8-slot EX9208 chassis for campus aggregation

The Juniper EX9208 is a rackmount switch chassis designed for high-density campus-aggregation and data-centre networks. It delivers up to 4.8 Tbps total throughput with 240 Gbps per slot full duplex. Two EX9200-RE2 routing engines and dual Switch Fabric-2 modules provide carrier-class redundancy. The platform targets network operators who need scalable Layer 3 connectivity in a single 8-slot enclosure.

Replaces fixed-configuration aggregation switches

This chassis replaces stacks of fixed-port aggregation switches when port density and uplink flexibility must grow without adding rack units. The jump is worth it when traffic demands exceed the backplane capacity of smaller EX Series models and when redundant routing engines are required for non-stop forwarding. Eight expansion slots accept line cards that can be added as capacity needs increase.

Passive midplane limits future fabric upgrades

The passive midplane architecture means fabric capacity is set by the installed Switch Fabric-2 modules and cannot be upgraded without a chassis replacement. Throughput per slot is capped at 240 Gbps full duplex, so line cards that exceed this rate cannot be fully utilised. Power input is 200/240 V AC only, with four 520 W supplies providing redundancy but no DC option.

Questions about this item

What rack space does the EX9208 chassis require?

The EX9208 is a rackmount chassis that occupies 8 slots in a standard rack; the supplied fan tray and blank panels fit within the same enclosure.

Which step is often missed when installing the routing engines and switch fabric modules?

After seating the two EX9200-RE2 routing engines and two Switch Fabric-2 modules, the passive midplane must be fully engaged before powering on the four 520 W AC PSUs.

What components will need replacement during the life of the EX9208?

The fan tray and any of the four 520 W AC power supplies are the field-replaceable units; routing engines and switch fabric modules can also be swapped if required.
