EX2300-C Ethernet Switch
Silent fanless design for low-density branch offices and open-office workgroups.
The Juniper Networks EX2300-C Ethernet Switch offers an economical, entry-level solution in a compact, fanless form factor for access layer deployments in branches, retail, and workgroup environments. To simplify network operations, the EX2300-C is hardware-ready to act as a satellite device to support a Juniper Networks Junos Fusion Enterprise deployment, which can combine several wiring closets into one logical management platform. For smaller deployments, the EX2300 also supports Juniper Networks Virtual Chassis technology, allowing up to four interconnected switches to be managed as a single logical device, delivering a scalable, payas-you-grow solution for expanding networks.
The EX2300-C Ethernet Switch offers a compact, power-efficient, cost-effective solution for low-density branch offices and enterprise workgroups. Featuring a fanless design, the EX2300-C is completely silent, making it ideal for open office deployments and commercial applications such as in retail stores.
The EX2300-C offers 12 front-panel 10/100/1000BASE-T access ports and two optional SFP+ 10GbE uplink ports for connecting to higher level devices. Access ports are available both with and without IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 802.3at PoE+ for powering attached network devices.
Working with a compatible EX Series switch, the EX2300-C supports Juniper’s unique Virtual Chassis technology. Up to three of the switches can be interconnected with a fourth Virtual Chassis-compatible EX Series switch, enabling them to be managed as a single device. The EX2300-C can also act as a satellite device in a Junos Fusion Enterprise deployment, which combines large numbers of access switches into a logical management platform
Fanless Design
Silent, air-cooled switches do not use internal fans, reducing power consumption and improving reliability by eliminating moving parts that can fail.
Virtual Chassis
With Virtual Chassis technology, up to four interconnected EX2300-C switches operate as a single logical device, reducing operational expenses and simplifying management.
Eight QoS Queues
Eight QoS queues per switch port ensure proper prioritization of voice, video, and multiple levels of data traffic, with room to converge other networks, such as building automation and video security systems.
Always-On Reliability
Based on a field-proven Juniper architecture and the Junos OS, EX2300-C switches deliver always-on reliability for every application.
Centralized Management with Junos Fusion
When deployed as satellite devices in a Junos Fusion Enterprise environment, large numbers of EX2300 switches can be managed from a single interface.
Innovative Design
Unique, cost-effective switch design enables new architectures that reduce cost and complexity, while unified management and automation tools consolidate system monitoring.
