Product Description
Featuring up to 48 wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports in a two rack unit (2U)
platform, the Juniper Networks
platform, the Juniper Networks

EX4500 Ethernet Switch delivers Layer 2 and Layer 3
connectivity to networked devices such as servers and other switches. The EX4500 base
switch provides 40 fixed 10GbE pluggable ports that can also support GbE connectors for
added flexibility. Two optional high-speed uplink modules offer four additional 10GbE small
form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP+) ports each for connecting to upstream devices.

By targeting high-density 10GbE top-of-rack and aggregation deployments in the
data center, campus, and service provider environments, EX4500 switches perfectly
complement the Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switch product family: the Juniper
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.
