Product Description
The Juniper Networks® EX2200-C Ethernet Switch with Virtual Chassis technology delivers
a compact, silent, and power efficient platform for low-density micro branch deployments
and commercial access or enterprise workgroup environments outside the wiring closet.
Featuring 12 10/100/1000BASE-T access ports with and without Power over Ethernet
Plus (PoE+) in a fanless design, the EX2200-C switches deliver a powerful solution for
supporting services such as unified communications, IP telephony, closed circuit television
(CCTV), and other applications in office, classroom, hospitality, and other space and
wiring constrained environments. Two front panel, dual-purpose (10/100/1000BASE-T or
100/1000BASE-X) uplinks provide operational flexibility.
Architecture and Key Components
The fixed configuration EX2200 line of Ethernet switches delivers complete Layer 2 and
basic Layer 3 switching capabilities to satisfy the low-density branch and low-density
wiring closet connectivity requirements of today’s high-performance businesses. The
EX2200-C models extend that reach into workgroup environments that reside outside
the wiring closet, including micro branch offices, retail access applications, education,
hospitality, and other locations where the switch is deployed in open areas.
Two models are available. The EX2200-C-12T-2G offers 12 front panel 10/100/1000BASE-T
ports for connecting to networked devices. The EX2200-C-12P-2G includes support for
the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard for powering networked devices such as telephones,
video cameras, multiple radio IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN (WLAN) access points, and video
phones in converged network environments.
Your ideas. Connected.
The EX2200-C switches also include two front panel, small form-factor pluggable
transceiver (SFP) GbE uplink ports, and two RJ-45 copper GbE uplink ports. Up to two of
the uplink ports can be used simultaneously, providing the flexibility to connect to higher
layer devices such as aggregation switches or routers over unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
or fiber optic cabling. The uplink ports can also be configured as Virtual Chassis interfaces
and connected via standard GbE optics interfaces; the last two are preconfigured by
default as Virtual Chassis ports. A fixed internal power supply ensures operational
simplicity.

Virtual Chassis Technology
The EX2200-C supports Juniper’s unique Virtual Chassis
technology, enabling up to four interconnected EX2200-C
switches to be managed as a single logical device and delivering
a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network
environments.
While EX2200-C switches can be interconnected over any of
the front-panel uplink ports, the last two ports are configured by
default as Virtual Chassis ports, automating deployments when
using standard GbE SFP transceivers (sold separately). These
two ports can also be configured as GbE uplinks to aggregation
devices by disabling the Virtual Chassis technology.
When deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration, the EX2200-C
switches elect a master and a backup switch based on a
set of preconfigured policies or criteria. The master switch
automatically creates and updates the switching and optional
routing tables on all other Virtual Chassis switch members.
Switches can be added to or removed from the Virtual Chassis
configuration without service disruption.
EX2200-C Virtual Chassis configurations operate as highly
resilient unified systems, providing simplified management using
a single IP address, single telnet session, single command-line
interface (CLI), automatic version checking, and automatic
configuration. The EX2200-C switches are also capable of local
switching, so packets coming into a port destined for another
port on the same switch do not have to traverse the Virtual
Chassis, increasing forwarding capacities.
EX2200-C Virtual Chassis configurations implement the same
slot/module/port numbering schema as other Juniper Networks
chassis-based products, providing true chassis-like operations.
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.

Features and Benefits
The EX2200-C model switches include a number of features that
make them ideal for low-density, open space deployments.
Compact Form Factor
At 10.6 inches wide and 9.4 inches deep, EX2200-C switches
can be easily and discreetly installed on desktops, on or under
shelves, or on walls. An optional magnetic mounting pad is
available for securing the EX2200-C switches to metal surfaces.
Rack mount kits are also available for installing the switches in
standard 19 inch wiring racks. Wall mounting can be done using
the flexible mounting slots on the bottom of the chassis to fix to
the screws on the wall.
Dual-Purpose Uplinks
Two front panel, dual-purpose (10/100/1000BASE-T or
100/1000BASE-X) uplinks provide operational flexibility.
Silent Operation
The air-cooled EX2200-C switches do not require internal fans,
resulting in a silent operating mode suitable for deployments
in workgroup areas. The fanless design also reduces power
consumption and improves mean time between failures (MTBF)
by eliminating moving parts that can fail.
Low Power Consumption
The lack of an internal fan reduces the power consumed by the
EX2200-C switches. The hardware has Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE)-capable ports (with software support available in a
future release), providing low power consumption when network
link is idle.
Simplified Operations
When deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration, the EX2200-C
dramatically simplifies network management. Up to four
interconnected EX2200-C switches can be managed as a
single device utilizing a single Junos OS image file and a single
configuration file, reducing the overall number of units to
monitor and manage. When the Junos OS is upgraded on the
master switch in an EX2200-C Virtual Chassis configuration,
the software is automatically upgraded on all other member
switches at the same time.
Dedicated front panel RJ-45 and USB console ports offer flexible
out-of-band management options, while a front panel USB
port can be used to easily upload the Juniper Networks Junos®
operating system and configuration files. A series of front panel
LEDs offer system status information with a button that allows
users to toggle through four different modes for reporting link
status, link activity, PoE, and speed. A fixed internal power supply
ensures operational simplicity.
Easy Provisioning
Auto-configuration and Auto-Image Install features allow the
switches to be configured and imaged over the network using the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) message exchange
process. These features eliminate the need to stage devices prior
to deployment, dramatically reducing operational expenses.
Auto-configuration and Auto Image Install allow new branches
and retail stores to rapidly deploy their networks, and also enable
software upgrades and security fixes to be performed at the
touch of a button. An EZ touchless provisioning feature allows a
DHCP server to push configuration details and software images
to multiple switches at bootup.
Access Security
The EX2200-C switches fully interoperate with Juniper Networks
Unified Access Control, which consolidates all aspects of a user’s
identity, device, and location, enabling administrators to enforce
access control and security down to the individual port or user
levels. Working as an enforcement point within the UAC, the
EX2200-C provides standards-based 802.1X port-level access
control as well as L2-L4 policy enforcement based on user
identity, location, and/or device. If access is granted, the switch
assigns the user to a specific VLAN based on authorization levels.
The EX2200-C also provides a full complement of port security
features, including DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection
(DAI), and media access control (MAC) limiting to defend against
internal and external spoofing, man-in-the-middle, and denial-
of-service (DoS) attacks.
Video and VoIP Ready
The EX2200-C delivers a reliable platform for unifying enterprise
communication by providing the highest levels of flexibility and
features in its class for the most demanding converged data,
voice, and video environments. The EX2200-C switches support
plug-and-play deployment with industry-standard Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and LLDP-Media Endpoint Discovery
(LLDP-MED). LLDP-MED-based granular PoE management
allows the EX2200-C switches to negotiate PoE usage down to
a fraction of a watt on powered devices, enabling more efficient
PoE utilization across the switch.
In addition, the EX2200-C supports rich quality-of-service (QoS)
functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video trac. The
switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every
port, enabling them to maintain multilevel, end-to-end trac
prioritizations. The EX2200-C also supports a wide range of policy
options, including strict priority, low latency, weighted random
early detection (WRED), and shaped deficit weighted round-robin
(SDWRR) queuing.
