EX3300 Switches Hardware Overview
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 EX3300 Ethernet Switches provide connectivity for low-density
environments.

EX3300 Switches First View
EX3300 switches provide:
•
Either 24 or 48 built-in network ports with 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet
connectors (ports labeled 0 through 23 or 0 through 47)
•
Four uplink ports (ports labeled 0 through 3)
•
Virtual Chassis capability—You can connect up to ten EX3300 switches together to
form one unit that you manage as a single chassis, called a Virtual Chassis.
•
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) on all network ports (in PoE+-capable models only)
Each EX3300 switch has four autosensing uplink ports. You can use the uplink ports on
the switch to:
•
Connect an access switch to a distribution switch
•
Interconnect member switches of a Virtual Chassis
The uplink ports labeled 0 and 1 (interfaces ge-0/1/0 and ge-0/1/1 or xe-0/1/0 and
xe-0/1/1) are configured by default as network ports. To use uplink ports 0 and 1 to
interconnectVirtual Chassis members, you must configure them as Virtual Chassis ports
(VCPs).
The uplink ports labeled 2 and 3 (interfaces ge-0/1/2 and ge-0/1/3 or xe-0/1/2 and
xe-0/1/3) are configured by default as VCPs. You can use these uplink ports to
interconnect Virtual Chassis members. To use uplink ports 2 and 3 as network ports, you
must configure them as network ports.
The uplink ports support SFP and SFP+ transceivers. For a list of supported transceivers,
see “Pluggable Transceivers Supported on EX3300 Switches” on page 71.
Power over Ethernet Plus Ports
EX3300 switches are available in models with or without PoE+ capability. Models that
support 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.

Under normal operating conditions, the fans operate at moderate speeds for minimal
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.

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.
•
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 32 on page 53 provides the required environmental conditions for normal switch

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.
•
Followprescribed airflowguidelines toensure that the cooling systemfunctions 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

You can mount the device on a rack that providesbracket 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 Electronics Industry Association.
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 Electronics Industry Association.
•
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 earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.

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.

Calculating the EX Series Switch Fiber-Optic Cable Power Budget
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
powerbudget is themaximum amount of powerthe link cantransmit. When youcalculate
the powerbudget, youuse a worst-caseanalysis 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:
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 (P
) by subtracting (PR) from (PT):

Calculating the EX Series Switch Fiber-Optic Cable Power Margin
) and minimum receiver
T
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 powermargin, 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 powermargin (PM) greater than zero indicatesthat the powerbudget 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.
Calculate the power budget. See “Calculating the EX Series Switch Fiber-Optic Cable
Power Budget” on page 67.
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 40 on page 69 (here, the link is 2 km long and multimode, and
the (PB) is 13 dBm):
Table 40: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss
The calculatedpower 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.
