• Layer 3 Switch

• Rack-mountable form factor

Here is an in-depth description of the Juniper 48-port managed Gigabit switch.

• 48 × 10/100/1000Base-T Access Ports:

This Juniper network switch for business is provided with 48 GbE access-layer ports, providing seamless compatibility and high-speed network connectivity for desktops, servers, IP phones, and other Ethernet devices. 

• Uplink Ports:

HPE 10G SFP+ uplink switch is provided with four-port SFP/SFP+ uplinks, allowing network administrators high-speed fiber optics-based connectivity for mission-critical applications.

• High-Capacity L2/L3 Network Switch:

This is an enterprise-grade switch that supports 88 Gbps (unidirectional)/176 Gbps (bidirectional) packet switching capacity, making it a suitable network switch for homes, businesses, small offices, remote locations, challenging environments, industrial use, outdoor Wi-Fi, and a perfect network switch for security cameras.

It also supports:

• 4,093 VLANs

• MAC address table up to ~16,000 entries

•  IPv4 unicast / multicast routing, IPv6 support in management & static routes, et

• Virtual Chassis Technology:

Juniper EX2300-48T is provided with Virtual Chassis Technology that allows network administrators to manage four interconnected EX2300 switches as a single logical device. They can thus enjoy simplified installation and deployment.

• Enhanced Security:

This is an enterprise network switch that acts as an enforcement point in Access Policy Infrastructure, featuring multiple advanced security safeguards. For instance, it supports standards-based 802.1X port-level access control for multiple devices per port and Layer 2-4 policy enforcement based on user identity, location, and device. 

Network administrators can deploy users’ identity, device type, machine posture check, and location to determine whether access to the network should be given or not. In this way, they can effectively prevent unauthorized access to the network.
