurations, advanced QoS capabilities, and routing protocols.

These switches are designed for high performance, scalability, and reliability, and offer advanced features like virtualization and automation to enhance network management. They are used in large enterprise networks, data centers, and service provider networks.

EX9250

The EX9250 range of Ethernet switches is designed to be small, flexible, and scalable, making them ideal for use in corporate networks. By reducing expenses and streamlining operations, these switches provide carrier-grade stability. With Junos Fusion Enterprise and Ethernet VPN, the EX9250 Ethernet switches make it simple to improve campus and data center structures, leading the way to a 100GbE core.

EX9200

The EX9200 Ethernet switch series offers a versatile, adaptable, and expandable framework for delivering critical business applications in corporate campus and data center core settings. These switches make it easier to implement cloud-based apps, virtual servers, and media-rich collaboration software in enterprise campus and data center core and aggregation environments.
