Juniper EX2300-24P: Reliable and Scalable PoE+ Switch for Modern Access Networks
The Juniper EX2300-24P PoE Ethernet Switch is a compact, high-performance Layer 2/Layer 3 switch designed for entry-level access deployments. It combines Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support, advanced security, and automation capabilities, making it an excellent solution for offices, branch locations, and campus environments. With a space-saving 1 RU form factor, the EX2300-24P simplifies cabling and power management while delivering the performance and flexibility needed for modern converged access networks.
Robust PoE+ Power for Converged Devices
The Juniper EX2300-24P PoE features 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, capable of delivering up to 30W per port. This is ideal for powering a wide range of network-connected devices, including:
-
VoIP phones
-
Wireless access points (Wi-Fi 6/6E)
-
IP security cameras
-
IoT sensors
With a total PoE power budget of 370W, the switch supports mixed device environments efficiently, eliminating the need for separate power sources and simplifying deployments in workspaces and smart buildings.
High-Speed Uplinks and Stackable Scalability
In addition to its 24 copper ports, the EX2300-24P includes 4 dedicated 1/10GbE SFP/SFP+ uplink ports, ensuring high-speed connections to distribution or core layers. For scalability, Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology allows up to four EX2300 switches to operate as a single logical device. This enables centralized management, reduced complexity, and cost-effective scaling as network demands grow.
Cloud-Managed Simplicity with Mist AI
The EX2300-24P integrates seamlessly with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, bringing AI-driven automation to wired access networks. Powered by Mist AI, it provides:
-
Automated provisioning
-
Service-Level Expectation (SLE) monitoring
-
Proactive issue identification and resolution via the Marvis Virtual Network Assistant
This AI-based approach transforms traditional network operations, enabling IT teams to resolve issues faster, reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), and improve user experience across the network.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Reliability
Security is built-in at every layer. The EX2300-24P supports a wide range of access control and threat mitigation features, including:
-
802.1X port-based authentication
-
Dynamic ARP inspection
-
DHCP snooping
-
MAC limiting
For network resilience, features like Resilient Trunk Groups (RTG) and link aggregation help maintain high availability, even during link or device failures. The switch also supports EVPN-VXLAN, enabling scalable Layer 2/Layer 3 fabric architectures ideal for distributed campus networks.
Quality of Service (QoS) for Performance-Critical Applications
The EX2300-24P is built to handle converged networks where voice, video, and data share the same infrastructure. Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities allow administrators to prioritize latency-sensitive traffic, ensuring consistent performance for:
-
Unified communications (VoIP and video conferencing)
-
Real-time collaboration apps
-
Critical business applications
Powered by Junos OS and Flexible Licensing
Running on Junos OS, Juniper’s proven and secure network operating system, the EX2300-24P offers consistent performance, a familiar CLI, and rich Layer 2/Layer 3 features. Flexible Juniper Flex Licensing allows you to unlock advanced capabilities like dynamic routing protocols and EVPN-VXLAN as needed, keeping initial costs low while enabling future upgrades.
Ideal Use Cases for the EX2300-24P
This PoE+ switch is perfect for organizations that need:
-
A cost-effective access layer with enterprise-grade performance
-
Simplified deployments for VoIP, Wi-Fi, and IoT infrastructure
-
Scalable, stackable switching for growing office or campus environments
-
AI-driven operations with minimal hands-on intervention
Whether you’re building a new branch office or upgrading your campus network, the Juniper EX2300-24P delivers a balance of performance, automation, and reliability.
