Architecture and Key Components
The EX2300 occupies a single rack unit, delivering a compact solution for crowded wiring closets and access locations where space and power are at a premium. The EX2300 switch’s 10-inch/12-inch depth and low acoustics also make it ideal for open office deployments. For silent operation requirements, please see the EX2300-C, a c ompact, fanless version of the EX2300.
Each EX2300 switch supports four fixed front-panel 1GbE/10GbE uplink ports (six 1/10GbE uplink ports on the 48-port multigigabit model) with pluggable optics (purchased separately) for high-speed backbone or link aggregation connections between wiring closets and upstream aggregation switches. The 1GbE EX2300 access switch models also feature a front-panel mode button that offers a simple interface for bringing devices up and selecting LED modes.
A dedicated rear panel RJ-45 Ethernet port is available for outof-band management, while a rear panel USB port can be used to easily upload the Junos OS and configuration files.

Virtual Chassis Technology
The EX2300 supports Juniper’s unique Virtual Chassis technology, enabling up to four interconnected EX2300 switches to be managed as a single logical device, delivering a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments.
While EX2300 switches can be interconnected over any of the front-panel uplink ports using standard 10GbE SFP+ transceivers (sold separately), these ports can also be configured as 1GbE/10GbE uplinks to aggregation devices by disabling the Virtual Chassis technology.
When deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration, the EX2300 switches elect a primary and a backup switch based on a set of preconfigured policies or criteria. The primary switch automatically creates and updates the switching and optional routing tables on all other Virtual Chassis switch members. Switches can be added to or removed from the Virtual Chassis configuration without service disruption.
EX2300 Virtual Chassis configurations operate as highly resilient unified systems, providing simplified management using a single IP address, single telnet session, single command-line interface (CLI), automatic version checking, and automatic configuration. The EX2300 switches are also capable of local switching, so packets coming into a port destined for another port on the same switch do not have to traverse the Virtual Chassis, increasing forwarding capacities.
EX2300 Virtual Chassis configurations implement the same slot/module/port numbering schema as other Juniper Networks chassis-based products, providing true chassis-like operations. By using a consistent operating system and a single configuration file, all switches in a Virtual Chassis configuration are treated as a single device, simplifying overall system maintenance and management.
Multigigabit Switches
IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 access points require switch ports capable of handling up to 2.5 Gbps in order to support the growing number of wireless devices and the amount of traffic they produce. To address this need, specific multigigabit EX2300 models now offer 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps access ports to support these increased bandwidth requirements over existing Category 5e cabling. These switches run the same Junos image and support all the same software features as other EX2300 models.
The EX2300 multigigabit switches can interoperate with other EX Series switches in Virtual Chassis deployments, protecting existing customer investments by enabling them to add multigigabit support to their existing Juniper network deployments.
The EX2300 multigigabit switches support PoE+ on all access ports, provided the power demand is within the PoE budget.
Model | 1 Gbps Ports | 1/2.5 Gbps Ports | PoE/ PoE+ | Uplinks | Fans | Air Flow |
EX2300- 24MP | 8-23 | 0-7 | All access ports | 4 SFP+ | 3 | Side-side |
EX2300- 48MP | 0-15; 32-47 | 16-31 | All access ports | 6 SFP+ | 4 | Side-side |
Virtual Chassis technology simplifies network management for smaller deployments. Up to four interconnected EX2300 switches can be managed as a single device utilizing a single Junos OS image and a single configuration file, reducing the overall number of units to monitor and manage. When the Junos OS is upgraded on the primary switch in an EX2300 Virtual Chassis configuration, the software is automatically upgraded on all other member switches at the same time.
The EX2300 includes port profiles that allow network administrators to automatically configure ports with security, QoS, and other parameters based on the type of device connected to the port. Six preconfigured profiles are available, including default, desktop, desktop plus IP phone, WLAN access point, routed uplink, and Layer 2 uplink. Users can select from the existing profiles or create their own and apply them through the command-line interface (CLI), J-Web Software interface, or management system.
In addition, a feature called system snapshot makes a copy of all software files used to run the switch—including the Junos operating system, the active configuration, and the rescue configuration. These files can be used to reboot the switch at the next power-up or as a backup boot option. The Junos OS software can also be preinstalled on a flash drive and used to boot the EX2300 at any time.
Another feature, called automatic software download, enables network administrators to easily upgrade the EX2300 using the DHCP message exchange process to download and install software packages. Users simply configure the automatic software download feature on EX2300 switches acting as DHCP clients and establish a path to the server where the software package file is installed. The server then communicates the path to the software package file through DHCP server messages.
The ZTP feature allows a DHCP server to push configuration details and software images to multiple switches at boot-up time.
