Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 Switch# is top ranked fix-configuration switch that is desired by highly networked enterprise with numerous remote branch businesses or workstations. It provides complete Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions and reliably heightens hardware-based packet forwarding and high quality packet switching and low latency. It provides network access and PoE support IP phones, desktops, and other network devices on the network edge.
Ethernet switches tend to be thought of as the workhorses of the enterprise network. These buttons could be the endpoint connection and uplink interfaces which a large company networks absolutely need. When an institution expects high-end functionality and economy in their edge switches, it can opt for fixed configuration switches. Fixed-configuration switches are classified as stackable switches, and they present you with a much lower price per port as compared with modular switching products.
A fixed-configuration switch is a high efficiency switching unit that will fulfill redundancy requirement at the network edge. They can fit like a standalone switching dynamo in the wiring closet arrangement. For a good performance company, it is a top choice in maximizing switching characteristics from the access layer of your enterprise network. Such a switch might have the same switching power of Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 switch. Its high capacity switching can deliver 136 Gbps throughput as well as a wire speed of 101 Mpps.
It includes four platform functions and incorporates 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 will also support high density VoIP phones.
Layer 3 switches is designed 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 range of functions, enhances high availability and network access control (NAC). NAC or Unified Access Control in Juniper, permits the switch to rely on access policies than firewalls, VPN gateways manufactured by other vendors. The JUNOS operating-system assures steady 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 connectivity with other switches or upstream devices in the network. This means high data throughput functions yet low capital exposure for remote workgroup deployments. For power supply serviceability, EX3200 is field replaceable and fan tray lowers MTTR.
The only disadvantage of fixed configuration switches is they provide no configuration adaptability since the number of ports are set and can’t be changed. Fixed-configuration switches, however, are stackable. You can actually interconnect multiple switches to increase port capability. Maximum number of switches that could be stacked, however, is laid out in the label.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is technology in Ethernet cabling system that enables both electric power and data files to move easily along one particular cable. This permits wireless LAN and WAN access points to be positioned beyond the reach of power outlet. The IEEE demands the usage of category 5 cable or higher but can perform with low power level with Category 3 cable. Updated PoE standard provides approximately 51 W of power.
EX3200 Ethernet switch is compliant with Internet Protocol (IP) gateway from Avaya. The Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 Switch# are the five families of Juniper EX series# series switches that can be also interoperable along with other network management platforms from AlterPoint, EMC, CA, HP, InfoVista, IBM and SolarWinds.
