The Juniper Networks EX9200 line of modular Ethernet switches provides a programmable, flexible, and scalable core for delivering mission critical applications in both campus and data center environments, reducing cost and complexity while offering carrier-class reliability. High port densities enable the EX9200 to consolidate and aggregate network layers, dramatically simplifying campus and data center architectures while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) and lowering power, space and cooling requirements.
The line cards in EX9200 switches combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet interfaces in a single assembly. Line cards are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
