EX3300-24P | Juniper 24-Port 1GbE PoE+ Rack mountable Network Switch with 4-Port 1/10GbE SFP+

The Juniper Networks EX3300-24P is an enterprise-class, high-performance stackable access switch designed to meet the rigorous connectivity, security, and power requirements of modern converged branch offices and campus networks.Housed in a standard 1U rackmount form factor, the EX3300-24P balances high-density data distribution with advanced carrier-class reliability. The "-24P" designation specifies its core interface layout: 24 RJ-45 copper Gigabit ports fully wired for Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), backed by 4 integrated dual-mode uplink/stacking slots. Driven by Juniper's battle-tested Junos operating system, the switch provides an exceptional foundation for routing data, voice, and video traffic seamlessly across the enterprise edge.

Key Features & Capabilities

• High-Density Power over Ethernet (PoE+) MatrixTo accommodate the growing density of IP endpoints in corporate environments, the switch serves as an intelligent power injector grid: Port Configuration: It features 24 native 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports.PoE+ Capability: Every single copper port is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard, outputting up to 30 Watts of power per port. This allows the switch to drive power-heavy devices—such as motorized Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) security cameras, dual-radio 802.11ax/802.11be wireless access points, and video-enabled VoIP phones—directly through the data cables.Power Budget Allocation: Backed by an internal power supply module, the switch delivers a total base PoE power budget of 405 Watts, giving administrators significant overhead to power multi-device office layouts.
• High-Speed 10GbE Uplinks & Virtual Chassis StackingTo eliminate network backhaul constraints when handling concurrent, data-intensive traffic streams, the EX3300-24P features an integrated uplink port array: Dual-Purpose SFP+ Slots: The front panel includes 4 specialized SFP+ slots that can handle both standard 1GbE SFP transceivers or full 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+) speeds.Virtual Chassis Technology: Utilizing Juniper’s proprietary Virtual Chassis technology, up to 10 EX3300 switches can be interconnected using the 10GbE SFP+ ports. Configured this way, the switches operate as a single, logical network entity managed through a unified IP address, providing up to 240 Gigabit access ports and an aggregated stacking bandwidth of $40\text{ Gbps}$ bi-directional.
• Carrier-Class Junos Operating SystemDriven by the same Junos OS code base utilized in Juniper’s core internet routers, the switch brings data-center level routing protocols down to the access layer: Layer 3 Routing Core: Out of the box, the software layer facilitates robust Layer 2 switching alongside foundational Layer 3 routing paths, including static routing and RIPv1/v2 protocols. It can be further upgraded via licensing to handle advanced enterprise-grade dynamic routing protocols like OSPFv2.Consistent Management Control: Because Junos OS implements a singular, unified configuration structure, administrators can utilize standard Junos Command Line Interface (CLI) commands, scripts, and automated deployment playbooks used across their entire network infrastructure.
• Advanced Security & Quality of Service (QoS)The switch functions as an aggressive edge gatekeeper, defending the interior enterprise network from localized cyber threats and data storms: Access Control Guardrails: Supports extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs), DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), and IEEE 802.1X network log-in frameworks to ensure rogue devices cannot intercept data or compromise the local network fabric.Quality of Service (QoS): Implements strict priority or Weighted Round Robin (WRR) traffic queuing across 8 hardware queues per port. This ensures real-time, mission-critical traffic (such as enterprise voice over IP and live video conferencing streams) is prioritized over generic file downloads, preventing packet jitter and audio dropouts.
