Pluggable Interfaces for the Switches
The ExtremeSwitching switches are compact enclosures 1.75 inches high (1 U). Each switch model
provides high-density copper or fiber optic ports operating at speeds up to 100 Gbps. On some models,
these ports can be partitioned into data lanes through the use of split cables, eectively increasing the
port count. Many models also provide combination copper/fiber uplink ports. PoE connections and
options for adding faster uplink connections are available on some models.
Models are available for AC or DC power connection, and many models provide bays for pluggable
power supplies. All switches make provision for redundant power supplies.
Many ExtremeSwitching switches include high-speed stacking interfaces that allow you to connect up
to eight switches into a stack, which can be managed as a single entity.
For information about earlier Summit-branded switches, refer to ExtremeSwitching and Summit
Switches: Hardware Installation Guide for Switches Using ExtremeXOS 16 or Earlier.

Overview of the Switches
The following sections describe the ExtremeSwitching switches and summarize the features available in
each series.
Model numbers for the switches are in the following format:
<Series>-<number of front-panel I/O ports><port type><internal power supply type>
•The number of ports ranges from 8 to 72.
•The port type can be t (copper), p (copper providing PoE), q (QSFP+), or x (fiber).
•For models with integral power supplies, the power supply type can be AC (no designation) or DC.
Models with pluggable power supplies can accommodate either AC or DC supplies and have no
power designation in their model numbers.
Note
See the ExtremeXOS 22.6 User Guide and the ExtremeXOS 22.6 Command Reference Guide
for feature-specific information about the Summit switches and for information regarding
switch configuration.
Combination Ports and Failover
ExtremeSwitching switches provide 2, 4, or 12 uplink ports implemented as combination ports that pair
a copper port using RJ45 connectors with an optical port using LC connectors.
The copper port operates as an autonegotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T port. The optical port allows
Gigabit Ethernet uplink connections through Extreme Networks small form factor pluggable (SFP)
interface modules. See the individual switch descriptions for the port numbers of the combination ports
on each switch model.
ExtremeSwitching switches support automatic failover from an active fiber port to a copper backup or
from an active copper port to a fiber port. If one of the uplink connections fails, the Summit uplink
connection automatically fails over to the second connection. To set up a redundant link on a
combination port, connect the active 1000BASE-T and fiber links to both the RJ45 and SFP interfaces
of that port.
Gigabit Ethernet uplink redundancy on the ExtremeSwitching switches follows these rules:
•With both the SFP and 1000BASE-T interfaces connected on a combination port, only one interface
can be activated. The other is inactive.
•If only one interface is connected, the switch activates the connected interface.
•The switch determines whether the port uses the fiber or copper connection based on the order in
which the connectors are inserted into the switch. When the switch senses that an SFP and a copper
connector are inserted, the switch enables the uplink redundancy feature. For example, if you first
connect copper ports xand yon a switch, and then insert SFPs into ports xand y, the switch
assigns the copper ports as active ports and the fiber ports as redundant ports.
Hardware identifies when a link is lost and responds by swapping the primary and redundant ports to
maintain stability. After a failover occurs, the switch keeps the current port assignment until another
ExtremeSwitching Switches
ExtremeSwitching and Summit Switches: Hardware Installation Guide 11

failure occurs or a user changes the assignment using the CLI. For more information about configuring
automatic failover on combination ports, see the ExtremeXOS 22.6 User Guide.
Port Partitioning
On some ExtremeSwitching switch models, you can configure QSFP28 and QSFP+ ports either as single
ports or as multiple, partitioned ports. In a partitioned port, with appropriate cabling, the original
physical port can accommodate multiple data lanes at lower bandwidths.
The following partitioning options are available:

