Juniper EX Series EX4600 Ethernet Switch

The EX4600 is a compact, scalable, 10GbE solution for enterprise campus distribution deployments and low-density data center top-of-rack environments. The 4600 is cloud-ready and ZTP-enabled, so you can onboard, configure, and manage it with Juniper Mist™ Wired Assurance for improved connected-device experiences. In addition, the Juniper Mist Cloud streamlines deploying and managing your campus fabric, while Mist AI simplifies operations and improves visibility into the performance of connected devices.

For small data centers, the EX4600 virtual chassis, when deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration, is ideally suited as an aggregation/core switch, aggregating 10GbE expansions from EX4300 Virtual Chassis configurations in the access layer.

Customers introducing 10GbE into their server racks can use the EX4600 to add 10GbE-attached servers, iSCSI, and network-attached storage (NAS) with minimal impact to their current switching infrastructure.

Features + Benefits

Juniper Mist Wired Assurance

Claim, configure, and troubleshoot switches with a few clicks. Wired Assurance delivers better experiences for connected devices through AI-powered automation and service-level expectations (SLEs) with Mist’s AI engine and microservices cloud.

The EX Switches provide rich streaming telemetry data to enable the insights for switch health metrics and anomaly detection. Streamline IT operations, reduce mean time to repair, and deliver optimized experiences across wired and wireless.

Virtual Chassis

With Virtual Chassis technology, up to ten interconnected EX4600 switches operate as a single logical device, reducing operational expenses and simplifying management.

Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology allows any combination of up to 10 EX4300 and/or EX4600 switches to be seamlessly interconnected and managed as a single device, delivering a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments.

MACsec Support

EX4600 switches support IEEE 802.1ae MACsec, providing support for link-layer data confidentiality, data integrity, and data origin authentication.

Secure Campus Fabric

Switches are connected as an IP fabric with EVPN-VXLAN overlay. The IP fabric can extend to connect multiple enterprise buildings, while VXLAN allows stretching Layer 2 (L2) across the network.
