Using the Examples in This Manual
If you want to use the examples in this manual, you can use the load merge or the load merge relative
command. These commands cause the software to merge the incoming configuration into the current
candidate configuration. The example does not become active until you commit the candidate configuration.
If the example configuration contains the top level of the hierarchy (or multiple hierarchies), the example
is a full example. In this case, use the load merge command.
If the example configuration does not start at the top level of the hierarchy, the example is a snippet. In
this case, use the load merge relative command. These procedures are described in the following sections.
Merging a Full Example
To merge a full example, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration example into a text file, save the
file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following configuration to a file and name the file ex-script.conf. Copy the
ex-script.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
system {
scripts {
commit {
file ex-script.xsl;
}
}
}
interfaces {
fxp0 {
disable;
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
}
}
xii
2. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge
configuration mode command:
[edit]
user@host# load merge /var/tmp/ex-script.conf
load complete
Merging a Snippet
To merge a snippet, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration snippet into a text file, save the
file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following snippet to a file and name the file ex-script-snippet.conf. Copy the
ex-script-snippet.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
commit {
file ex-script-snippet.xsl; }
2. Move to the hierarchy level that is relevant for this snippet by issuing the following configuration mode
command:
[edit]
user@host# edit system scripts
[edit system scripts]
xiii
3. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge
relative configuration mode command:
[edit system scripts]
user@host# load merge relative /var/tmp/ex-script-snippet.conf
load complete
For more information about the load command, see CLI Explorer.

Benefits of the EX4200 Switch | 19
EX4200 Switches | 20
Uplink Modules | 21
Power over Ethernet Ports | 21
Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches provide scalable connectivity for the enterprise market,
including branch offices, campus locations, and data centers. The switches run the Juniper Networks Junos
operating system (Junos OS), which provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services.
The same Junos OS code base that runs on EX Series switches also runs on all Juniper Networks M Series,
MX Series, and T Series routers and SRX Series devices.
Benefits of the EX4200 Switch
Compact solution—The EX4200 switch is a modular single rack unit device that is an apt solution for
crowded wiring closets and access switch locations such as data center, campus, and branch office
environments. It provides carrier-class reliability of modular systems with the economics and flexibility of
stackable platforms.
Support for Virtual Chassis—EX4200 switches support Virtual Chassis technology. You can interconnect
up to 10 EX4200 switches to form a Virtual Chassis and manage and operate them as a single network
entity.
EX4200 Switches
Juniper Networks EX4200 Ethernet Switches provide connectivity for medium- and high-density
environments and scalability for growing networks. These switches can be deployed wherever you need
high density of Gigabit Ethernet ports (24 to 480 ports) or redundancy. Typically, EX4200 switches are
used in large branch offices, campus wiring closets, and data centers where they can be positioned as the
top device in a rack to provide connectivity for all the devices in the rack.
You can connect individual EX4200 switches together to form one unit and manage the unit as a single
chassis, called a Virtual Chassis. You can add more member switches to the Virtual Chassis as needed, up
to a total of 10 members.
EX4200 switches are available in models with 24 or 48 ports with either all ports equipped for Power over
Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) or only 8 ports equipped for PoE. All models provide ports that have
10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet connectors and optional 1-gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
transceivers, 10-gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceivers, or 10-gigabit small form-factor
pluggable (XFP) transceivers for use with fiber connections.
20
Additionally, a 24-port model provides 100Base-FX/1000Base-X SFP ports. This model is typically used
as a small distribution switch.
All EX4200 switches have dedicated 64-Gbps Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) that enable you to connect the
switches to each other. You can also use optional uplink module ports to connect members of a Virtual
Chassis across multiple wiring closets.
To provide carrier-class reliability, EX4200 switches include:
Dual redundant power supplies that are field-replaceable and hot-swappable. An optional additional
•
connection to an external power source is also available.
A field-replaceable fan tray with three fans. The switch remains operational if a single fan fails.
•
Redundant Routing Engines in a Virtual Chassis configuration. This redundancy enables graceful Routing
•
Engine switchover (GRES) and nonstop active routing (NSR).
Junos OS with its modular design that enables failed system processes to gracefully restart.
•
EX4200 switches have these features:
Run under Junos OS for EX Series switches
•
Have options of 24-port and 48-port models
•
Have options of full (all ports) PoE/PoE+ capability or partial (8 ports) PoE capability
•
Have optional uplink modules that provide connection to distribution switches
•
Uplink Modules
Optional uplink modules are available for all EX4200 switches. Uplink modules provide two ports for
installing 10-gigabit small form-factor pluggable (XFP) transceivers, four ports for installing 1-gigabit small
form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, two ports for installing 10-gigabit small form-factor pluggable
(SFP+) transceivers. You can use XFP, SFP, or SFP+ ports to connect an access switch to a distribution
switch or to interconnect member switches of a Virtual Chassis across multiple wiring closets.
EX4200 switches also support an SFP+ Media Access Control Security (MACsec) uplink module starting
in Junos OS Release 13.2X50-D10. The SFP+ MACsec module provides four MACsec-capable ports and
can be configured to support up to four 1-gigabit SFP transceivers or up to two 10-gigabit small form-factor
pluggable (SFP+) transceivers.
21
Power over Ethernet Ports
PoE ports provide electrical current to devices through the network cables so that separate power cords
for devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras are unnecessary.
PoE was first defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard. Starting with Junos OS Release 11.1, EX4200 switches
support enhanced PoE, a Juniper Networks extension to the IEEE 302.3af PoE standard that increases the
amount of power per PoE port. A later standard, IEEE 802.3at, defined PoE+. An IEEE 802.3af powered
device operates normally when connected to an IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) power sourcing equipment.
EX4200 switches with an AC power supply installed have options of full (all 24 or 48 ports) PoE/PoE+
capability or partial (8 ports) PoE capability. EX4200 switches with a DC power supply installed do not
provide PoE. For more information, see “EX4200 Switch Models” on page 21.
Full PoE/PoE+ models are primarily used in IP telephony environments. Partial PoE models are used in
environments where, for example, only a few ports for wireless access points or security cameras are
required.
EX4200 Switch Models
The EX4200 switch is available with 24 or 48 ports and with partial or full Power over Ethernet (PoE)
capability. EX4200 switches with a DC power supply installed do not provide PoE.
NOTE: This topic uses the term PoE to refer to both PoE and PoE+ unless there is a need to
distinguish between the two.
Table 3 on page 22 lists the EX4200 switch models.

Field-Replaceable Units in EX4200 Switches
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are components that you can replace at your site. The FRUs in the switch
are:
Power supply
•
Fan tray
•
Uplink module
•
Transceivers
•
NOTE: Uplink modules are not part of the standard package and must be ordered separately.
The fan tray, uplink module, and transceivers are hot-removable and hot-insertable: You can remove and
replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
NOTE: If you have a Juniper J-Care service contract, register any addition, change, or upgrade
of hardware components at
https://www.juniper.net/customers/support/tools/updateinstallbase/ . Failure to do so can
result in significant delays if you need replacement parts. This note does not apply if you replace
existing components with the same type of component.
