Summit X460-G2 Series
Summit X460-G2 series – the scalable advanced aggregation and edge switch with the revolutionary ExtremeXOS modular operating system.
The Summit X460-G2 series is based on Extreme Networks revolutionary ExtremeXOS, a highly resilient OS that provides continuous uptime, manageability, and operational efficiency. Each switch offers the same high-performance, non-blocking hardware technology, in the Extreme Networks tradition of simplifying network deployments through the use of common hardware and software throughout the network.
The Summit X460-G2 switches are effective campus-edge switches with IEEE 802.3at PoE-plus and can also serve as aggregation switches for traditional enterprise networks. The Summit X460-G2 series is also an option for DSLAM or CMTS aggregation, or for active Ethernet access.
The Summit X460-G2 can also be used as a top-of-rack switch for many data center environments with features such as high-density Gigabit Ethernet for concentrated data center environments; XNV™ (ExtremeXOS Network Virtualization) for centralized network-based Virtual Machine (VM) inventory, VM location history, and VM provisioning; Direct Attach™ to offload VM switching from servers, thereby improving performance; high-capacity Layer 2/Layer 3 scalability for highly virtualized data centers; and intra-rack and cross-rack stacking with industry-leading flexibility.
High-Performance and Highly Scalable Switching and Routing
Summit X460-G2 offers core-class intelligent switching and routing with exceptional port density and high-performance stacking technology powered by the ExtremeXOS modular operating system.
High Density, Small Form Factor
Extreme Networks Summit X460-G2 provides high density for Gigabit Ethernet in a very small 1RU form factor for up to 52 ports in one system. For emerging demands from data, storage, voice, and data convergence, Summit X460-G2 provides highly scalable Layer 2/3 switching and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)/Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (H-VPLS). Summit X460 switches also support Provider Bridges (PB, IEEE 802.1ad).
Flexible Port Configuration
The Summit X460-G2 offers flexible port configurations. For Summit X460-G2 24 port copper models with 10Gb uplinks with four dedicated Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports and four shared Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports, the switch can have up to 8 fiber GbE ports, while still providing 20 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (PoE-plus or non-PoE). The Summit X460-G2 24 port copper models with 1Gb uplinks can provide up to 12 SFP ports with 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports or eight SFP ports with 24 copper GbE ports.
All X460-G2 models come equipped with either 4 ports of SFP+ 10 GbE or 4 ports of SFP 1GbE resident on the faceplate of each model. Through an optional VIM slot, Summit X460-G2 switches can be equipped with an additional 2 ports of 10 GbE for a total of six 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the 10Gb uplink models. As another option, each unit can be equipped with 2 ports of QSFP+ 40 Gigabit Ethernet for uplinks or stacking.
High Availability and Simplicity
Summit X460-G2 enables enterprise campus, data center, and Carrier Ethernet edge, aggregation and core backbone deployment in AC-powered and DC-powered environments. Summit X460-G2 simplifies network operation with ExtremeXOS modular OS, available across Extreme Networks Ethernet switches. The ExtremeXOS operating system provides high availability and simplicity with one OS everywhere in the network.
1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
The Summit X460-G2 series offers optional Boundary Clock (BC), Transparent Clock (TC), and Ordinary Clock (OC) for synchronizing phase and frequency and allowing the network and the connected devices to be synchronized down to microseconds of accuracy over Ethernet connection.
Audio Video Bridging (AVB)
The Summit X460-G2 series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging to enable reliable, real-time audio/video transmission over Ethernet. AVB technology delivers the quality of service required for today’s high-definition and time-sensitive multimedia streams.
