Extreme Networks Summit X460 Series Stackable Switches

The Extreme Networks Summit X460 Series is a highly versatile stackable switch designed for enterprise edge, aggregation, and carrier Ethernet deployments. It offers core-class intelligence and high-density Gigabit Ethernet in a 1RU form factor, delivering wire-speed performance across all ports.

The X460 stands out with its exceptional stacking capabilities. While traditional stacking is limited by cable length, the SummitStack-V technology enables stacking over standard 10GbE interfaces, allowing switches to be linked up to 40km apart. Combined with its carrier-grade features like MPLS/H-VPLS and ExtremeXOS modular OS, the Summit X460 provides a seamless, high-availability network environment from the data center to the network edge.

Key Specifications:

• Port Density: Up to 52 GbE ports per unit; up to 384 ports per stack.

• Stacking Options: SummitStack (40G), SummitStack-V80 (80G), and long-distance SummitStack-V.

• Carrier Ethernet: Full support for MPLS LSP forwarding and Provider Bridging (802.1ad).

• Power over Ethernet: High-budget PoE+ support for powering VoIP, APs, and cameras.

• Security: Inbound/outbound ACLs and policy-based switching for robust protection.
