SUMMIT SWITCH HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE XI
Preface
This Preface provides an overview of this guide, describes guide conventions, and lists
other publications that may be useful.
INTRODUCTION
This guide provides the required information to install the Summit™switch.
This guide is intended for use by network administrators who are responsible for
installing and setting up network equipment. It assumes a basic working knowledge of
•Local Area Networks (LANs)
•Ethernet concepts
•Ethernet switching and bridging concepts
•Routing concepts
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
For information on configuring the Summit switch, refer to the ExtremeWare Software
User Guide.
If the information in the “Release Notes” shipped with your switch differs from the
information in this guide, follow the “Release Notes.”

Icon Notice Type Alerts you to...
Note Important features or instructions.
Caution Risk of personal injury, system damage,
or loss of data.
Warning Risk of severe personal injury.
Table 2: Text Conventions
Convention Description
Screen displays This typeface represents information as it appears on the screen,
or command syntax.
Screen displays bold This typeface represents commands that you type.
The words “enter”
and “type” 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].

SUMMIT SWITCH OVERVIEW
SUMMARY OF FEATURES
Summit switches support the following ExtremeWare features:
•Virtual local area networks (VLANs) including support for IEEE 802.1Q and IEEE
802.1p
•Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) (IEEE 802.1D) with multiple STP domains
•Policy-Based Quality of Service (PB-QoS)
•Wire-speed Internet Protocol (IP) routing
•IP Multinetting
•DHCP/BOOTP Relay
•Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version 1 and RIP version 2
•Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol
•Wire-speed IP multicast routing support
•IGMP snooping to control IP multicast traffic
•Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP)
•Protocol Independent Multicast-Dense Mode (PIM-DM)
•IPX, IPX/RIP, and IPX/SAP support
•Load sharing on multiple ports
•Console command-line interface (CLI) connection
•Telnet CLI connection
•ExtremeWare Vista Web-based management interface
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support
•Remote Monitoring (RMON)
•Traffic mirroring for all ports
MEMORY REQUIREMENTS
Your Summit switch must have 32MB 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 32MB. Some earlier models
of the Summit switch shipped with 16MB, and must be upgraded to support
ExtremeWare version 4.0 and above.

Summit Switch Hardware Installation Guide 1-3
MEMORY REQUIREMENTS
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 850nm duplex SC connectors
•1000BASE-LX ports using 1300nm duplex SC connectors
•1000BASE-SX 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 1300nm duplex SC connectors
•100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports using RJ-45 connectors
Table 1-1 describes port configurations available on the different Summit switch models.

SUMMIT SWITCH OVERVIEW
The Summit7i switch can be purchased with either 28 1000BASE-SX ports or 28
100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports.

MEMORY REQUIREMENTS
*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.
Table 1-3 describes the specifications for the 1000BASE-LX70 interface.
*The transmitter output power level for the 1000BASE-LX70 is +5dBm. The maximum allowable receiver input power level is
-3dBm. Therefore, there is a minimum of 8dB loss required for the link to operate without errors. This minimum required loss
can be achieved using a fiber length of 32km (0.25dB/km provides 8dB loss), or by adding 10dB of fixed optical attenuator at
the receiver end.

SUMMIT SWITCH OVERVIEW
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.
