Do the Juniper EX switches support MPLS? I know they have models with
multiple 10G ports on them.

They do, but (deliberately) broken. I wouldn't try it.

EX4600 does MPLS just fine, nothing else really does in the EX
series.. EX4200 can do 1 label. The EX4600 featureset is pretty much
the same as QFX5100 in addition to supporting MACSEC.

 There is also the QFX series.

Not that I know of, but the ACX is a QFX-derivative (Broadcom chipset,
approach with caution).

QFX5100 works fine for MPLS.. ACX5k is QFX5100 hardware, but a
different train of software, and it's a bit different. QFX5100 is a
great P and lightweight PE..
