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.

Console Ports | 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.
Juniper Networks EX3400 Ethernet Switches provide connectivity for low-density environments.
Benefits of the EX3400 Switch
High flexibility—EX3400 switches provide a flexible solution that supports converged data, voice, and video environments.
Support for MACsec—EX3400 switches support IEEE 802.1AE MACsec, providing support for link-layer data confidentiality, data integrity, and data origin authentication. The MACsec feature enables EX3400 to support 88 Gbps of near line-rate hardware-based traffic encryption on all Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Nondisruptive software upgrades—EX3400 switches feature a resilient operating system that supports high availability (HA) features such as graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES), nonstop active routing (NSR), and nonstop software upgrade (NSSU), providing software upgrades and changes without disrupting network traffic.
EX3400 Switches First View
EX3400 switches provide:
Either 24 or 48 RJ-45 ports (labeled 0 through 23 or 0 through 47) that support 10/100/1000BASE-T
Gigabit Ethernet connectors.
Four uplink ports (labeled 0 through 3 on the front panel) that support small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
transceivers and small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceivers, and two 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports (labeled 0 through 1 on the rear panel) that support quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceivers.
20
Virtual Chassis capability—You can connect up to 10 EX3400 switches together to form one unit that
you manage as a single chassis, called a Virtual Chassis.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) on all RJ-45 ports (in PoE-capable models).
Uplink Ports
EX3400 switches have autosensing uplink ports that you can use to:
Connect an access switch to a distribution switch
Interconnect member switches of a Virtual Chassis
The QSFP+ uplink ports are configured as Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) by default. You can use these ports to interconnect Virtual Chassis members. To use the QSFP+ uplink ports as network ports, you must configure them as network ports. The uplink ports on the front panel are configured as network ports by default. To use the uplink ports on the front panel as VCPs, you must configure them as VCPs. See Setting an Uplink Port on an EX Series or QFX Series Switch as a Virtual Chassis Port.
The uplink ports on the front panel support four 1-gigabit SFP transceivers, four 10-gigabit SFP+ transceivers, or a combination of four SFP+ and SFP transceivers. The QSFP+ uplink ports support 40-gigabit QSFP+ transceivers. For a list of supported transceivers, see “Pluggable Transceivers Supported on EX3400
Switches” on page 66.
NOTE: You cannot form a Virtual Chassis by using SFP transceivers.
Virtual Chassis
You can interconnect a maximum of 10 EX3400 switches to form a Virtual Chassis. You can operate these interconnected switches as a single, logical device with a single IP address.
You can use the following ports to interconnect an EX3400 switch in a Virtual Chassis:
QSFP+ ports configured as VCPs by using QSFP+ transceivers
NOTE: You cannot form a Virtual Chassis by using SFP transceivers.
21
Uplink ports on the front panel configured as VCPs by using SFP+ transceivers
By default, the QSFP+ ports are configured as VCPs.
Console Ports
EX3400 switches have two console ports—an RJ-45 console port and a Mini-USB Type-B console port. The RJ-45 console port is on the rear panel of the switch and the mini-USB console port is on the front panel. Both console ports are labeled CON. The RJ-45 console port accepts a cable that has 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.
Power over Ethernet Ports
EX3400 switches are available with or without Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability. Models that support PoE or PoE+ provide that support on all RJ-45 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.
NOTE: IEEE 802.3at class 4 powered devices require category 5 or higher Ethernet cables.
The remainder of this documentation uses the term PoE for both PoE and PoE+ unless there is a need to distinguish between the two.

EX3400 Switch Models

EX3400 switch models are available:
With 24 or 48 RJ-45 ports
With or without PoE+ capability
With front-to-back or back-to-front airflow
With AC or DC power supplies

Front-to-Back Airflow

In switch models with front-to-back airflow, the air intake is located on the front of the chassis. Cool air is pulled into the chassis and pushed toward the rear of the chassis. Hot air exhausts from the rear of the chassis. See Figure 11 on page 39.
Figure 11: Front-to-Back Airflow Through the EX3400 Switch Chassis
39

Back-to-Front Airflow

In switch models with back-to-front airflow, the air intake is located on the rear of the chassis. Cool air is pulled into the chassis and pushed toward the front of the chassis. Hot air exhausts from the front of the chassis. See Figure 12 on page 40.
Figure 12: Back-to-Front Airflow Through the EX3400 Switch Chassis
40
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.

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.
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 23 on page 55 provides the required environmental conditions for normal switch operation.

