EX8200 Line of Ethernet Switches
The EX8200 line of modular Ethernet switches delivers a high-performance, highly
available platform for today’s high-density 10 GbE data center, campus aggregation and
core networks.
The EX8200 line of switches consists of two chassis options:
• The Juniper Networks EX8208 Ethernet Switch offers eight dedicated slots in a 14
rack-unit (RU) chassis to support line cards offering a variety of 10/100/1000BASE-T,
100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X and 10 GbE interfaces. The EX8208 switch fabric delivers up
to 320 Gbps per slot, enabling wire-rate forwarding performance of 960 million packets
per second for packets of any size. A passive backplane supports future scalability to
6.2 Tbps, providing a built-in migration path to future 100 GbE deployments.
• The Juniper Networks EX8216 Ethernet Switch offers 16 dedicated line-card slots in a 21
RU chassis and features a switch fabric with 1.92 billion packets per second forwarding
performance—plus the same built-in migration path to support 100 GbE environments
in the future.
The EX8200 line of switches also offers some of the industry’s highest wire-speed 10 GbE
port densities. Up to three EX8208 switches or two EX8216 switches can fit in a single 42-
unit rack, delivering an unprecedented 256 wire-speed 10 GbE ports per rack.
Like the EX3200 and EX4200 lines of switches, the EX8200 line leverages the Junos OS
as well as other proven Juniper technology including the EX-PFE2 packet-forwarding
engine ASIC and the same switching fabric employed by the Juniper Networks MX Series
3D Universal Edge Routers, bringing true carrier-class performance and reliability to the
enterprise.
The EX8200 line of switches delivers high-speed,
high-density platforms for aggregation and core
deployments.
