Junos Operating System
The EX3300 switches run the same Junos OS used by other EX 
Series Ethernet Switches, as well as Juniper routers and Juniper 
Networks SRX Series Services Gateways. By utilizing a common 
operating system, Juniper delivers a consistent implementation 
and operation of control plane features across all products. 
To maintain that consistency, Junos OS adheres to a highly 
disciplined development process that uses a single source code, 
follows a single quarterly release train, and employs a highly 
available modular architecture that prevents isolated failures from 
bringing an entire system down.
These attributes are fundamental to the core value of the 
software, enabling all Junos OS-powered products to be updated 
simultaneously with the same software release. All features are 
fully regression tested, making each new release a true superset 
of the previous version; customers can deploy the software 
with complete confidence that all existing capabilities will be 
maintained and operate in the same way.
High Availability
The EX3300 line of Ethernet switches is designed to support 
many of the same failover capabilities and high availability (HA) 
functionality as the Juniper Networks EX4200 line of Ethernet 
switches with Virtual Chassis technology.
Each EX3300 switch is capable of functioning as a Routing Engine 
when deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration. when two or 
more EX3300 switches are interconnected in a Virtual Chassis 
configuration, all member switches share a single control plane. 
Junos OS automatically initiates an election process to assign a 
master (active) and backup (hot-standby) Routing Engine. An 
integrated Layer 2 and Layer 3 graceful Routing Engine switchover 
(GRES) feature maintains uninterrupted access to applications, 
services, and IP communications in the unlikely event of a master 
Routing Engine failure. 
when more than two switches are interconnected in a Virtual 
Chassis configuration, the remaining switch elements act as line 
cards and are available to assume the backup Routing Engine 
position should the designated master fail. Master, backup and 
line card priority status can be assigned by the network operations 
team to dictate the order of ascension. This N+1 Routing Engine 
redundancy, coupled with GRES, the nonstop routing (NSR) and, 
in the future, the nonstop bridging (NSB) capabilities of Junos OS, 
ensures a smooth transfer of control plane functions following 
unexpected failures.
The EX3300 also supports the following HA features:
•  Redundant trunk group:  To avoid the complexities of Spanning 
Tree Protocol (STP) without sacrificing network resiliency, the 
EX3300 employs redundant trunk groups to provide the necessary 
port redundancy and simplify switch configuration.
•  Cross-member link aggregation:  Cross-member link aggregation 
allows redundant link aggregation connections between devices in 
a single Virtual Chassis configuration, providing an additional level 
of reliability and availability.
•  Non-Stop Bridging (NSB) and Non-stop Routing (NSR): NSB and 
NSR on the EX3300 switch ensure control plane protocols, states 
and tables are synchronized between master and backup REs to 
prevent protocol flaps or convergence issues following a Routing 
Engine failover.
•  Non-Stop Software Upgrade (NSSU):  with NSSU, all members 
of an EX3300 Virtual Chassis configuration can be upgraded with 
a single command.  Mission-critical traffic can be configured as a 
link aggregate across multiple Virtual Chassis switch members, 
ensuring minimal disruption during the upgrade process.
Simplified Management and Operations
when deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration, the EX3300 
dramatically simplifies network management.  Up to 10 
interconnected EX3300 switches can be managed as a single 
device utilizing a single Junos OS image file and a single 
configuration file, reducing the overall number of units to monitor 
and manage. when the Junos OS is upgraded on the master 
switch in an EX3300 Virtual Chassis configuration, the software 
is automatically upgraded on all other member switches at the 
same time.
The EX3300 includes port profiles that allow network 
administrators to automatically configure ports with security, QoS, 
and other parameters based on the type of device connected to 
the port. Six preconfigured profiles are available, including default, 
desktop, desktop plus IP phone, wLAN access point, routed uplink, 
and Layer 2 uplink. Users can select from the existing profiles 
or create their own and apply them through the command-line 
interface (CLI), J-web Software interface, or Junos Space network 
management system.
In addition, a feature called System Snapshot makes a copy of all 
software files used to run the switch, including the Junos operating 
system, the active configuration and the rescue configuration, that 
can be used to reboot the switch at the next power-up or as a 
backup boot option.  The Junos OS software can also be preinstalled 
on a flash drive and used to boot the EX3300 at any time.
Another feature, called automatic software download, enables 
network administrators to easily upgrade the EX3300 using 
the DHCP message exchange process to download and install 
software packages.  Users simply configure the automatic 
software download feature on EX3300 switches acting as DHCP 
clients and establish a path to the server where the software 
package file is installed.  The server then communicates the path 
to the software package file through DHCP server messages.
An EZ touchless provisioning feature allows a DHCP server to push 
configuration details and software images to multiple switches at 
bootup.
Three system management options are available for the EX3300 
line. The standard Junos OS CLI management interface offers 
the same granular capabilities and scripting parameters found in 
any router powered by the Junos operating system. The EX3300 
also includes the integrated J-web interface, an embedded web-
based device manager that allows users to configure, monitor, 
troubleshoot, and perform system maintenance on individual 
switches via a browser-based graphical interface. 
Finally, EX3300 fault, configuration and performance data can be 
exported to leading third-party management systems such as HP 
OpenView, IBM Tivoli, and Computer Associates Unicenter software, 
providing a complete, consolidated view of network operations.
Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty
The EX3300 includes an enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty 
that provides return-to-factory switch replacement for as long as the 
original purchaser owns the product. The warranty includes lifetime 
software updates, advanced shipping of spares within one business 
day, and 24x7 Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) 
support for 90 days after the purchase date. Power supplies and fan 
trays are covered for a period of five years. For complete details, please
