Juniper Networks EX2300-48G-PoE+-S Compact Switch

The Juniper Networks EX2300-48G-PoE+-S is a refreshed member of the EX2300 compact access switching family, purpose-built for branch offices, small campuses, and distributed enterprise edge environments. The switch delivers 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ access ports alongside four 1GbE SFP uplink ports, all housed in a fanless-capable, compact 1U form factor that operates quietly in open-office and wiring-closet settings. Powered by a purpose-built ASIC and running Juniper's Junos operating system, the platform provides deterministic forwarding performance with a non-blocking architecture at up to 176 Gbps switching capacity, supporting a broad feature set including RSTP/MSTP, 802.1Q VLANs, LLDP-MED, and granular QoS for unified wired and wireless access convergence.

The distinguishing characteristic of the '-S' SKU is the bundled Juniper Mist cloud-native management subscription, which activates the full Mist AI-driven wired assurance stack from day one. Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) via the Mist cloud eliminates manual CLI staging: devices claim themselves to the tenant organization upon first WAN contact, receive configuration templates, and begin streaming rich telemetry—port-level event logs, STP topology, PoE utilization, and client association data—to the Mist dashboard for AIOps-driven troubleshooting and proactive anomaly detection. This subscription-inclusive model simplifies procurement and accelerates time-to-operations for IT teams managing geographically dispersed sites without on-site technical staff.

As an EX2300-series platform, the switch supports Virtual Chassis technology, enabling up to four EX2300 units to be interconnected and managed as a single logical device, scaling port density without adding management complexity. The switch's PoE+ budget of up to 740 W (with the PoE++ power supply option) comfortably powers IP phones, 802.11ax access points, IP cameras, and IoT endpoints. Integration with Juniper's broader AI-Native Networking Platform means the EX2300-48G-PoE+-S participates in end-to-end, AI-driven network operations alongside Juniper Mist Access Points and SRX firewalls, delivering correlated wired-wireless client insights from a single cloud pane of glass.

Ideal for

• Zero-touch branch office deployment where remote sites are provisioned automatically via Mist cloud without requiring on-site IT personnel
• Small campus wiring-closet access layer providing 802.3at PoE+ power to 802.11ax wireless access points and IP telephony endpoints
• Retail and hospitality distributed edge environments requiring silent fanless operation and centralized AI-driven assurance monitoring
• IoT and physical security convergence scenarios powering IP surveillance cameras and door controllers alongside standard data clients from a single switch
• Virtual Chassis stack deployments aggregating up to four EX2300 units into a single management domain to scale port density in growing branch locations
• Unified wired-wireless assurance environments where correlated client telemetry across EX2300 access ports and Juniper Mist APs enables rapid Mean-Time-to-Innocence troubleshooting
