Software
Juniper Networks 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 EX Series switches
also runs on all Juniper Networks M Series, MX Series, and T Series routers, and SRX Series Services
Gateways.
Benefits of the EX9251 Switch
Simplified network architecture—EX9251 switches deliver a simple, secure, virtualized network
environment that increases business agility. They are ideal for simplifying campus, data center, and
combined campus and data center network environments by collapsing network layers.
Support for Junos Fusion Enterprise—EX9251 switches support Junos Fusion Enterprise technology that
enables a large number of devices deployed throughout a building to be managed as a single, logical
device, thus reducing network complexity, simplifying network management, and lowering operational
costs.
