Beware if you want to use IPv6 layer 3 functionality (OSPFv3) on Juniper
EX switches.  You'll need the EX-48-AFL license which lists at US$6000,
which is amazingly extortionate considering that the switch hardware
plus the JUNOS base licence (which includes OSPFv2) lists at US$5400.

If I only had a penny for every time I've bitched about this...

BTW only the DC models of the EX 3200 have no PoE.  However you can
easily disable it in the configuration file.
