Wired Assurance offers the following features:. The addition of Marvis, a complementary Virtual Network Assistant driven by Mist AI, lets you start building a self-driving network that simplifies network operations and streamlines troubleshooting via automatic fixes for EX Series switches or recommended actions for external systems.
For more information see Juniper Mist Wired Assurance. The EX supports Juniper Networks Virtual Chassis technology, allowing up to 10 switches to be interconnected over uplink ports and managed as a single logical device, delivering a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments. When deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration, the EX switches elect a primary and backup switch based on a set of criteria or preconfigured policies.
The primary switch automatically creates and updates the switching and optional routing tables on all switches in the Virtual Chassis configuration. Virtual Chassis technology allows switches to be added or removed without service disruption.
An EX Virtual Chassis configuration operates as a highly resilient unified system, providing simplified management using a single IP address, single telnet session, single command-line interface CLI , automatic version checking, and automatic configuration. The EX switches are also capable of local switching, so that packets coming into a port destined for another port on the same switch do not have to traverse the Virtual Chassis, increasing the forwarding capacity of the switch.
By using a consistent operating system and a single configuration file, all switches in a Virtual Chassis configuration are treated as a single device, simplifying overall system maintenance and management. Juniper campus fabrics support these validated architectures with the EX switch playing the role of access switch:. It sets a new standard moving away from traditional network management towards AI-driven operations, while delivering better experiences to connected devices.
The Juniper Mist Cloud streamlines deployment and management of campus fabric architectures by allowing:. Virtual Chassis technology simplifies network management for smaller deployments. Up to 10 interconnected EX switches can be managed as a single device utilizing a single Junos OS image and a single configuration file, reducing the overall number of units to monitor and manage.
When the Junos OS is upgraded on the primary switch in an EX Virtual Chassis configuration, the software is automatically upgraded on all other member switches at the same time. 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.
These copies can be used to reboot the switch the next time it is powered up or as a backup boot option. The Junos OS software can also be preinstalled on a flash drive and used to boot the EX at any time. Another feature, called automatic software download, enables network administrators to easily upgrade the EX using the DHCP message exchange process to download and install software packages.
Users simply configure the automatic software download feature on EX 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.
The EX supports the While EX switches ship with a single power supply by default, they can support redundant W or W power supplies that provide PoE Spare power supplies can be ordered as needed. In addition, the EX supports rich quality-of-service QoS functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The switches support 12 QoS queues 8 unicast and 4 multicast on every port, enabling them to maintain multilevel, end-to-end traffic prioritization.
The EX also supports a wide range of scheduling options, such as priority and shaped-deficit weighted round-robin SDWRR scheduling. Working as an enforcement point in the Access Policy Infrastructure, the EX provides both standards-based If access is granted, the switch assigns the user to a specific VLAN based on authorization levels. The switch can also apply QoS policies or mirror user traffic to a central location for logging, monitoring, or threat detection by an intrusion prevention system IPS.
Defined by IEEE When MACsec is deployed on switch ports, all traffic is encrypted on the wire but traffic inside the switch is not.
This allows the switch to apply all network policies such as QoS, deep packet inspection, and sFlow to each packet without compromising the security of packets on the wire. Hop-by-hop encryption enables MACsec to secure communications while maintaining network intelligence. MACsec is transparent to Layer 3 and higher-layer protocols and is not limited to IP traffic—it works with any type of wired or wireless traffic carried over Ethernet links.
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 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 are maintained and operate in the same way. The EX switches provide a flexible solution for demanding converged data, voice, and video environments.
The EX line of Ethernet switches is designed to support many of the same failover capabilities and high availability HA functionality as other Juniper EX access switches with Virtual Chassis technology. When two or more EX 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 primary 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 primary 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 take on the backup Routing Engine position should the designated primary fail.
Primary, backup, and line card priority status can be assigned by the network operations team to dictate the order of ascension.

Juniper campus fabrics support these validated architectures with the EX switch playing the role of access switch in a Virtual Chassis: EVPN multihoming collapsed core or distribution : A collapsed core architecture combines the core and distribution layers into a single switch, turning the traditional three-tier hierarchal network into a two-tier network. This eliminates the need for STP across the campus network by providing multihoming capabilities from the access to the core layer.
