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;
}
}
} }
xi
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]
xii
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.

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 Services Gateways.
Juniper Networks EX2200 Ethernet Switches provide connectivity for low-density environments.
Benefits of the EX2200 Switch
Support for Virtual Chassis—EX2200 switches support Virtual Chassis technology. You can interconnect up to four EX2200 switches to form a Virtual Chassis and manage and operate them as a single network entity.
High flexibility—EX2200 switches provide a flexible solution that supports converged data, voice, and video environments. EX2200 switches provide 15.4 watts of Class 3 PoE to VoIP telephones, closed-circuit security cameras, wireless access points, and other IP-enabled devices.
Economical—EX2200 switches offer an economical, entry-level, stand-alone solution for access layer deployments in branch and remote offices, as well as campus networks.
EX2200 Switches First View
EX2200 switches are available in models with 12 , 24, or 48 built-in network ports. The compact, fanless model, EX2200-C switches have 12 network ports.
19
EX2200 switches provide:
Up to four uplink ports
12 (compact, fanless model), 24, or 48 built-in network ports with 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet
connectors
Virtual Chassis capability—Starting with Junos OS Release 12.2, you can connect up to four EX2200
switches (including EX2200-C switches) together to form one unit that you manage as a single chassis, called a Virtual Chassis. For information about understanding and configuring Virtual Chassis, see Virtual Chassis User Guide for EX2200, EX3300, EX4200, EX4500 and EX4550 Switches.
Power over Ethernet (PoE or PoE+) on all network ports (in PoE-capable models)
Uplink Ports
Each EX2200 switch except the EX2200-C switch model has four uplink ports that support 1-gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers for use with fiber connections and copper connections.
Each EX2200-C switch has two dual-purpose uplink ports. Each dual uplink port consists of an RJ-45 port (in which you can connect a copper Ethernet cable) and an SFP port (into which you can plug a transceiver). Only one of the ports can be active at a time. By default, if you connect a copper Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port, this port becomes the active port provided that there is no connection made on the other port. If you plug a transceiver into the SFP port, this port becomes the active port whether or not a copper Ethernet cable is connected to the other port. You can change this default behavior by explicitly configuring a media type—copper or fiber—for the dual-purpose port by using the media-type command. For more information, see Configuring the Media Type on Dual-Purpose Uplink Ports .
You can use an SFP uplink port connection between EX2200 switches to interconnect the switches into an EX2200 Virtual Chassis. For this, you must explicitly configure an SFP port each on the switches to be connected as a VCP. See Setting an Uplink Port on an EX Series or QFX Series Switch as a Virtual Chassis Port.
For information about the supported optical and copper interfaces, see “Pluggable Transceivers Supported
on EX2200 Switches” on page 55.
Console Port
Each EX2200 switch except the EX2200-C switch model has an RJ-45 console port that accepts a cable with RJ-45 connector.
The EX2200-C switch has two console ports: an RJ-45 port and a Mini-USB Type-B port. The RJ-45 console port accepts a cable with an RJ-45 connector and the Mini-USB Type-B console port accepts a Mini-B plug (5-pin) connector to connect to the console management device. The switch activates only one console port at a time, either the RJ-45 console port or the Mini USB type-B console port. By default, the RJ-45 port is the active console port and the Mini-USB Type-B port is the passive console port. You can change the default setting of a console port by using the port-type command. See Configuring the Console Port Type (CLI Procedure).
20
Cable Guard
On an EX2200-C switch model, you can install a cable guard to secure the cables connected to the switch. The cable guard has slots in the front of it through which you can pass all the cables to prevent them from being accidently unplugged or removed after they are connected. See “Mounting an EX2200 Switch on a
Desk or Other Level Surface” on page 76.
Security Slots
Each EX2200-C switch model has security slots on the left and right panels of the chassis. Use the security slots to lock and secure the chassis in the installation site with a standard cable lock . See “Mounting an
EX2200 Switch on a Desk or Other Level Surface” on page 76.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ports
EX2200 switches are available in models with or without PoE/PoE+ capability. Models that support PoE/PoE+ provide that support on all network ports. PoE ports provide electrical current to devices—such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras—through network cables, thus eliminating the need for separate power cords for those devices.
EX2200 switches with DC power supply do not provide PoE.
NOTE: Starting with Junos OS Release 12.2R1, PoE commands are enabled on all
non-PoE-capable EX2200 switch models. The PoE commands do not provide any meaningful information on standalone non-PoE-capable switch models. However, in an EX2200 Virtual Chassis, you can execute PoE commands from a non-PoE-capable switch that is the primary, to configure PoE on PoE-capable Virtual Chassis members.
PoE-capable EX2200 switches running Junos OS Release 10.3 or later support powered devices that comply with IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+).
NOTE: IEEE 802.3at class 4 powered devices require category 5 or higher Ethernet cables.
EX2200 switches running Junos OS Release 10.2 or earlier support powered devices that comply with IEEE 802.3af (PoE).
21
The remainder of this topic uses the term PoE to refer to both PoE and PoE+ unless there is a need to distinguish between the two.
Front Panel of an EX2200 Switch
The front panel of an EX2200 switch except the EX2200-C switch models consists of the following components:

