In this guide, we provide a simple, three-step path, to quickly get you up and running with your new

videos. You’ll learn how to install an AC-powered EX4600, power it up, and congure basic sengs.
NOTE: Are you interested in geng hands-on experience with the topics and operaons covered
in this guide? Visit Juniper Networks Virtual Labs and reserve your free sandbox today! You’ll nd
the Junos Day One Experience sandbox in the stand alone category. EX switches are not
virtualized. In the demonstraon, focus on the virtual QFX device. Both the EX and QFX
switches are congured with the same Junos commands.
Meet the EX4600
The Juniper Networks® EX4600 oers a compact, highly scalable, high-performance 10GbE soluon for
enterprise campus distribuon deployments as well as low-density data center top-of-rack
environments. A single EX4600 can support up to 72 10GbE ports (using 10GbE breakout cables on
40GbE xed ports) at line rate. In addion, Virtual Chassis technology makes it easy to scale the network
while reducing management complexity. By adding switches to a Virtual Chassis conguraon, you can
grow the number of switch ports without increasing the number of devices to manage.
The base EX4600 model has:
• 24 xed small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ access ports
• Four xed quad SFP+ (QSFP+) high-speed uplinks
• Two power supplies
