J-EX4500 Switches Hardware Overview
Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX4500 Ethernet Switches provide high performance,
scalable connectivity, and carrier-class reliability for high-density environments such as
campus-aggregation and data-center networks.
You can manage J-EX4500 switches using the same Junos interfaces that you use for
other Junos platforms—the Junos operating system (Junos OS) command-line interface
(CLI) and the J-Web graphical interface.
NOTE: You can configure and manage a standalone J-EX4500 switch with
the J-Web interface, but the J-Web interface does not support configuration
and management of a J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis.
J-EX Series Ethernet Switches run Junos OS, which provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching,
routing, and security services. The same Junos OS code base that runs on J-EX Series
switches also runs on Dell PowerConnect J-SRX Series Services Gateways.