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 24 on page 60 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.
Table 24: Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines
Site Wiring Factor
Guidelines
60
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 25 on page 61 provides the rack requirements and specifications.
Table 25: Rack Requirements and Specifications
GuidelinesRack Requirement
61
Rack type
Mounting bracket hole spacing
Rack size and strength
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.
Rack connection to building structure
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 26 on page 62 provides the cabinet requirements and specifications.
Table 26: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications
Cabinet Requirement
Guidelines
62
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.

Quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) direct attach copper (DAC) cables are suitable for in-rack connections between QSFP+ ports on EX3400, EX4300, EX4550, EX4600, EX9251, and EX9253 switches. They are suitable for short distances, making them ideal for highly cost-effective networking connectivity within a rack and between adjacent racks.
69
NOTE: We recommend that you use only QSFP+ DAC cables 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.
Cable Specifications
QSFP+ passive DAC cables are hot-removable and hot-insertable. A cable consists of a cable assembly that connects directly into two QSFP+ modules, one at each end of the cable. The cables use integrated duplex serial data links for bidirectional communication and are designed for data rates up to 40 Gbps. Passive DAC cables have no signal amplification built into the cable assembly. See Figure 20 on page 70.

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

IN THIS SECTION
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable | 71
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable | 71
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.
71
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:
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.
72
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):
– 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 72).
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 27 on page 73 (here, the link is 2 km long and multimode, and the (PB) is 13 dBm):
73

Fiber attenuation
Multimode—1 dBm/km
Single mode—0.5 dBm/km
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
Table 27: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss (continued)
NOTE: For information about the actual amount of signal loss caused by equipment and
other factors, see your vendor documentation for that equipment.

Planning EX3400 Virtual Chassis

Before interconnecting EX3400 switches in a Virtual Chassis configuration, you must consider the following factors:
The number of switches in the Virtual Chassis and their location—You can interconnect a maximum of
10 EX3400 switches to form a Virtual Chassis composed exclusively of EX3400 switches.
Mounting—You can mount the switches in a single rack or install them on multiple racks. For information
about the size and strength of racks, see “Rack Requirements” on page 60.
Cabling requirements for Virtual Chassis—You can interconnect EX3400 switches into a Virtual Chassis
by using the uplink ports configured as Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs). By default, the QSFP+ uplink ports are configured as VCPs.
For information about uplink port cabling requirements, see “Management Cable Specifications” on
page 75.
Power requirements—You must plan the installation site to meet the power requirements of the switches
in a Virtual Chassis. See “Power Specifications for EX3400 Switches” on page 48.
87
License requirements—You must have license keys for all the devices. See Understanding Software Licenses
for EX Series Switches.

Understanding EX3400 Virtual Chassis Hardware Configuration

Virtual Chassis is a feature in Juniper Networks EX3400 Ethernet Switches that allows you to interconnect two or more EX3400 switches, enabling them to operate as a unified, single, high-bandwidth switch. You can interconnect a maximum of 10 EX3400 switches by using the uplink ports configured as Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) to form a Virtual Chassis. By default, the QSFP+ uplink ports are configured as VCPs.
All EX3400 switch models support Virtual Chassis, and you can interconnect different models, which allows you to choose among a range of possible port configurations within the same Virtual Chassis.
The Virtual Chassis configuration includes a primary switch and a backup switch, with all other switches in the configuration designated as linecard member switches. Virtual Chassis operation is managed through the primary switch. Each switch in the Virtual Chassis is assigned a unique member ID.

Virtual Chassis Cabling Configuration Examples for EX3400 Switches

g022267
You can install EX3400 switches on a single rack or in multiple racks, or in different wiring closets, and interconnect them to form a Virtual Chassis.
You form an EX3400 Virtual Chassis by using uplink ports configured as Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs). By default, the QSFP+ uplink ports are configured as VCPs.
The physical location of the switches in a Virtual Chassis is restricted only by the maximum length supported for cables to connect the VCPs—in this case, the maximum length of the uplink port cables. For the maximum cable length for the uplink port cables supported by an EX3400 switch, see “Pluggable Transceivers
Supported on EX3400 Switches” on page 66.
The following illustrations show examples of Virtual Chassis cabling configuration using SFP+ ports. The examples are applicable to configuration using QSFP+ ports also.
NOTE: For increased availability and redundancy, we recommend that you always configure
your Virtual Chassis in a ring topology.

Installing and Removing EX3400 Switch Hardware Components

The EX3400 switch chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in EX3400 switches are:
Power supplies
Fan modules
Transceivers
The power supplies and fan modules are hot-removable and hot-insertable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
