The EX4100 line of Ethernet access switches offers secure, cloud-ready access for enterprise campus, branch, and data center networks in the AI era and optimized for the cloud. These platforms boost network performance and visibility, meeting the security demands of todayas well as for networks of the next decade.
As part of the underlying infrastructure forJuniper Mist Wired Assurance, the EX4100 line is purpose-built for, and managed by, the cloud. The switches leverage Mist AI to simplify operations and provide better visibility into the experience of connected devices, delivering a refreshing, experience-first approach to access layer switching.
The Juniper Networks EX4100 line of Ethernet Switches offers a secure, cloud-ready portfolio of access switches ideal for enterprise branch, campus, and data center networks. The EX4100 switches combine the simplicity of the cloud, the power of Mist AI,and a robust hardware foundation with best-in-class security and performance to deliver a differentiated approach to access switching in the cloud, mobile, and IoT era. With Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, the EX4100 line of Switches can be effortlessly onboarded, configured, and managed from the cloud. This simplifies operations, improves visibility, and ensures a much better experience for connected devices.
Offering a full suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, the EX4100 enables multiple deployments, including campus, branch, and data center top-of-rack deployments. As scale requirements increase, Juniper's Virtual Chassis technology allows up to 10 EX4100 switches to be seamlessly interconnected and managed as a single device, delivering a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments.
The EX4100 family of Ethernet switches consists of the following models:
- The EX4100-48MP, which offers 16 x 100 MB/1GbE/2.5GbE and 32 x 10 MB/100 MB/1GbE Power over Ethernet (PoE++) access ports, delivering up to 90 W per PoE port with an overall total 1620 W of PoE power budget (using two power supplies)
- The EX4100-24MP, which offers 8 x 100 MB/1GbE/2.5GbE/5GbE/10GbE and 16 x 10 MB/100 MB/1GbE PoE++ access ports, delivering up to 90 W per port with an overall total 1620 W of PoE power budget (using two power supplies)
Architecture and Key Components
Cloud Management with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance Driven by Mist AI
EX4100 switches can be quickly and easily onboarded (Day 0), provisioned (Day 1), and managed (Day 2+) from the cloud with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, which brings AI-powered automation and insights that optimize experiences for end users and connected devices. The EX4100 provides rich Junos® operating system telemetry data for Mist AI, which helps achieve simpler operations, shorter mean time to repair (MTTR), and streamlined troubleshooting. For more information, read theJuniper Mist WiredAssurance datasheet.
In addition to Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, Marvis Virtual Network Assistant-a key part of The Self-Driving Network™- makes the Mist AI engine interactive. A digital extension of the IT team, Marvis offers automatic fixes or recommended actions, allowing IT teams to streamline how they troubleshoot and manage their network operations.
