Overview: The Juniper Networks EX2300 Ethernet Switch offers an economical, entry-level, standalone solution for access-layer deployments in branch and remote offices, as well as enterprise campus networks. Both 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps access port options are available to provide higher-speed options, especially when connecting to 802.11ac Wave 2 access points. For small networks, up to four EX2300 switches can be interconnected in a Virtual Chassis configuration, allowing them to be managed as a single switch. Architecture & Key Components: The EX2300 occupies a single rack unit, delivering a compact solution for crowded wiring closets and access locations where space and power are at a premium. The EX2300 switch’s 10-inch/12-inch depth and low acoustics also make it ideal for open office deployments. For silent operation requirements, please see the EX2300-C, a…

Introduction to MPLS & SD WAN:  SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) and MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) are both types of networking technology used to connect remote networks, but they have some key differences. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a technology used to route network traffic using a label-switched-path network model. An MPLS network works to increase speed and control the flow of data packets along pre-defined network paths using specialized hardware routers A software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) is a large network that connects LANs using software, not hardware. SD-WANs do not require any specialized equipment for routing. They run over the regular Internet, making them cheaper to implement than other networking methods. The SD-WAN model does not exclude the usage of MPLS — MPLS can be one of the networking methods…
