JUNIPER EX2300-48MP EX2300 Series Ethernet Switches

EX2300-48MP Hardware Identity

EX2300-48MP is a Juniper EX2300 fixed-configuration Ethernet switch. Its verified hardware profile is 48 copper access ports including multigigabit-capable ports; PoE/PoE+ on all 48 access ports. This base order code has no TAA, VC, DC or explicit airflow qualifier in the model string; do not import those properties from a nearby SKU.

Port and power boundary

740 W maximum PoE/PoE+ budget. The uplink configuration is six 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. Optics, optional uplink modules, cables and any separately ordered power or mounting items must be reconciled in the final bill of materials.

EX2300 architecture control

EX2300 acceptance should reflect a compact access-switch design. Record the fixed power arrangement, access-port population and the exact number of SFP/SFP+ uplinks on this model. If Virtual Chassis is planned, Juniper documents a maximum of four EX2300 members and requires SFP+ rather than SFP transceivers for VCP links. Preserve member IDs, VCP optics, Junos release and recovery behavior. Do not borrow EX3400 redundant-supply or larger-chassis assumptions.

Order-form control 1

AC power acceptance requires the supported input range, regional cord, receptacle, circuit capacity and selected supply wattage to be documented. Where redundant supplies are used, place them on the intended independent circuits and test loss of one feed. Do not substitute a DC chassis or mix supply wattage or airflow. Retain supply serials, cord type and circuit labels with commissioning evidence.

Order-form control 2

Where the PID has no explicit AFI or AFO suffix, use the Juniper model table and actual FRU labels to establish the shipped airflow. Record intake and exhaust orientation before rack placement, and reject any replacement fan or supply whose airflow differs. The absence of a suffix is not permission to mix directions or to infer the pattern from another chassis.

SKU-specific acceptance

For this multigigabit access switch, inventory endpoints needing rates above one gigabit and test cabling before promising faster negotiation. Select a representative set of one-, two-and-a-half-gigabit endpoints and certify their permanent links before migration. Preserve negotiated rate, cable result, PoE class, switch errors and client throughput. If a port falls back, diagnose cabling and endpoint capability rather than advertising multigigabit service from the chassis name alone.

Install base

Register additions and FRU changes under the correct support record. Keep serial, site, power, airflow and module inventory synchronized with the operational asset system.

Optics bill

List each optic, cable type, reach, connector and peer interface. Chassis port count does not include the transceivers needed for an operational link.

Power design

Confirm AC or DC input, feed count, connector or cord, supply wattage and redundancy target. The exact chassis suffix must agree with the facility design.

Rack fit

Confirm rack type, depth, rail or bracket kit, service clearance and cable bend radius. Uplink modules and deep optics can change the usable rear clearance.

Receiving

Check chassis label, power supplies, fan labels, modules and accessories against the exact PID before installation. Quarantine mixed airflow or wrong-input substitutions.

Lifecycle

Review Juniper lifecycle and supported-release information before expanding an older platform. Tie spares and new capacity to a dated migration decision.
