JUNIPER EX2300-48T-VC EX2300 Series Ethernet Switches

EX2300-48T-VC Hardware Identity

EX2300-48T-VC is a Juniper EX2300 fixed-configuration Ethernet switch. Its verified hardware profile is 48 10/100/1000BASE-T access ports; no PoE on access ports. The complete code carries Virtual Chassis license/order qualifier. Preserve every suffix on the quote, carton and asset record.

Port and power boundary

no PoE budget. The uplink configuration is four SFP/SFP+ 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.

Order-form control 3

The VC suffix must be reconciled with the intended Virtual Chassis deployment. Record member count, VCP interfaces and optics, topology, software release, primary and backup roles, preprovisioning and split-brain recovery. Confirm what the order qualifier supplies and what remains a separate optic or cable. A standalone link-up test does not validate the VC design.

SKU-specific acceptance

For the VC-qualified non-PoE line, validate member roles and VCP optics while keeping endpoint power injection outside the switch bill. Preprovision the non-PoE member, document VCP optics and prove the intended topology under one-link failure. Track uplinks and access VLANs through mastership change, but omit powered-device tests that do not apply. Close the old member only after configuration, monitoring and serial inventory agree.

TAA control

Keep the complete TAA-qualified order code on the quote, invoice, carton and asset record. Validate procurement eligibility with the contracting authority rather than a shortened base model.

PoE firmware

For multigigabit PoE platforms, verify Junos and PoE controller firmware before enabling higher-power modes. Test representative endpoints and record negotiated class.

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.
