Description
The EX comes in two different shapes.
The first is the compact which competes against the Cisco compact switches like 3560C
The second is the full length one which is 1RU and is a normal switch.
This is the review for the full length one.
EX2200 normal
Front
24 port
48 port
Back
As you can see this switch doesn't have field replaceable components.
If a fan goes or a power supply goes. You need to replace the whole thing.
Models and part numbers
Pretty simple
24 port or 48 port.
PoE or non PoE.
There is also a DC model which is limited to 24 ports.
The switch gives you 4 uplinks which is nice.
It also has the remote management port which you can use for out of band management.
TAA - Trade Agreement Act
When you sell to the USA government in a contract over the sum of $194,000 the products must comply with TAA. This means they are
mostly produced or modified in the USA or a country that has a reciprocal trade agreement with the USA.
{China and most notable electronic makers are absent }
So basically, the parts are the same parts as a regular EX2200 but it is assembled in the USA, this will add 20% or less to the cost of each item.
Notice, when selling to the government of the USA you MUST use TAA.
Layer 3 routing protocols support
Each of these switches can be upgraded to support Layer 3.
EX-24-EFL
EX-48-EFL
Enhanced Feature License for EX 2200-24T/P and EX3300-24T/P SKUs
Enhanced Feature License for EX 2200-48T/P and EX3300-48T/P SKUs
Features Requiring a License on EX2200 Switches
For Juniper Networks EX2200 Ethernet Switches, the following features can be added to basic Junos OS by installing an enhanced feature license (EFL):
Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD)
Connectivity fault management (IEEE 802.1ag)
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) version 1 (IGMPv1), IGMPv2, and IGMPv3
OSPFv1/v2 (with four active interfaces)
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) dense mode, PIM source-specific mode, PIM sparse mode
Q-in-Q tunneling (IEEE 802.1ad)
Real-time performance monitoring (RPM)

To get an EFL license please provide the Serial number of the switch.
show chassis hardware
then reach out to your representative, if you don't have one let me know.
They will be able to generate the required license.
Power Cords
These power cords are pretty simple.
They are C13 on one side.
the other side will depend on the country.
If you need a different length or if you come from a country not on this list.
You can use a third party cable. We can provide this.
*By default the switch comes with 1 cable for the country it is being sold to.
Mounting the switch.
The switch includes the following kit by default.
This kit is for a 2 post rack
EX-RMK
EX Series Rack Mount Kit
If you want to mount it on a 4 post rack using all 4 corners.
EX-4PST-RMK
Adjustable 4-post rack-mount kit for EX and QFX5100
Your last option is to mount this switch on a wall.
EX-WMK-BFL
EX4200, EX4300, EX3200, EX3300 and EX2200 Wall Mount Kit with Baffle
Ports.
The EX2200-C
Has the following ports.
24 or 48 ports PoE or regular.
4 SFP ports
1 management port RJ-45
1 Console port rollover cable
Optics
Supported SFPs are
I've arranged this by the chances of someone ordering them
1 Gbps optics.
T is copper
SX is multimode
For singlemode ask for the distance to verify which one.
100 speed optics also called FE
EX-SFP-1FE-FX
EX-SFP-1FE-LX
EX-SFP-1FE-LX40K
SFP 100Base-FX Fast Optics, 1310nm for 2km transmission on MMF
SFP 100base-LX Fast Optics, 1310nm for 10km transmission on SMF
SFP FE 100base-LX Fast Optics, 1550nm for 40km transmission on SMF
These are mainly for backward compatibility to very old devices.
CWDM optics
CWDM allows you to use eight active wavelengths. So basically 8 people can send on the same fiber cable.
Each of the above works in one wavelength and the other side must have the same optic wavelength.
Single Strand
Single strand allows a client to get 1 Gbps of traffic on a single fiber cable.
So for example if the client has 1 Fiber cable
He can double the throughput he can run on it by using single strand technology.
So instead of 1Gbps of traffic, he can run 2Gbps. Blue will be receive and red will be send.
Anyway, I doubt many people are smart enough to use this and both sides must support the SFP technology.
USB port
There is a USB port just below the management port.
The USB port supports 1G , 2G ,4G
RE-USB-1G-S
RE-USB-2G-S
RE-USB-4G-S
USB media upgrade/spare for RE
2GB USB media upgrade/spare for RE
4GB USB media upgrade/spare for RE
Support options are.
Next Day Ship, this applies only to (AVAILABLE FOR BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, AND CHINA ONLY)
and means that they will ship it the next day, not when it arrives.
The support changes by country.
If your client is looking to save a little more.
Juniper has 3 year pre-paid bundles.
If and only if your client has 10 units or more.
You can get a site license.
For example if you are a college or school, where you mount these.
You can save a lot of money and get a site license.
All the units at the site must have this applied to them.
3 year pre-paid
5 year pre-paid
SV3-COR-EX2200-SITE
SV5-COR-EX2200-SITE
Juniper Care Core Support for 3 Year Prepaid Basic NETWORK LICENSE for EX2200
Juniper Care Core Support for 5 Year Prepaid Basic NETWORK LICENSE for EX2200
The Juniper options of support are listed below in this slide.
RPS - Redundant power system.
As you noticed the EX2200 has one power supply.
To avoid it stopping to work with power loss etc.
The Juniper team offer you the option of sourcing an external RPS.
The setup will look like the image above with the RPS being backup power supply.
One RPS can power up to 6 switches : ex3300 and ex2200 switches.
The RPS can have up to three EX-PWR3-930-AC
The RPS port on the EX 2200 is covered with a metal cover, simply remove the screws.
The RPS ports on the RPS are also covered so simply remove the one you need.
Then connect an RPS cable.
The part numbers are
Chassis
EX-RPS-PWR
External Redundant power system(RPS) for power supply redundancy; includes one RPS cable and two power supply slot blank covers (power supply to be ordered separately)
or
EX-RPS-PWR-930-AC
External Redundant power system(RPS) for power supply redundancy; includes one RPS cable, two power supply slot blank covers and one 930W AC power supply
Power supplies - maximum of three
EX-PWR3-930-AC
930W AC Power Supply with PoE+ Capability for EX4200, EX3200 and EX-RPS-PWR-930-AC (Power Cord needs to be ordered separately)
For each power supply you must order a power cord. Pay attention.
Cables
Cable to connect the EX to the RPS. {The cable is 1.5 meters}
EX-RPS-CBL
RPS cable for EX3300 and EX2200 switches
Spares
Now, in case your client threw away his blank that covers the power supply and wants a replacement.
If your client wants he can rack mount the RPS using the same rack mounts as the switches.
EX-RPS-PWR-BLNK
Blank for RPS PSU slot (spare)
EX-RMK
EX-4PST-RMK
EX Series Rack Mount Kit
Adjustable 4-post rack-mount kit for EX and QFX5100
A RPS doesn't need a JCARE contract.
