JUNIPER EX4600-40F-AFO EX4600 Series Ethernet Switches

EX4600-40F-AFO Hardware Identity

EX4600-40F-AFO is a Juniper EX4600 fixed-configuration Ethernet switch. Its verified hardware profile is 24 fixed SFP/SFP+ ports and four fixed QSFP+ ports; no copper PoE access ports. The complete code carries airflow-out order form. Preserve every suffix on the quote, carton and asset record.

Port and power boundary

two power supplies and five fans shipped by default for non-S model. The uplink configuration is two expansion bays for supported modules. Optics, optional uplink modules, cables and any separately ordered power or mounting items must be reconciled in the final bill of materials.

EX4600 architecture control

EX4600 acceptance should reflect a compact distribution or low-density data-center platform. Reconcile the 24 fixed SFP/SFP+ ports, four fixed QSFP+ ports, two expansion bays, both power supplies and all five fan modules. Decide whether the unit is standalone, an all-EX4600 Virtual Chassis member or part of a supported mixed design, and record the Junos-dependent role. Breakout and expansion counts are design results, not ports included automatically with the base chassis.

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

AFO acceptance means air enters at the port panel and exhausts through the FRU side, also described as front-to-back airflow. Check all fan and supply labels for AIR OUT or AFO, compare the rack cold-aisle design and preserve photographs. Mixed airflow components are not an acceptable redundant set even when the electrical rating matches.

SKU-specific acceptance

Stage this EX4600 as a campus distribution candidate and prove route convergence, burst handling and expansion-bay inventory before production cutover. Run a distribution acceptance using redundant uplinks, representative routing adjacencies, burst traffic and one module-bay inventory check. Capture control-plane alarms, queue drops, temperatures and convergence timing. Do not populate an expansion bay until the module, Junos release, airflow and optics are approved as one change.

Migration evidence

Map VLANs, routing, policy, uplinks, PoE endpoints and monitoring dependencies to the successor design. Close old serials only after service and telemetry are verified.

Airflow match

Record rack cold aisle, intake side and exhaust side. Fan modules and power supplies must use the same airflow direction; a suffix mismatch is a receiving failure.

Junos baseline

Record the approved Junos release and hardware support evidence before staging. Preserve the initial configuration, rescue state and post-upgrade validation.

Uplink plan

Map every uplink speed, optic, breakout, LAG member and peer. Optional uplink modules and transceivers must appear as separate bill-of-material lines where required.

Capacity test

Measure representative access, uplink and control-plane load after staging. Preserve errors, drops, temperature and latency rather than accepting link-up alone.

Failure domain

Define what remains online after loss of one feed, supply, fan, uplink or VC member. Test the approved failure case and retain recovery timing.