Campus Fabric Deployments
Juniper campus fabrics support these validated architectures with the EX2300 switch playing the role of access switch in a Virtual Chassis:
- EVPN multihoming (collapsed core or distribution): A collapsed core architecture combines the core and distribution layers into a single switch, turning the traditional three-tier hierarchal network into a two-tier network. This eliminates the need for STP across the campus network by providing multihoming capabilities from the access to the core layer. EVPN multihoming can be deployed and managed using the Juniper Mist cloud.
- Core-Distribution: A pair of interconnected EX Series core or distribution switches provide L2 EVPN and L3 VXLAN gateway support. The EVPN-VXLAN network between the distribution and core layers offers two modes: centrally or edge routed bridging overlay.
In all these EVPN-VXLAN deployment modes, EX2300 switches can be used in Virtual Chassis configurations.
Features and Benefits
Managing AI-Driven Campus Fabric with the Juniper Mist Cloud
Juniper Mist Wired Assurance brings cloud management and Mist AI to campus fabric. It sets a new standard moving away from traditional network management towards AI-driven operations, while delivering better experiences to connected devices. The Juniper Mist Cloud streamlines deployment and management of campus fabric architectures by allowing:
- Automated deployment and zero touch deployment
- Anomaly detection
- Root cause analysis
High Availability Features
To avoid the complexities of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) without sacrificing network resiliency, the EX2300 employs a redundant trunk group (RTG) to provide the necessary port redundancy and simplify switch configuration. It also supports cross-member link aggregation, which allows redundant link aggregation connections between devices in a single Virtual Chassis configuration, providing an additional level of reliability and availability.
Junos Operating System
The EX2300 switches run the same Junos OS that is used by other Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches, QFX Series Switches, Juniper Routers, Juniper SRX Firewalls, and the Juniper NFX Series Network Services Platform. By utilizing a common operating system, Juniper delivers a consistent implementation and operation of control plane features across all products. To maintain that consistency, the Junos OS adheres to a highly disciplined development process that uses a single source code, and it employs a highly available modular architecture that prevents isolated failures from bringing down an entire system.
These attributes are fundamental to the core value of the software, enabling all Junos OS-powered products to be updated simultaneously with the same software release. All features are fully regression-tested, making each new release a true superset of the previous version. Customers can deploy the software with complete confidence that all existing capabilities are maintained and operate in the same way.
Converged Environments
The EX2300 provides the highest levels of flexibility and features in its class for the most demanding converged data, voice, and video environments, delivering a reliable platform for unifying enterprise communications.
By providing a full 15.4 watts of Class 3 PoE to VoIP telephones, closed-circuit security cameras, wireless access points, and other IP-enabled devices, the EX2300 delivers a future-proofed solution for converging disparate networks onto a single IP infrastructure. The EX2300 PoE switches also support 802.3at standards-based PoE+, delivering 30 watts for powering networked devices such as IEEE 802.11ac wireless access points, and videophones that might require more power than available with IEEE 802.3af.
To ease deployment, the EX2300 supports the industrystandard Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and LLDPMedia Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) protocol, enabling the switches to automatically discover Ethernet-enabled devices, determine their power requirements, and assign virtual LAN (VLAN) membership. LLDP-MED-based granular PoE management allows the EX2300 to negotiate PoE usage down to a fraction of a watt on powered devices, enabling more efficient PoE utilization across the switch.
In addition, the EX2300 supports rich quality-of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling them to maintain multilevel, end-to-end traffic prioritizations. The EX2300 also supports a wide range of policy options, including strict priority, low latency, weighted random early detection (WRED), and shaped-deficit weighted roundrobin (SDWRR) queuing.
Security
Working as an enforcement point in Access Policy Infrastructure, the EX2300 provides both standards-based 802.1X portlevel access control for multiple devices per port, as well as Layer 2-4 policy enforcement based on user identity, location, device, or a combination of these. A user’s identity, device type, machine posture check, and location can be used to determine whether access should be granted and for how long. If access is granted, the switch provides access to the network based on authorization attributes sent by the authentication server. The switch can also apply security policies, QoS policies, or both, or it can mirror user traffic to a central location for logging, monitoring, or threat detection by intrusion prevention systems.
The EX2300 also provides a full complement of integrated port security and threat detection features, including Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping, dynamic ARP inspection (DAI), and media access control (MAC) limiting to defend against internal and external spoofing, and man-in-themiddle and denial of service (DoS) attacks.
Flex Licensing
Juniper Flex licensing offers a common, simple, and flexible licensing model for EX Series access switches, enabling customers to purchase features based on their network and business needs.
Flex licensing is offered in Standard, Advanced, and Premium tiers. Standard tier features are available with the Junos OS image that ships with EX Series switches. Additional features can be unlocked with the purchase of a Flex Advanced or Flex Premium license.
