Product Description 
Featuring up to 48 wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports in a two rack unit (2U) 
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.
Product Overview
The Juniper Networks EX4500 line 
of Ethernet switches delivers a 
scalable, high-performance platform 
for supporting high-density 1 gigabit 
per second (Gpbs) and 10 Gbps data 
center top-of-rack as well as data 
center, campus, and service provider 
aggregation deployments.
