Ease of Management Supporting Rapid Network Deployment

ReachNXT 100-8t is a 10/100BASE-T port extender that can aggregate traffic from a small department, multiple stand-alone devices, or similar applications. ReachNXT 100-8t connects to an upstream ExtremeXOS switch via plug-and-play, providing a consistent user experience from core to edge to access of the network. The auto-discovery function allows the ReachNXT 100-8t and the ExtremeXOS switch to recognize each other and appear in Ridgeline™ network and service management. Key features and benefits include:

  • Ease of management and operations lower network costs
  • Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) simplifies deployment, troubleshooting and firmware management
  • Kensington slot for physical security

Ease of Management Supporting
