About This Guide
This guide describes how to prepare your site and how to install, maintain, and operate your Extreme
Networks switch. It contains information on features that are common to all switches, as well as
switch-specific features. This guide contains seven parts:
•Common Features—Describes features that are shared by the Extreme Networks family of switches.
This section describes software images, full-duplex support, management ports, mini-GBIC and
GBIC modules and their installation.
•Site Planning—Describes how to evaluate, plan, and determine the location of your Extreme
Networks switch.
•Summit Switch—Describes the features that are specific to the Summit switch. This section provides
an overview of the Summit switch, information about model types, summary of features, and
installation guidelines.
•Alpine Switch—Describes the features that are specific to the Alpine switch. This section provides an
overview of the Alpine switch, information about model types, a summary of features, and
installation guidelines.
•BlackDiamond Switch—Describes the features that are specific to the BlackDiamond switch. This
section provides an overview of the BlackDiamond switch, information about model types, a
summary of features, and installation guidelines.
•Switch Operation—Describes how to power on any Extreme Networks switch, verify the switch
installation, connect equipment to the console port, and log in to the switch for the first time.
•Appendixes—Includes information about safety requirements and technical specifications.
How To Use This Guide
Each chapter of this guide contains information on how to successfully operate your Extreme Networks
switch. The Summit-, Alpine-, and BlackDiamond-specific chapters contain information that is
applicable to that family of switch only. All other chapters are applicable to any Extreme Networks
switch.

16 Extreme Networks Consolidated Hardware Guide
Preface
Switch-Specific Information
For switch-specific information, be sure to read the applicable switch-specific chapter. For example, if
you have a BlackDiamond switch and you need to remove and replace an I/O module, see “Removing
I/O Modules”in Chapter 16 for details about how to remove and replace an I/O module in a
BlackDiamond chassis.
Common Information
For items applicable to any Extreme Networks switch, make sure you read the appropriate chapter. For
example, to learn how to prepare your site for installing your Extreme Networks equipment, see
Chapter 2, “Site Preparation.”
This guide also contains appendices that describe:
•Switch safety issues
•Switch specifications
•Module specifications
Appendix A, “Safety Information”describes important safety issues such as power, power cables, and
fuses.
Appendix B, “Switch Technical Specifications”is organized according to the family of switch: Summit,
Alpine, and BlackDiamond. This appendix describes switch specifications such as physical dimensions,
weight, certifications, and power supply parameters.
Information that is common to all switches is described at the end of the appendix.
Appendix C, “Module Technical Specifications”is organized according to the family of switch and
modules available for that switch, and describes module specifications such as physical dimensions,
weight, and standards.
Information that is common to all modules is described at the end of the appendix.

1Summary of Common Switch Features
This chapter describes the features that are shared in common by the Extreme Networks family of
switches. The following topics are described in greater detail:
•Software Images on page 19
•Full-Duplex Support on page 20
•Management Ports on page 20
•Mini-GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support on page 20
•GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support on page 24
Software Images
When you receive a new Extreme Networks switch, be aware that an the ExtremeWare®software image
and a BootROM image has been preinstalled at the factory. To verify the software image you are
running on your switch, use the show version command. The show version command displays the
hardware and software versions currently running on the switch. To ensure that you have the latest
software and BootROM image, go to the support login portion of the Tech Support page at:
http://www.extremenetworks.com/services/
If your switch is running ExtremeWare version 6.2 or later, the Power LED activity is different from
previous versions of ExtremeWare. All other LED activity is the same. See Table 3 for more information
about the Power LED activity on switches running ExtremeWare version 6.2 or later.
NOTE
If the information in the Release Notes that shipped with your switch differs from the information in this
guide, follow the Release Notes.

Summary of Common Switch Features
Full-Duplex Support
Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. This means that frames can be
transmitted and received simultaneously, which, in effect, doubles the bandwidth that is available on a
link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch autonegotiate for half-duplex or full-duplex operation.
Gigabit Ethernet and 100BASE-FX ports operate in full-duplex mode only in accordance with technical
standards.
Management Ports
The 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet management port allows you to communicate directly to the CPU of the
switch. You can plug an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop into the management port. This
provides you with direct access into the switch and allows you to view and locally manage the switch
configurations.
Do not assign an in-band IP address to the management port VLAN. The management port VLAN is an
out-of-band VLAN, so if it is assigned an in-band IP address (an address where the source and
destination are in the same subnet), the switch will treat it as a normal VLAN and attempt to route
traffic through it.
The management port is located on the following Extreme Networks devices:
•Summit5i—The management port is located on the back side of the switch
•Summit7i—The management port is located on the front side of the switch
•Alpine—Switch Management Module (SMMi) for the Alpine series switch
•BlackDiamond—Management Switch Fabric Module (MSM64i) for the BlackDiamond series switch
Extreme Networks does not recommend that you use the management port to route traffic to any front
panel port on the switch. The management port is designed for switch management purposes.
Mini-GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support
The Summit48si, Summit24e3 and Summit series switches, the BlackDiamond G16X3module, and the
Alpine GM-16X3module support the small form pluggable (SFP) GBIC, also known as the mini-GBIC.
The switches and the modules identify the type of mini-GBIC that is installed and verifies that the
mini-GBIC is an Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC.
Mini-GBIC Types and Specifications
There are three types of mini-GBIC interfaces:
•SX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the 1000BASE-SX standard
•LX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the 1000BASE-LX standard
•ZX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the IEEE 802.3z standard
Use only Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBICs, available from Extreme Networks, into the
mini-GBIC port in the switch or module.
