EX6210 Line Cards
Line Card Model and Version Compatibility in an EX6200 Switch
Three line cards are available for EX6200 switches. Table 1 shows the model numbers, the names of the line cards, and the Junos OS release in which the models were first supported.
Table 1: Line Card Models by Junos OS Release
Model number | Name | First Junos OS Release |
---|---|---|
EX6200-48P | 48-port PoE+ line card | 11.3R2 |
EX6200-48T | 48-port RJ-45 line card | 11.3R2 |
EX6200-48F | 48-port SFP line card | 13.2X50-D10 |
Ensure that all of the line cards in a switch are supported in the Junos OS release that you want to use.
48-Port RJ-45 Line Card in an EX6200 Switch
The line cards in EX6200 switches combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet interfaces on a single assembly. They are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. See Slot Numbering for an EX6210 Switch. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions. See Figure 1.

Line Card Models
Table 2 shows the model number, description of the line card model, and the Junos OS release in which the model was released.

Model | Description | Junos OS Release Required |
---|---|---|
EX6200-48T | 48-port RJ-45 line card | 11.3R2 or later |
Line Card Components
The 48-port RJ-45 line card (see Figure 1) has:
Forty-eight 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 ports
Line Card LEDs—Two status LEDs labeled ON and ST on the faceplate that indicate the online and status information for the line card. See Line Card LEDs in an EX6200 Switch.
Network port LEDs—Two LEDs per network port that indicate the link/activity and status of each port. See Network Port LEDs in an EX6200 Switch.