Airflow Direction in Non-PoE Models of EX2200 Switches, Except for the EX2200-C Models | 35
Airflow Direction in PoE Models of EX2200 switches, Except for the EX2200-C Models | 36
The cooling system in EX2200 switches, except EX2200-C, the compact, fanless models, consists of two fans along the rear of the chassis that provide side-to-rear chassis cooling. In the PoE models of these switches, there is an additional fan in the power supply.
In the EX2200-C switch the cooling is done by the vents on top and sides of the chassis in non-PoE models and by heatsinks in PoE+ models. Do not block the vents on the chassis. Doing this can lead to overheating of the switch chassis

Airflow Direction in Non-PoE Models of EX2200 Switches, Except for the EX2200-C Models

Figure 14 on page 35 shows the airflow in non-PoE models of EX2200 switches, except for the EX2200-C
models.

Figure 15: Airflow Through PoE Models of EX2200 Switches Except the EX2200-C Switch Models
36
Under normal operating conditions, the fans operate at a moderate speed to reduce noise. Temperature sensors in the chassis monitor the temperature within the chassis. If any fan fails or if the temperature inside the chassis rises above the threshold, the switch raises an alarm and all functioning fans operate at a higher speed than normal. If the temperature inside the chassis rises above the threshold, the switch shuts down automatically.

NOTE: EX2200 switches with DC power supply do not provide PoE.
NOTE: For DC power supplies, we recommend that you provide at least 3.5 A at 48 VDC and
use a facility circuit breaker rated for 10 A minimum. Doing so enables you to operate the switch in any configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure, and allows the switch to function at full capacity using multiple power supplies.

AC Power Cord Specifications for EX2200 Switches

A detachable AC power cord is supplied with the AC power supplies. The coupler is type C13 as described by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug at the male end of the power cord fits into the power source outlet that is standard for your geographical location.
CAUTION: The AC power cord provided with each power supply is intended for use
with that power supply only and not for any other use.
39
NOTE: In North America, AC power cords must not exceed 4.5 meters in length, to comply with
National Electrical Code (NEC) Sections 400-8 (NFPA 75, 5-2.2) and 210-52 and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 4-010(3). The cords supplied with the switch are in compliance.

Environmental Requirements and Specifications for EX Series Switches

The switch must be installed in a rack or cabinet housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.
Ensure that these environmental guidelines are followed:
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing the
efficiency of the switch cooling system.
44
Maintain ambient airflow for normal switch operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, the switch might overheat, leading to the switch temperature monitor shutting down the switch to protect the hardware components.
Table 16 on page 44 provides the required environmental conditions for normal switch operation.

and equipment closets, in accordance with Articles 110– 16, 110– 17, and 110– 18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

General Site Guidelines

Efficient device operation requires proper site planning and maintenance and proper layout of the equipment, rack or cabinet (if used), and wiring closet.
To plan and create an acceptable operating environment for your device and prevent environmentally caused equipment failures:
Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conductive material, such as metal flakes.
Follow prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions properly and that
exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the device.
Follow the prescribed electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention procedures to prevent damaging the
equipment. Static discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.
Install the device in a secure area, so that only authorized personnel can access the device.

Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines

Table 17 on page 50 describes the factors you must consider while planning the electrical wiring at your
site.
WARNING: You must provide a properly grounded and shielded environment and use
electrical surge-suppression devices.
Avertissement Vous devez établir un environnement protégé et convenablement mis à la terre et utiliser des dispositifs de parasurtension.

Signaling limitations
Radio frequency interference
Electromagnetic compatibility
If your site experiences any of the following problems, consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding:
Improperly installed wires cause radio frequency interference (RFI).
Damage from lightning strikes occurs when wires exceed recommended distances or pass between
buildings.
Electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) caused by lightning damage unshielded conductors and electronic
devices.
To reduce or eliminate RFI from your site wiring, do the following:
Use a twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding conductors.
If you must exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one
ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.
If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), particularly from lightning or radio transmitters, seek expert advice.
Some of the problems caused by strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) are:
Destruction of the signal drivers and receivers in the device
Electrical hazards as a result of power surges conducted over the lines into the equipment

Rack Requirements

You can mount the device on two-post racks or four-post racks.
Rack requirements consist of:
Rack type
Mounting bracket hole spacing
Rack size and strength
Rack connection to the building structure
Table 18 on page 51 provides the rack requirements and specifications.

