Juniper EX2300-48P: High-Density PoE+ Switch for Scalable Enterprise Access Networks
The Juniper EX2300-48P Ethernet Switch is built to meet the demands of large-scale enterprise access deployments. It offers high port density, Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), and cloud-ready management, making it an ideal choice for modern converged networks.
Designed for environments requiring extensive device connectivity and intelligent automation, this switch simplifies access-layer deployments in offices, campuses, retail, and healthcare facilities.
Power-Ready with 48 PoE+ Ports and High Budget Capacity
The EX2300-48P includes 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, which provide reliable power and data through a single Ethernet cable.
Each port can deliver up to 30W, supported by a total PoE budget of 740W, which covers a wide range of powered devices.
You can easily connect and power devices such as:
-
Wi-Fi 6 or 6E access points
-
VoIP phones and video conferencing hardware
-
IP surveillance cameras
-
IoT sensors and controllers
With this high PoE capacity, the EX2300-48P reduces the need for extra cabling and power sources.
Flexible Uplinks and Scalable Stacking
To ensure high-speed connectivity upstream, the switch offers 4 dedicated 1/10GbE SFP/SFP+ uplink ports.
These uplinks support fast data transfers between the access and core layers, minimizing latency in high-traffic environments.
The switch also supports Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology, which lets you stack up to four EX2300 switches.
Stacking improves scalability and allows centralized configuration and management, streamlining operations and reducing complexity.
Mist AI for Automated and Proactive Network Management
The EX2300-48P integrates with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, bringing AI-driven cloud management to your wired access layer.
By using Mist AI, IT teams gain access to:
-
Zero-touch provisioning and auto-configuration
-
Real-time network insights via Service-Level Expectations (SLEs)
-
Proactive anomaly detection and guided troubleshooting through Marvis Virtual Network Assistant
As a result, organizations can reduce downtime, improve user experience, and lower operating expenses (OpEx).
Enterprise-Grade Security and EVPN-VXLAN Support
Security remains a top priority in enterprise networks, and the EX2300-48P addresses it at multiple layers.
It supports essential access control features such as:
-
802.1X port-based authentication
-
Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI)
-
DHCP snooping
-
MAC limiting and Access Control Lists (ACLs)
These features prevent unauthorized access, spoofing, and other common threats at the edge.
Moreover, the switch supports EVPN-VXLAN, enabling scalable Layer 2 and Layer 3 campus fabrics for next-generation architectures.
Quality of Service (QoS) for Critical Application Performance
The EX2300-48P ensures consistent network performance through advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features.
You can prioritize traffic for:
-
VoIP and unified communications
-
Real-time video streaming
-
Cloud-based applications and SaaS platforms
By maintaining low latency and high throughput, QoS ensures a seamless experience for end users.
Powered by Junos OS with Flexible Licensing Options
The switch runs on Junos OS, Juniper’s trusted network operating system known for its stability, security, and scalability.
With a consistent CLI and support for automation, Junos simplifies device management and troubleshooting across large deployments.
Through Flex Licensing, you can enable advanced services like dynamic routing and EVPN as your network evolves—without needing to replace hardware.
Ideal for High-Density, Converged Environments
The EX2300-48P is best suited for:
-
Enterprise offices with large numbers of powered endpoints
-
Smart buildings deploying PoE-based IoT devices
-
Education and healthcare facilities needing high availability and visibility
-
Retail or hospitality venues with advanced wireless infrastructure
Thanks to its dense port count, strong PoE support, and cloud-ready automation, the switch meets today’s connectivity demands while preparing for tomorrow’s.
