Each EX4300 switch includes an integrated application-specific 
integrated circuit (ASIC)-based Packet Forwarding Engine, the EX-
PFE, while an integrated Routing Engine (RE) delivers all control 
plane functionality. The EX4300 also leverages the same modular 
Junos OS as other Juniper Networks switches, routers, and security 
devices, ensuring a consistent implementation and operation of 
control plane features across the Juniper Networks infrastructure.
Architecture and Key Components
The EX4300 switches are single rack unit devices that deliver 
a compact solution for crowded wiring closets and access 
switch locations where space and power are at a premium. Each 
EX4300 supports four standard 40GbE QSFP+ ports which can 
support high-speed Virtual Chassis backplane connections or 
serve as uplinks to upstream aggregation devices (note that the 
40GbE ports cannot be split into 4x10GbE ports). In addition, 
each EX4300 supports an optional front panel uplink module 
offering four 1GbE or 10GbE ports for high-speed backbone or link 
aggregation connections between wiring closets and upstream 
aggregation switches, providing up to 40GbE of aggregate 
bandwidth. Uplink modules can be installed without powering 
down the switch, enabling users to add high-speed connectivity 
at any time or migrate from one uplink type to the other, delivering 
the ultimate in flexible, high-performance interconnectivity. 
The EX4300 also features a front panel LCD that offers a flexible 
interface for performing device bring-up and configuration 
rollbacks, reporting switch alarm and LED status, or restoring the 
switch to its default settings. when deployed as a member of a 
Virtual Chassis configuration, the LCD also displays the switch’s 
chassis “slot number” and RE status for rapid identification and 
problem resolution. 
The four preconfigured rear panel 40GbE QSFP+ ports support 
EX4300 Virtual Chassis deployment over a 320 Gbps virtual 
backplane. when deployed in close proximity such as in wiring 
closets or in top-of-rack data center applications, the EX4300 
switches can be securely connected using standard 40GbE QSFP+ 
DAC cables (available in 50 cm, 1 m, and 3 m lengths). Switches 
deployed in Virtual Chassis configurations spread over larger areas 
can be interconnected using optical QSFP+ transceivers such as 
the QSFP+ SR4, which supports distances up to 150 m.
A dedicated rear panel RJ-45 port is available for out-of-band 
management, while a rear panel USB port can be used to easily 
upload Junos OS and configuration files. In addition, a dedicated 
front panel USB console port and a rear panel RJ-45 console port 
offer flexible out-of-band console options.
Virtual Chassis Technology
Up to 10 EX4300 switches can be interconnected using Virtual 
Chassis technology, creating a single logical device supporting up 
to 480 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, plus an additional 40 10GbE 
or 40GbE uplink ports. EX4300 Virtual Chassis configurations 
can be created to support a variety of port and density options for 
data center, campus, and branch deployments. Virtual Chassis 
connections can be formed using any of the 40GbE ports or 10GbE 
ports using standard DAC cables and optics. The EX4300 does not 
support  Virtual Chassis technology on the GbE copper or fiber ports.
Virtual Chassis Deployments in Campus Wiring Closets
In campus wiring closets, flexible topologies can be created using 
standard QSFP+ optics on the 40GbE ports to extend the Virtual 
Chassis configuration across long distances spanning multiple 
wiring closets, floors, or even buildings while using 10GbE or 
40GbE for uplink connectivity.
Virtual Chassis Deployments in the Data Center
when deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration in the data 
center, all EX4300 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. Highly resilient topologies can also be created 
using the 40GbE DAC cables.

create a single logical device spanning multiple wiring closets, floors, or even buildings.
