The lineup of Juniper EX9200 Ethernet switches provides a flexible and scalable networking solution, especially for large-scale data centers. At BrightStar Systems, we stock high-quality used EX9200 switches and compatible line cards to ensure you can create the perfect setup for your networking needs.

A High-density, Modular Chassis

EX9200 Ethernet switches are the highest performing and the most flexible EX Series switches available from Juniper Networks. And, due to their size, they also support the greatest port density of any EX Series switch. In other words, they’re designed for the most rigorous networking environments.

The Juniper Networks EX9200 Series is broken up into three distinct modular chassis. Each chassis is a different size and features different specifications. The biggest difference between the three chassis is the number of supported line card slots. The larger the chassis, the more slots.

Below are the three modular chassis that make up the EX9200 Series, as well as the size of each chassis and the number of supported line card slots.

• EX9204 Switch: 5 rack units (RU) in size, supports up to three line cards.
• EX9208 Switch: 8 RU in size, supports up to six line cards.
• EX9214 Switch: 16 RU in size, supports up to 12 line cards.

If you’re not sure which EX9200 chassis would be best for your networking needs, please reach out. Our expert sales representatives are happy to walk you through the differences and answer your questions.

Juniper EX9200 Specs

The specifications of Juniper Networks’ EX9200 devices are largely determined by the line cards. However, more line card slots generally translate to more available Ethernet ports, as well as a wider variety of port configurations — solely because more slots allow for greater flexibility.

The throughput of each chassis is on a per-slot basis — i.e. each slot has its own maximum throughput. The maximum throughput also varies depending on the switch fabric modules. For more details related to the throughput on EX9200 switches, please refer to the official Juniper EX9200 datasheet.

Looking specifically at the number of 1G, 10, 40G, and 100G Ethernet ports each chassis supports provides a clearer picture of exactly how the port density varies between the three chassis.

• The EX9204 supports 120 1G Ethernet ports, 96 10g ports, 30 40G ports, and 30 100G ports.
• The EX9208 supports 240 1G Ethernet ports, 240 10G ports, 90 40G ports, and 90 100G ports.
• The  EX9214 supports 480 1G Ethernet ports, 480 10G ports, 120 40G ports, and 120 100G ports.

Those are the maximum port densities for each chassis, but the port configurations that are deployed are based on your specific networking needs. That’s why — when deploying EX9200 switches — it’s extremely important to understand each of the specific line cards that are at your disposal.

Juniper EX9200 Line Cards

You can outfit all three chassis with a variety of line cards, ranging from high-density 1G line cards to high-speed 100G line cards. All line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable, meaning you can remove and replace them without turning off the switch and without disrupting switch functions.

Below are specifications for the nine line cards we stock for the Juniper EX9200 switch series.

EX9200-2C-8XS

The Juniper EX9200-2C-8XS line card has two C form-factor pluggable (CFP) ports that support up to 100G Ethernet and 8 SFP+ ports that support up to 10G Ethernet. It’s compatible with all three chassis.

EX9200-4QS

The Juniper EX9200-4QS line card includes four QSFP+ ports that support up to 40G Ethernet. These line cards also require one entire line card slot. It’s also compatible with all three EX9200 chassis.

EX9200-6QS

The Juniper EX9200-6QS line card includes six QSFP+ ports that support up to 40G Ethernet and 24 SFP+ ports that support up to 10G Ethernet. All three EX9200 chassis support this line card.

EX9200-MPC

Unlike every other EX9200 line card, the Juniper EX9200-MPC is a modular port concentrator (MPC), which means it supports two modular interface cards (MICs), each with its own specifications.

The EX9200-MPC supports the following MICs:

• EX9200-10XS-MIC: includes 10 SFP+ ports that support up to 10G Ethernet
• EX9200-20F-MIC: includes 20 SFP ports that support up to 1G Ethernet
• EX9200-40T-MIC: includes 40 RJ-45 ports that support 100 Mbps, 1G, and 10G Ethernet

Any combination of the EX9200-10XS-MIC and the EX9200-20F-MIC can be inserted into the EX9200-MPC, and only one EX9200-40T-MIC can be inserted at any given time.

EX9200-32XS

The Juniper EX9200-32XS line card includes 32 SFP+ ports that support up to 10G Ethernet. This line card is supported on all three EX9200 chassis, including the EX9204, the EX9208, and the EX9214.

EX9200-40T

The Juniper EX9200-40T line card includes 40 RJ-45 ports, which can be configured for multiple Ethernet speeds: 100 Mbps, 1G, and 10G. This line card is available on all three EX9200 devices.

EX9200-40F

The Juniper EX9200-40F line card includes 40 SFP ports that support up to 1G Ethernet. All three EX9200 chassis support this particular line card.

EX9200-40F-M

The Juniper EX9200-40F-M line card includes 40 SFP ports that support up to 1G Ethernet. It also includes Juniper’s Media Access Control Security (MACsec) capability, which provides security for all traffic that travels through the line card’s ports. This line card is available on all three EX9200 switches.

EX9200-40XS

The Juniper EX9200-40XS line card includes 40 SFP+ ports that support up to 10G Ethernet. It’s the second line card that includes Juniper’s Media Access Control Security (MACsec) capability. Just like every other line card we stock, this line card is available on all three EX9200 switches.
