Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 Switch# is top ranked fix-configuration switch that is desired by highly networked enterprise with several remote branch offices or workstations. It includes complete Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions and reliably accelerates hardware-based packet forwarding and powerful packet switching and low latency. It offers network access and PoE support IP phones, desktops, and also other network devices at the network edge.
Ethernet switches will often be thought to be the workhorses of the enterprise network. These buttons are definitely the endpoint link and uplink interfaces that the large company networks absolutely need. When a corporation expects high-end capability and economy in its edge switches, it can go along with fixed configuration switches. Fixed-configuration switches are classified as stackable switches, and they provide a reduced price per port compared to modular switching products.
A fixed-configuration switch is a high capability switching apparatus that will fulfill redundancy requirement at the network edge. They can fit as being a standalone switching dynamo in the wiring closet arrangement. For that high quality company, it’s a top choice in enhancing switching characteristics from the access layer of an enterprise network. Such a switch could have the similar switching power of Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 switch. Its high capacity switching can deliver 136 Gbps throughput and a wire speed of 101 Mpps.
It includes four platform options and includes a 48 port box, with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet ports with either full or partial Power over Ethernet (PoE). The Class 3 PoE 15.4 W supports networked appliances like telephone, video cam and wireless LAN and WAN access points. Full PoE in the switch also supports high density VoIP phones.
Layer 3 switches are equipped for high-performance LAN traffic seamlessly. The advanced packet forwarding capabilities of Layer 3 switches device can match that of routers, and they can be a cost-effective replacement for routers. The only difference between a Layer 3 switch and a router are the human management interface by the network administrator through the LCD panel, whereas routers run on microprocessors.
The Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 switch is a managed platform and supports a variety of features, enhances high accessibility and network access control (NAC). NAC or Unified Access Control in Juniper, enables the switch to rely on access policies than firewalls, VPN gateways manufactured by other vendors. The JUNOS operating-system assures consistent and stable control plane feature execution.
This switch model has additional 4-port GbE and 2-port 10GbE uplink modules with pluggable optics for high-speed connection with other switches or upstream devices in the network. This means high data throughput capabilities yet low capital exposure for remote workgroup deployments. For power supply serviceability, EX3200 is field changeable and fan tray lowers MTTR.
The only real drawback to fixed configuration switches is they provide no configuration overall flexibility because the range of ports are predetermined and can’t be changed. Fixed-configuration switches, however, are stackable. You can actually interconnect multiple switches to elevate port capacity. The highest number of switches that can be piled, however, is laid out in the manufacturer.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is technology in Ethernet cabling system which allows both electrical power and information to move safely along just one cable. This enables wireless LAN and WAN access points to be positioned past the reach of power outlet. The IEEE demands the utilization of category 5 cable or better but may function with low power level with Category 3 cable. Updated PoE standard provides as much as 51 W of power.
EX3200 Ethernet switch is compliant with Internet Protocol (IP) gateway from Avaya. The Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 Switch# are among the five categories of Juniper EX series# series switches which are also interoperable with other network management platforms from AlterPoint, EMC, CA, HP, InfoVista, IBM and SolarWinds.
