Table 1: First Junos OS Release for Each EX Series Switch

Switch	Junos OS Release
EX2200 switches	Junos OS Release 10.1R1 *EX2200-C models: Junos OS Release 11.3R1
EX3200 switches	Junos OS Release 9.0R1

EX4500 Virtual Chassis and mixed EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis	Junos OS Release 11.1R1 Note: A mixed EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis supports the same features as an EX4500 Virtual Chassis. The supported features for a mixed EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis are the exact same whether an EX4200 switch or an EX4500 switch is configured in the master role.
EX6200 switch	Junos OS Release 11.3R2
EX8208 switches	Junos OS Release 9.4R1
EX8216 switches	Junos OS Release 9.5R1
EX8200 Virtual Chassis	Junos OS Release 10.4R1

Note: In the features tables, software features that run on EX4200 Virtual Chassis are indicated in the column headed "EX3200, EX4200 Switches" and software features that run on EX3300 Virtual Chassis are indicated in the column headed “EX3300 Switches”. If a software feature only runs on an EX3300 or EX4200 Virtual Chassis and not for a standalone switch, the column entry includes a note making this distinction.
