EX4500 Ethernet Switch

with Virtual Chassis Technology

Product Overview Product Description

The Juniper Networks EX4500 Featuring up to 48 wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports in a two rack unit (2U)
line of Ethernet switches delivers platform, the Juniper Networks® EX4500 Ethernet Switch delivers Layer 2 and Layer 3
a scalable, high-performance connectivity to networked devices such as servers and other switches. The EX4500 base
platform for supporting high- switch provides 40 fixed 10GbE pluggable ports that can also support GbE connectors for

Networks EX2200 line and EX3200 line designed for low-density access deployments;
the EX4200 line designed for data center and campus GbE access and aggregation
deployments; and the EX8200 line of Ethernet switches designed for data center and
campus core and aggregation environments.

Virtual Chassis Technology

The EX4500 supports Juniper Networks’ unique Virtual Chassis technology, which enables up
to 10 interconnected switches to operate as a single, logical device with a single IP address.
When deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration, the EX4500 switches are connected over
a 128 Gbps backplane using Virtual Chassis interconnect cables. EX4500 switches can also
be interconnected using a link aggregation (LAG) of up to eight SFP+ 10 GbE line-rate links,
allowing switches to reside in different locations. Interconnected switches are monitored and
managed as a single device, enabling enterprises to separate physical topology from logical
groupings of endpoints and allowing more efficient resource utilization.

In the data center, using Virtual Chassis technology at the top of rack or end of row to
aggregate servers provides flexibility in the deployment of uplinks. Rather than requiring
redundant links for each physical switch to ensure high availability, redundant links are only
needed for each Virtual Chassis group. EX4500 and EX4200 switches may be combined
within a single Virtual Chassis configuration to support environments where both GbE and
10GbE servers are present.
