When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type
something, and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not press
the Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says “type.”
[Key] names Key names appear in text in one of two ways:
■Referred to by their labels, such as “the Return key” or “the
Escape key”
■Written with brackets, such as [Return] or [Esc]
If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key names
are linked with a plus sign (+). Example:
Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del].

Memory Requirements
•Console command-line interface (CLI) connection
•Telnet CLI connection
•SSH2 connection
•ExtremeWare Vista Web-based management interface
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support
•Remote Monitoring (RMON)
Memory Requirements
Your “i” series Summit switch must have 32 MB of DRAM in order to support the
features in ExtremeWare version 4.0 and above. This is not an issue for Summit24 and
Summit48 switch models, and all currently shipping switches contain 32 MB. Some
earlier models of the Summit switch shipped with 16 MB, and must be upgraded to
support ExtremeWare version 4.0 and above.
To determine the memory size in your switch, use the following command:
show memory
For Summit switches running ExtremeWare 4.0 and above, the switch indicates the total
DRAM size in megabytes as part of the output. For Summit switches running previous
ExtremeWare releases, you must calculate the memory by taking the sum of the bytes
listed under current free and adding to it the bytes listed under current alloc. If
the sum is greater than 16,000,000, there is no need to upgrade the memory on the
switch. If this is not the case, please contact your supplier.
Port Connections
The major difference between the models of the Summit switch is the port
configurations on each switch model. Summit switches use a combination of the
following types of ports:
•1000BASE-SX ports using 850 nm duplex SC connectors
•1000BASE-LX ports using 1300 nm duplex SC connectors
•1000BASE-SX ports using MT-RJ connectors
•1000BASE-LX ports using MT-RJ connectors

•Modular 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX using Gigabit Interface Connectors
(GBICs)
•10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports using RJ-45 connectors
•100BASE-FX ports using 1300 nm duplex SC connectors
•100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports using RJ-45 connectors

Media Types and Distances
Table 1-2 describes the media types and distances for the different types of Summit
switch ports.
*Extreme Networks proprietary. Connections between two Extreme Networks 1000BASE-LX interfaces can use a maximum
distance of 10,000 meters. However, it interoperates with standard 1000BASE-LX ports and supports a maximum distance of
5,000 meters.

Summit Switch Overview
Table 1-3 describes the specifications for the 1000BASE-LX70 interface.
*The transmitter output power level for the 1000BASE-LX70 is +5 dBm. The maximum allowable receiver input power level is
-3 dBm. Therefore, there is a minimum of 8 dB loss required for the link to operate without errors. This minimum required loss
can be achieved using a fiber length of 32 km (0.25 dB/km provides 8 dB loss), or by adding 10 dB of fixed optical attenuator
at the receiver end.
Full-Duplex
The Summit switch provides full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex allows
frames to be transmitted and received simultaneously and, in effect, doubles the
bandwidth available on a link. All 10/100/1000 Mbps ports on the Summit switch
autonegotiate for half- or full-duplex operation. Gigabit Ethernet and 100BASE-FX ports
operate in full-duplex mode, only.
