All About the Juniper EX4200 24P Layer 3 Switch

January 25th, 2012

Juniper EX4200 24P Layer 3 Switch# is a terrific choice for enterprise level access switching.It’s always recognized for excellent speed and consistently delivers line-rate throughput with perhaps the heaviest quantity of net traffic. Juniper EX4200 24P Layer 3 Switch reduces latency to minimum amounts, and that is especially crucial during time sensitive video or voice traffic. Capabilities is known to be either at par or over present traditional enterprise routers. The unit is really a challenge to competing enterprise level switches.

The Juniper EX4200 24P Layer 3 Switch comes with a impressive pair of capabilities to make it easier for businesses to manage a network. You can connect around 10 EX4200’s and manage them as a single unit using the JUNOS operating system. This device supports IPv4, Secure Shell, SSL, syslog, telnet and Web that could be turned on and off. IPv6 traffic routing is not yet supported (this will be addressed soon) although you can have L2 switching in an IPv6 network.

One other reason to consider the Juniper EX4200 24P Layer 3 Switch# is its powerful, proprietary command line interface called JUNOS. The items is furthermore straightforward to operate through the JUNOS CLI even if you have a minimum of knowledge of the system and anybody who is familiar with Unix or Linux configuration may find it easier to regulate. For a virtual chassis, you could possibly just upgrade the JUNOS software from the master switch and JUNOS is automatically enhanced with the member switches.

The unit uses the J-Web management app that is a device manager baked into the hardware allowing users to adjust, fix, maintain and monitor each individual switch from a browser based user interface. All fault, performance and system data from the Juniper EX4200 24P Layer 3 Switch is exportable to common third party management systems like CA Unicenter, IBM Tivoli and HP OpenView for any consolidated view of operations in the network. On the subject of security Juniper, has always advocated Network Access Control (NAC) that gives them an authentication system packaged with the Juniper EX4200 24P Layer 3 Switch. Furthermore, it contains a “storm control’ feature that limits the speed of very dangerous traffic like “bot” attacks on random destinations although attacking specific servers still is possible. The unit delivers a complete pair of port safety measures that includes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) and MAC limiting that keeps external/internal spoofing, Denial of Service (DoS) and Man in the middle assaults.

Juniper EX4200 24P Layer 3 Switch# is fully bundled with Junipers Unified Access Control (UAC) that consolidates the identity of every user and connected unit and their region. This allows an administrator to manage access and security to each port and user level. It’s also possible to make port profiles, to ensure you can modify the security, along with other characteristics of each port depending on the kind of device you want to connect, or you could choose between six preconfigured ones.
