Managing large-scale enterprise networks can be daunting, with challenges like outdated architectures, limited scalability, and growing traffic demands. Enterprises need a solution that simplifies network layers, ensures seamless scalability, and supports advanced technologies without disrupting operations.
The Juniper EX9250 Ethernet Switch delivers exactly that. Designed for core and aggregation use cases, this switch simplifies campus and data center architectures, supports cutting-edge technologies like EVPN and VXLAN, and ensures carrier-class performance.
Key Features of the Juniper EX9250 Switch
1. Scalable and Flexible Performance
- Chassis Options:
- EX9251: A 1U fixed-configuration chassis with 8 x 10GbE ports and 4 x 40/100GbE ports.
- EX9253: A modular 3U chassis supporting up to 144 x 10GbE ports and 24 x 100GbE ports.
- Massive Throughput: Up to 4.8 Tbps switching capacity for handling high-bandwidth applications.
2. Advanced Core Capabilities
- EVPN/VXLAN Support: Decouples the overlay from the underlay network, allowing for logical L2 networks across L3 environments.
- MC-LAG and Multihoming: Eliminates the need for Spanning Tree Protocol, ensuring seamless redundancy and horizontal scaling.
3. Automation and AI-Driven Insights
- Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI): Provides advanced telemetry for real-time network monitoring and anomaly detection.
- Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET): Offers APIs for automated network provisioning and configuration.
4. Carrier-Class Reliability
- Redundant Components: Hot-swappable power supplies, fan trays, and routing engines ensure continuous operation.
- High Availability Features: Nonstop active routing (NSR), nonstop bridging (NSB), and Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES) prevent service disruptions.
5. Comprehensive Security
- MACsec Support: AES256 encryption secures point-to-point traffic across the network, protecting against threats like man-in-the-middle attacks.
