Questions Received with Applicant Answers ( Ask Questions? )

Are you adding the Juniper switches to existing Juniper switches? Do you need stacking? What fiber cabling is existing - MMF or SMF? Do you need 1G or 10G transceivers? Do you need 2 transceivers for each site?

Answer:

I did not request transceivers, as I am not entirely sure what I will need.

I will need a module that can handle both 1 gig and 10 gig transceivers that I will supply.

Switches are currently Juniper

EX3400

EX4300MP

In some instances I would be looking to stack. While stacking is preferred it is not a requirement.
