EX8200-8XS Overview:
The EX8200-8XS is an eight-port 10GBASE-X line card with compact, modular
SFP+ fiber optic interfaces, enabling up to 64 line-rate 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports in an EX8208 chassis and 128 ports in an EX8216 chassis. The EX8200-8XS is
ideal for enterprise applications such as campus or data center uplink
aggregation, core and backbone interconnects, and for service providers
requiring high-density, wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet interconnects in metro
area networks, Internet exchange points, and points of presence (POPs). The
10-Gigabit Ethernet port densities afforded by the EX8200-8XS line cards also
enable EX8200 switches to consolidate aggregation and core layers in the data
center, simplifying the network architecture and reducing power, space, and
cooling requirements while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).
Juniper Networks EX8200 Ethernet line cards offer a variety of interfaces for
supporting high-density 10/100/1000BASE-T, 100BASE-FX/ 1000BASE-X, and
10-Gigabit Ethernet deployments. Working with the Juniper Networks EX8208
Ethernet Switch eight-slot and the Juniper Networks EX8216 Ethernet Switch
16-slot modular chassis, the EX8200 Ethernet line cards offer a variety of
flexible, high-density interfaces for high-performance data center and campus
aggregation and core environments.
The Juniper Networks EX8200 line of Ethernet switches offer powerful, modular
platforms that deliver the performance, scalability, and carrier-class
reliability required for today’s high-density enterprise data center and campus
aggregation and core environments, as well as high-performance service provider
interconnects.
EX8200 Ethernet line cards are specifically designed to optimize enterprise
applications. Each EX8200 Ethernet line card features an on-board Packet
Forwarding Engine—the EX-PFE2—that is equipped with two purpose-built,
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), one to perform wire-speed
packet processing at line rates, and another to perform internal deep packet
queuing and buffering while providing a high-speed interface to the chassis
switch fabric. In addition, each line card contains a local processor which
provides scalable local control and status
processing.
