EX2300 Switches in a Virtual Chassis

Benefits of Virtual Chassis on Switches

 Simplifies configuration and maintenance: Multiple devices can be managed
as a single device with the same or similar capabilities as the standalone
device.
 Increases fault tolerance and high availability (HA): A Virtual Chassis can
remain active and network traffic can be redirected to other member switches
when a single member switch fails.
 Flattens your network and reduces networking overhead by allowing network
devices to synchronize to one resilient logical device rather than to multiple
physical devices.
 Enables a simplified Layer 2 network topology that minimizes or eliminates the
need for loop prevention protocols such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
  Provides a flexible model for expanding your network: You can easily add
Virtual Chassis member switches to increase the number of access ports on
your network to support more servers, computers, phones, or other devices
with minimal complications to the existing network topology and switch
configuration.

Features Requiring a License on EX2300 Switches

EX2300 switches have enhanced feature licenses (EFLs).

To use the following features on the EX2300 switches, you must install an EFL:

 Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)

 IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) version 1 (IGMPv1), IGMPv2,
and IGMPv3
 IPv6 routing protocols: Multicast Listener Discovery version 1 and 2 (MLD
v1/v2), OSPFv3, PIM multicast, VRRPv3
 Multicast Source Discovery protocol (MSDP)
 Operations Administration Management (OAM) (Connectivity Fault
Management (CFM)
 OSPF v2/v3
 Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) dense mode, PIM source-specific mode,
PIM sparse mode
 Real-time performance monitoring (RPM)
 RIPng (RIPng is for RIP IPv6)
 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

The EFLs that you can purchase for EX2300 switch models. If you have the license,
you can run all of the enhanced software features mentioned above on your EX2300
switch.

EX2300-48T

EX2300-48P

EX2300-48MP

Virtual Chassis feature support on EX2300 switches:

 The EX-12-EFL SKU includes the EX2300-VC (Virtual Chassis feature) license. EX2300-C-
12P and EX2300-C-12T switches do not require an additional EX2300-VC license if you
purchases the EFL license.
 EX2300-24T, EX2300-24P, EX2300-24MP, EX2300-48T, EX2300-48P, and EX2300-48MP
switches do not include the EX2300-VC (Virtual Chassis feature). If you want to use Virtual
Chassis feature, you must purchase a separate EX2300-VC license for each EX2300
switch.
