1. EX Switches have Frontal LCD panel for maintenance procedures, isn’t it crazy that you can reset switch to factory default just pushing one button!
2. Using LCD Panel, There’s an EZ setup mode, it sets juniper IP to 192.168.1.1 and acts as a DHCP for that subnet on GE0/0/0 (default username/password: root)
3. There’s a technology for stacking switches from back just like Cisco 3750s, Juniper calls it VC or Virtual Chassis, you can connect switches in any order with 128Gbps throughput. (64Gbps duplex)
4. 10 Boxes are supported in a VC, (Cisco supports up to 9 switches in one stack) and the good news is that you can use a Gigabit interface or a 10 GigE interface to connected to VC… so if your switch is far from other Stack members, now you can Stack several switches around campus with Fiber and no longer limited to the stupid short stack cables.
5. VC defines three roles: Master, Backup & Linecard – versus Cisco having Master and Member roles.
6. Highest priority wins mastership (1 to 255, default: 128) – Cisco has priority 1 to 15, default: 1
7. Juniper supports hot plug installation, so new members can be powered on and join to the current stack.