Rack type
Mounting bracket hole spacing
Rack size and strength
Rack connection to building structure
You can mount the device on a rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1-U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments and meets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.
A U is the standard rack unit defined by the Electronic Components Industry Association (http://www.ecianow.org).
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1-U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm), so that the device can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
Ensure that the rack complies with the size and strength standards of a 19-in. rack as defined
by the Electronic Components Industry Association (http://www.ecianow.org).
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the external dimensions
of the device chassis. The outer edges of the front mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm).
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the device.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks provides for proper clearance around the
device and rack.
Secure the rack to the building structure.
If your geographical area is earthquake-prone, secure the rack to the floor.
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum stability.

Cabinet Requirements

You can mount the device in a cabinet that contains a 19-in. rack.
Cabinet requirements consist of:
Cabinet size
Clearance requirements
Cabinet airflow requirements
Table 19 on page 52 provides the cabinet requirements and specifications.
Table 19: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications
GuidelinesCabinet Requirement
52
Cabinet size
Cabinet clearance
Cabinet airflow requirements
The minimum cabinet size is 36 in. (91.4 cm) depth. Large cabinets improve airflow
and reduce chances of overheating.
The outer edges of the front mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to
19 in. (48.2 cm).
The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is 30.7 in. (78 cm) between the inside
of the front door and the inside of the rear door.
When you mount the device in a cabinet, ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating.
Ensure adequate cool air supply to dissipate the thermal output of the device or
devices.
Ensure that the hot air exhaust of the chassis exits the cabinet without recirculating
into the device. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top ensures the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust.
Install the device in the cabinet in a way that maximizes the open space on the side
of the chassis that has the hot air exhaust.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from the chassis.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets is such that there is proper
clearance around the device and cabinet.
A cabinet larger than the minimum required provides better airflow and reduces the
chance of overheating.

Pluggable Transceivers Supported on EX2200 Switches

Uplink ports and dual-purpose uplink ports on the front panel in EX2200 switches support SFP transceivers. You can find the list of transceivers supported on EX2200 switches and information about those transceivers at the Hardware Compatibility Tool page for EX2200.
NOTE: We recommend that you use only optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased
from Juniper Networks with your Juniper Networks device.
CAUTION: If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses a
third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer might recommend that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially replace it with an equivalent Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified for the device.
NOTE: EX2200-C switches ensure normal operation in the temperature range 30° F (0° C)
through 104° F (40° C) at altitudes up to 5,000 ft (1,524 m). In the following conditions, use extended temperature range SFP transceivers when fiber uplinks are used:
In the temperature range 104° F (40° C) through 113° F (45° C) at altitudes up to 5,000 ft
(1,524 m)
In the temperature range 95° F (35° C) through 113° F (45° C) at altitudes above 5,000 ft
(1,524 m) up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m)

Understanding EX Series Switches Fiber-Optic Cable Signal Loss, Attenuation, and Dispersion

56
IN THIS SECTION
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable | 56
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable | 57
To determine the power budget and power margin needed for fiber-optic connections, you need to understand how signal loss, attenuation, and dispersion affect transmission. EX Series switches use various types of network cable, including multimode and single-mode fiber-optic cable.
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable
Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the walls of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs as light sources. However, LEDs are not coherent light sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which reflects the light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing signal dispersion. When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding (layers of lower refractive index material in close contact with a core material of higher refractive index), higher-order mode loss (HOL) occurs. Together, these factors reduce the transmission distance of multimode fiber compared to that of single-mode fiber.
Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light reflect internally through one layer only. Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate a single wavelength of light, which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber. Compared to multimode fiber, single-mode fiber has a higher bandwidth and can carry signals for longer distances. It is consequently more expensive.
Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant signal loss, which causes unreliable transmission.
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable
An optical data link functions correctly provided that modulated light reaching the receiver has enough power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in strength of the light signal during transmission. Passive media components such as cables, cable splices, and connectors cause attenuation. Although attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media, it still occurs in both multimode and single-mode transmission. An efficient optical data link must transmit enough light to overcome attenuation.
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion can affect signal transmission through an optical data link:
57
Chromatic dispersion, which is the spreading of the signal over time caused by the different speeds of
light rays.
Modal dispersion, which is the spreading of the signal over time caused by the different propagation
modes in the fiber.
For multimode transmission, modal dispersion, rather than chromatic dispersion or attenuation, usually limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode transmission, modal dispersion is not a factor. However, at higher bit rates and over longer distances, chromatic dispersion limits the maximum link length.
An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that the receiver requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion must be within the limits specified for the type of link in Telcordia Technologies document GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and International Telecommunications Union (ITU) document G.957.
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as a power penalty in the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum of component attenuation, power penalties (including those from dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses.

