Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 Switch for Highly Networked Enterprise?

 

Filed under: — admin @ 1:37 am

Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 Switch# is top ranked fix-configuration switch which happens to be popular with highly networked enterprise with several distant branch locations or workstations. It offers complete Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities and reliably enhances hardware-based packet forwarding and high quality packet switching and low latency. It gives network access and PoE support IP phones, desktops, and other network devices at the network edge.

Ethernet switches are often deemed as the workhorses of the enterprise network. These switches are the endpoint link and uplink connections which a large enterprise networks need. When a business anticipates high-end performance and economy in the edge switches, it could decide on fixed configuration switches. Fixed-configuration switches are classified as stackable switches, and they provide a dramatically reduced price per port when compared with modular switching products.

A fixed-configuration switch is a high efficiency switching gadget that will fulfill redundancy requirement at the network edge. They fit as being a standalone switching dynamo in the wiring closet arrangement. For that high quality company, it is a top choice in improving switching capabilities through the access layer of your enterprise network. Such a switch probably have the same switching power of Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 switch. Its high capacity switching can deliver 136 Gbps throughput and a wire speed of 101 Mpps.

It offers four platform functions and comes with a 48 port box, with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet ports with either full or partial Power over Ethernet (PoE). The Class 3 PoE 15.4 W supports networked appliances like telephone, video cam and wireless LAN and WAN access points. Full PoE in the switch also supports high density VoIP phones.

Layer 3 switches is equipped for high-performance LAN traffic seamlessly. The advanced packet forwarding capabilities of Layer 3 switches device can match that of routers, and they can be a cost-effective replacement for routers. The only difference between a Layer 3 switch and a router are the human management interface by the network administrator through the LCD panel, whereas routers run on microprocessors.

The Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 switch is a managed platform and supports a number of attributes, enhances high availability and network access control (NAC). NAC or Unified Access Control in Juniper, allows the switch to rely on access policies than firewalls, VPN gateways made by other vendors. The JUNOS operating system assures constant and secure control plane feature execution.

This switch model has additional 4-port GbE and 2-port 10GbE uplink modules with pluggable optics for high-speed connectivity with other switches or upstream devices in the network. This equals high data throughput functionality yet low capital exposure for remote workgroup deployments. For power supply serviceability, EX3200 is field replaceable and fan tray lowers MTTR.

Truly the only pitfall with fixed configuration switches is that they provide no configuration flexibility since the range of ports are fixed and can’t be changed. Fixed-configuration switches, however, are stackable. You possibly can interconnect multiple switches to increase port potential. The largest quantity of switches that can be piled, however, is specified by the label.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is technology in Ethernet cabling system that enables both electricity and information to pass through securely along one particular cable. This lets wireless LAN and WAN access points to be positioned beyond the reach of power outlet. The IEEE demands the utilization of category 5 cable or higher but will function with low power level with Category 3 cable. Updated PoE standard provides to as much as 51 W of power.

EX3200 Ethernet switch is compliant with Internet Protocol (IP) gateway from Avaya. The Juniper EX3200 48P Layer 3 Switch# are one of the five families of Juniper EX series# series switches that can be also interoperable along with other network management platforms from AlterPoint, EMC, CA, HP, InfoVista, IBM and SolarWinds.
