Overview of the Summit Switches
The Summit family switches are compact enclosures 1.75 inches high (1 U). They provide 24 or 48
high-density copper or fiber optic ports operating at speeds up to 10 Gbps, with combination
copper/fiber uplink ports. PoE connections and options for adding 10-Gbps or 100 Gbps uplink
connections are available on some models. Many Summit switches include high-speed stacking
interfaces that allow you to connect up to eight Summit switches into a single SummitStack™
management entity. Summit models are available for AC or DC power connection; all Summit switches
make provision for redundant power supplies. Most models have connections for optional external
redundant power supplies; the Summit X650 series switches provide two bays for pluggable power
supplies.
Most Summit models are available in versions that are compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA);
these versions are identified by a -TAA suffix on the model number. Functionally, the TAA-compliant
models are completely equivalent to the matching versions that are not TAA-compliant. In all feature
descriptions, references to a specific Summit switch model also apply to the equivalent TAA-compliant
model.
Table 3 and Table 4 on page 16 list the Summit switch series and summarize the features available in
each series.

NOTE
See the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide for feature-specific
information about the Summit switches and for information regarding switch configuration.
Combination Ports and Failover
Summit family switches provide two or four uplink ports implemented as combination ports that pair a
copper port using RJ-45 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.
Summit family 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 RJ-45 and SFP interfaces
of that port.

Gigabit Ethernet uplink redundancy on the Summit family 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 25 and 26 on a Summit XX250e-24t switch, and then insert SFPs into ports 25
and 26, the switch assigns the copper ports as active ports and the fiber ports as redundant ports.
Hardware determines when a link is lost and swaps the primary and redundant ports to maintain
stability. After a failover occurs, the switch keeps the current port assignment until another failure
occurs or a user changes the assignment using the CLI. For more information about configuring
automatic failover on combination ports, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.
Summit X150 Series Switches
The Summit X150 series switches provide 24 or 48 fixed 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports that deliver
high-density copper connectivity for 2.4 Gbps or 4.8 Gbps. Models are available with PoE and without
PoE. Each Summit X150 series switch has two combination ports that provide 10/100/1000 BASE-T or
SFP connectivity for 2 Gbps of copper or fiber connectivity. A serial console port on the front panel
allows you to connect a terminal and perform local management. On the back of the switch, 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 of the switch provides an AC power input socket and a redundant power connector. The
internal power supply operates from 100 VAC to 240 VAC. The switch automatically adjusts to the
supply voltage. The redundant power connector allows you to connect the switch to the EPS-160 or
EPS-500 external power supply. When a compatible external power supply is used with the Summit
X150 series switch, the internal and external power supplies are fully fault tolerant and load-sharing.
If one power supply fails, the other power supply will provide sufficient power to operate the switch.
The Summit X150e series switches include the following switches:
●Summit X150-24t Switch
●Summit X150-24t-TAA Switch
●Summit X150-24p Switch
●Summit X150-24p-TAA Switch
●Summit X150-48t Switch
●Summit X150-48t-TAA Switch
NOTE
In the descriptions that follow, references to a Summit X150 series model number also apply to the equivalent
TAA-compliant switch version.

Summit X150-24t Switch
The front panel of the Summit X150-24t switch (Figure 1) includes:
●Twenty-four fixed autosensing 10/100BASE-T ports (ports 1–24) that provide 2.4 Gbps of
high-density copper connectivity
●Two combination ports (ports 25–26) using RJ-45 connectors and SFPs to provide 2 Gbps of copper
or fiber connectivity
For information about SFPs, see the Extreme Networks Pluggable Interface Modules Installation Guide.
●LEDs to indicate port status and switch operating conditions.
For a description of the LEDs and their operation, see “Summit X150 Series Switch LEDs” on
page 22.
●Serial console port used to connect a terminal and perform local management.