Calculating the Fiber-Optic Cable Power Budget for EX Series Devices

To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, calculate the link's power budget when planning fiber-optic cable layout and distances to ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation. The power budget is the maximum amount of power the link
can transmit. When you calculate the power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts of an actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels.
To calculate the worst-case estimate for fiber-optic cable power budget (PB) for the link:
1. Determine values for the link's minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR). For example, here, (PT) and (PR) are measured in decibels, and decibels are referred to one milliwatt (dBm).
PT= – 15 dBm
PR= – 28 dBm
NOTE: See the specifications for your transmitter and receiver to find the minimum transmitter
power and minimum receiver sensitivity.
2. Calculate the power budget (PB) by subtracting (PR) from (PT):
58
– 15 dBm – (–28 dBm) = 13 dBm

Calculating the Fiber-Optic Cable Power Margin for EX Series Devices

Calculate the link's power margin when planning fiber-optic cable layout and distances to ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient signal power to overcome system losses and still satisfy the minimum input requirements of the receiver for the required performance level. The power margin (PM) is the amount
of power available after attenuation or link loss (LL) has been subtracted from the power budget (PB).
When you calculate the power margin, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts of an actual system do not operate at worst-case levels. A power margin (PM) greater
than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient to operate the receiver and that it does not exceed the maximum receiver input power. This means the link will work. A (PM) that is zero or negative indicates
insufficient power to operate the receiver. See the specification for your receiver to find the maximum receiver input power.
Before calculating the power margin:
Calculate the power budget (see “Calculating the Fiber-Optic Cable Power Budget for EX Series Devices”
on page 57).
To calculate the worst-case estimate for the power margin (PM) for the link:
1. Determine the maximum value for link loss (LL) by adding estimated values for applicable link-loss factors—for example, use the sample values for various factors as provided in Table 20 on page 59 (here, the link is 2 km long and multimode, and the (PB) is 13 dBm):
Table 20: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss

This example assumes 5 connectors. Loss for 5 connectors:
(5) * (0.5 dBm) = 2.5 dBm
This example assumes 2 splices. Loss for two splices:
(2) * (0.5 dBm) = 1 dBm
This example assumes the link is 2 km long. Fiber attenuation for 2 km:
(2 km) * (1.0 dBm/km) = 2 dBm
(2 km) * (0.5 dBm/km) = 1 dBm
NOTE: For information about the actual amount of signal loss caused by equipment and
other factors, see your vendor documentation for that equipment.
2. Calculate the (PM) by subtracting (LL) from (PB):
PB– LL = P

(13 dBm) – (0.5 dBm [HOL]) – ((5) * (0.5 dBm)) – ((2) * (0.5 dBm)) – ((2 km) * (1.0 dBm/km)) – (1 dB [CRM]) = P
13 dBm – 0.5 dBm – 2.5 dBm – 1 dBm – 2 dBm – 1 dBm = P

The calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient power for transmission. Also, the power margin value does not exceed the maximum receiver input power. Refer to the specification for your receiver to find the maximum receiver input power.

Special Instructions to Follow Before Connecting Earth Ground to an EX Series Switch | 104
Connecting Earth Ground to an EX Series Switch | 105
To ensure proper operation and to meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements, you must connect an EX Series switch to earth ground before you connect power to the switch. You must use the protective earthing terminal on the switch chassis to connect the switch to earth ground (see
Figure 45 on page 106).
You must install the EX Series switch in a restricted–access location and ensure that the chassis is always properly grounded. EX Series switches have a two–hole protective grounding terminal provided on the chassis. See Table 32 on page 100 for the location of the earthing terminals on various EX Series switches. We recommend that you use the protective grounding terminal as the preferred method for grounding the chassis regardless of the power supply configuration. However, if additional grounding methods are available, you can also use those methods. For example, you can use the grounding wire in the power cord of an AC power supply or use the grounding terminal or lug on a DC power supply. This system was tested to meet or exceed all applicable EMC regulatory requirements with the two-hole protective grounding terminal connected correctly.
Ensure that a licensed electrician has attached an appropriate grounding lug to the grounding cable you supply. Using a grounding cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch.
Parts and Tools Required for Connecting an EX Series Switch to Earth Ground
Before you begin connecting an EX Series switch to earth ground, ensure you have the parts and tools required for your switch.
Table 32 on page 100 lists the earthing terminal location, grounding cable and lug specifications, and parts
needed for connecting an EX Series switch to earth ground.
