Product Identity
The HPE Juniper Networking EX4550Product is a Layer 3 switch module that provides 32 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports in a compact form factor. It delivers 480 Gbps of wire-speed connectivity for servers and network aggregation.
Target Audience
This module suits environments that require dense 10GbE fiber uplinks or downlink connectivity without stacked switch architectures. Buyers who need copper RJ-45 ports, Power over Ethernet, or built-in stacking capability should look at alternative platforms.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The switch maintains wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding across all 32 SFP+ slots under continuous traffic. Its 480 Gbps fabric supports full-duplex throughput on every port simultaneously during prolonged production workloads.

Questions about this item
Which SFP or SFP+ transceivers must I supply for the 32 fixed SFP+ ports?
The module has 32 fixed SFP+ slots that accept 1GbE or 10GbE SFP and SFP+ transceivers; you choose the optics that match your fibre type and reach.
Will the EX4550 32-port fibre switch interoperate with my existing 1GbE copper switches?
Yes, the SFP+ ports support 1GbE SFP transceivers, so you can link the new switch to older 1GbE copper gear using copper or fibre SFP modules.
How can I confirm the switch is forwarding at wire speed after installation?
Check the interface statistics for 480 Gbps aggregate throughput and verify Layer 3 routing tables are populated across the 32 active ports.
