ADVANCED FEATURES:

Juniper EX4600-40F combines performance, resiliency, and intelligent automation to meet the evolving needs of enterprise and data centre networks. Its advanced capabilities are designed to deliver flexibility, scalability, and secure operations.

Virtual Chassis and Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF):

Up to 10 EX4600 switches can be interconnected and managed as a single logical device, simplifying network operations while reducing management overhead. With VCF support, the EX4600 integrates seamlessly into modern spine–leaf architectures, delivering high resiliency and streamlined scalability in large enterprise or cloud data centres.

EVPN-VXLAN for Seamless Fabric Extension:

The EX4600 supports Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and VXLAN technologies, enabling efficient Layer 2/Layer 3 overlay networks. This extends services across geographically distributed locations, improves multi-tenancy support, and allows smooth integration of campus and data centre environments.

Line-Rate MACsec Security:

Built-in support for IEEE 802.1AE MACsec AES-256 encryption secures data in transit without impacting performance. This ensures line-rate protection for sensitive applications across access ports and uplinks, making the EX4600 ideal for environments where data privacy and regulatory compliance are critical.

Automation and Cloud-Driven Management:

Powered by Junos OS, the EX4600 offers advanced programmability and automation features. It supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), NETCONF, REST APIs, and Python scripting for efficient, error-free configuration and management. Integration with the Juniper Mist Cloud adds AI-driven analytics, proactive monitoring, and simplified operations across distributed campuses and data centres.

High Availability and Carrier-Class Resiliency:

Redundant, hot-swappable AC/DC power supplies and fan trays ensure uninterrupted service. Flexible airflow options (front-to-back and back-to-front) adapt to diverse cooling requirements, while nonstop bridging and routing enhance service continuity.

Optimised for Demanding Applications:

Featuring a high switching capacity (1.44 Tbps) and forwarding rate of 1,080 Mpps, combined with ultra-low latency (~550 ns), the EX4600 is optimised for storage, cloud, and real-time workloads. Deep buffering further enhances application performance, ensuring smooth handling of bursty traffic.

Future-Ready Network Services:

With advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, MC-LAG, scalable routing tables, and robust QoS capabilities, the EX4600 delivers the agility and reliability required for next-generation enterprise networks and hybrid cloud environments.
