The Juniper Networks® EX4100 line of Ethernet Switches offers a secure, cloud-ready portfolio of access switches ideal for enterprise branch, campus, and data center networks. The EX4100 switches combine the simplicity of the cloud, the power of Mist AI™ , and a robust hardware foundation with best-in-class security and performance to deliver a differentiated approach to access switching in the cloud, mobile, and IoT era. With Juniper® Mist™ Wired Assurance, the EX4100 line of Switches can be effortlessly onboarded, configured, and managed from the cloud. This simplifies operations, improves visibility, and ensures a much better experience for connected devices.
Key features of the EX4100 include:
- Cloud-ready, driven by Mist AI with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant
- Ethernet VPN-Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) to the access layer
- Standards-based microsegmentation using group-based policies (GBPs)
- Switch-to-switch encryption using Media Access Control Security (MACsec) AES256
- IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE++)
- Flow-based telemetry to monitor traffic flows for anomaly detection, ability to measure packet delays and report drop reasons
- Precision Timing Protocol-Transparent Clock
- 10-member Virtual Chassis support
Offering a full suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, the EX4100 enables multiple deployments, including campus, branch, and data center top-of-rack deployments. As scale requirements increase, Juniper's Virtual Chassis technology allows up to 10 EX4100 switches to be seamlessly interconnected and managed as a single device, delivering a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments.
The EX4100 family of Ethernet switches consists of the following models:
- The EX4100-48MP, which offers 16 x 100 MB/1GbE/2.5GbE and 32 x 10 MB/100MB/1GbE Power over Ethernet (PoE++) access ports, delivering up to 90 W per PoE port with an overall total 1620 W of PoE power budget (using two power supplies)
- The EX4100-24MP, which offers 8 x 100 MB/1GbE/2.5GbE/5GbE/10GbE and 16 x 10 MB/100 MB/1GbE PoE++ access ports, delivering up to 90 W per port with an overall total 1620 W of PoE power budget (using two power supplies)
- The EX4100-24T, which offers 24 x 1GbE non-PoE access ports
- The EX4100-24P, which offers 24 x 1GbE PoE+ access ports, delivering up to 30 W per port with an overall total 1440 W of PoE power budget (using two power supplies)
- The EX4100-48T, which offers 48 x 1GbE non PoE-access ports
- The EX4100-48P, which offers 48 x 1GbE PoE+ access ports, delivering up to 30 W per port with an overall total 1440 W of PoE power budget (using two power supplies)
Each EX4100 model offers 4 x 1/10GbE small form-factor pluggable plus transceiver (SFP+) fixed uplink ports. The EX4100 switches include 4 x 10GbE/25GbE SFP28 ports to support Virtual Chassis connections, which can be reconfigured for use as Ethernet ports for uplink connectivity. EX4100 switches also include high availability (HA) features such as redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and field-replaceable fans to ensure maximum uptime. In addition, -24 port and -48 port Multi-Gigabit Ethernet EX4100 switch models offer standards-based 802.3af/at/bt (PoE/PoE+/PoE ++) for delivering up to 90 watts on any access port. The EX4100 switches can be configured to deliver fast PoE capability, which enables the switches to deliver PoE power to connected PoE devices within a few seconds of power being applied to the switches.
