Juniper EX9250 Line of Ethernet Switches

The EX9250 line of Ethernet switches delivers compact, programmable, and scalable core and aggregation solutions for enterprise environments. Designed to reduce cost and complexity while maintaining carrier-class reliability, the EX9250 enables organizations to deploy an evolved enterprise core with support for Layer 2 and Layer 3 applications using Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) technologies. These open standards allow enterprises to create a coherent, end-to-end network across geographically dispersed sites while applying unified traffic segmentation policies.

Key Features

• Port Density: 24 x 100GbE, 36 x 40GbE, 144 x 10GbE

• Form Factor: 1 RU or 3 RU

• Switching Capacity: 2 Tbps (4.8 Tbps system, 2.4 Tbps per slot)

• MAC Addresses: 1 million

• Fabric Support: EVPN-VXLAN, MC-LAG, ESI-LAG

Features & Benefits

Compact Form Factor

• Shallow 1 RU and 3 RU designs ideal for space-constrained campus closets and enterprise wiring environments.

End-to-End Network Segmentation

• EVPN-VXLAN enables consistent network segmentation from campus to data center.

• Allows deployment of an evolved core without requiring replacement of the existing infrastructure.

Secure Campus Fabric

• Supports IP fabric with EVPN-VXLAN overlay, extending connectivity across multiple enterprise buildings.

• VXLAN allows Layer 2 extension over Layer 3 networks.

• EVPN ensures efficient network utilization and natively supports active/active multihoming.

MACsec AES256 Support

• IEEE 802.1ae MACsec with AES-256 encryption for link-layer data confidentiality, integrity, and authentication.

• EX9253-12C8Q-M line cards provide enhanced MACsec support for secure high-performance traffic.

Field-Proven Juniper Technology

• Built on high-performance ASICs and Junos OS for cloud-grade architecture and always-on reliability.

• Compact, programmable, and scalable design simplifies campus and data center network architectures.

Product Overview

The EX9250 line is ideal for aggregating access switches such as EX2300, EX3400, EX4300, and EX4600 in campus wiring closets and on-premises data centers. By enabling Evolved Enterprise Core deployments with EVPN, the EX9250 provides a clear path to a 100GbE core while simplifying network design.

Product Description

As a key component of Juniper’s AI-Driven Enterprise, the EX9250 decouples the overlay from the underlay with EVPN and VXLAN, giving network administrators the flexibility to create logical Layer 2 networks across different Layer 3 infrastructures. Its programmable, scalable architecture makes it a future-ready solution for modern enterprises seeking high-performance, secure, and easily manageable core and aggregation switching.