10/100/1000BASE-T ports or 100/1000 BASE-X ports. In addition, some models oer IEEE 802.3at PoE
+ ports.
Note
An extended-temperature model, 24fx-GE4, provides 24 ports of 100Base-FX. Another
extended-temperature model, 12t8fx-GE4, provides 12 ports of 10/100/1000BASE-T and eight
ports of 100Base-FX.
The ExtremeSwitching X440-G2 series switches include the following base models:
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-12t-10GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-12p-10GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-24t-10GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-24x-10GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-24p-10GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-48t-10GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-48p-10GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-24t-10GE4-DC switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-48t-10GE4-DC switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-12t8fx-GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-24fx-GE4 switch
•ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-24t-GE4 switch
Most X440-G2 switches support both half-duplex and full-duplex communication over
10/100/1000BASE-T ports. For details, see the "Switch Ports and Slots" topics for the individual base
models.
All models come equipped with four ports of SFP 1 GbE resident on either the faceplate or rear panel.
On the 12-port, 24-port, and 48-port 10/100/1000 models, except for the extended-temperature
models, these 1 GbE ports can be upgraded to 10 Gb SFP+ Ethernet through software licensing. The 24-
and 48-port 10/100/1000 models (except the X440-G2-24t-GE4) have four 1 GbE SFP combination
ports on the front panel.
ExtremeSwitching X440-G2 series switches require ExtremeXOS version 21.1.1 or later.
Security
These switches provide comprehensive security management:
•User policy and host integrity enforcement, and identity management
•Universal Port Dynamic Security Profiles to provide fine granular security policies in the network
•Threat detection and response instrumentation to react to network intrusion with CLEAR-Flow
Security Rules Engine
•Denial of Service (DoS) protection and IP security against man-in-the-middle and DoS attacks to
harden the network infrastructure
ExtremeSwitching Switches
ExtremeSwitching and Summit Switches: Hardware Installation Guide 13

Stacking
Up to eight X440-G2 switches can be stacked using SummitStack-V. Each X440-G2 unit (except the
extended temperature range switches) comes equipped with two stacking ports using an SFP+
interface. Standard 10 Gb Ethernet Optics and passive and active cables can be used in the SFP+ ports
for stacking X440-G2s together using SummitStack-V.
ExtremeXOS supports the SummitStack-V capability using two SFP+ ports as stacking ports, enabling
the use of standard cabling and optics technologies used for 10 GbE SFP+. SummitStack-V provides
long-distance stacking connectivity of up to 40 km while reducing the cable complexity of
implementing a stacking solution. For a list of X440-G2 ports that can be used with SummitStack-V, see
X440-G2 Stacking on page 151.
On X440-G2 switches, SummitStack-V is compatible with X450-G2 and X460-G2 switches with 10 Gb
uplinks and with X770, X620, and X670-G2 switches running the same version of ExtremeXOS.
SummitStack-V enabled 10 GbE ports must be physically direct-connected.
Note
The SFP+ stacking ports on the base X440-G2 switches are 1 Gb Ethernet ports, not 10 Gb
Ethernet ports. The switches run a 10 Gb stacking protocol by default, but they do not run the
10 Gb Ethernet protocol without licensed entitlement. Two- and four-port licenses are
available to enable the ports to run the 10 Gb Ethernet protocol.
Note
SummitStack-V is not supported on the following extended temperature range switch
models:
•X440-G2-12t8fx-GE4
•X440-G2-24fx-GE4
•X440-G2-24t-GE4
Operating Temperatures
Most X440-G2 switch models support an operating range from 0°C to 50°C. The following models
extend the operating range from 0°C to 60°C:
•X440-G2-12t8fx-GE4
•X440-G2-24fx-GE4
•X440-G2-24t-GE4
Additional Features
For all models, a serial console port on the front panel allows you to connect a terminal and perform
local management. An Ethernet management port can be used to connect the system to a parallel
management network for administration. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect this
port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch configurations.
The rear panel provides an AC power input socket or DC input connector, along with a redundant power
connector. The switch automatically adjusts to the supply voltage. The redundant power connector
allows you to connect the switch to either a standalone external redundant power supply or the EPS-C2
external power system. When a compatible external power supply is used with the ExtremeSwitching
ExtremeSwitching Switches
ExtremeSwitching and Summit Switches: Hardware Installation Guide 14

X440-G2 switch, the internal and external power supplies are fully fault tolerant. If one power supply
fails, the other power supply will provide sucient power to operate the switch.
All X440-G2 switches support external redundant power options. For details, refer to Table 30 on page
93.

The ExtremeSwitching X440-G2-12t-10GE4 switch ports and slots include:
•12 front panel 10/100/1000BASE-T ports (RJ45), all of which support both half-duplex and full-
duplex communication.
•Four unpopulated 1GBASE-X SFP+ ports that can be used as either 1Gb ports or 10Gb ports, where
the 10Gb configuration requires an upgrade through additional licensing.
Alternately, you can convert two of the ports to stacking ports using the enable stacking-
support command. Doing so would provide you with the option of two 1Gb ports and two stack
ports or two 10Gb ports and two stack ports. In the latter configuration, an additional license would
be required for the 10Gb non-stacking ports.
•Ethernet management port (10/100/1000BASE-T).
•Serial console port implemented as an RJ45 connector used to connect a terminal and perform local
management.
•One front panel USB 2.0 port, operational on switches running ExtremeXOS version 22.2 or later.
•One rear redundant power supply connector (coaxial barrel connector).
