[j-nsp] Viability of EX4300 in a primarily l3 environment?

[Giuliano Cardozo Medalha]

we are using ex4300 with the last release available

the setup is pretty simple using virtual chassis, lag, L3 and poe

it works pretty fine and we do not have any serious problems

sometimes the poe controller goes down but we have a case oppened in jtac to try solve it
