Product description
The Summit X460-G2 can also be used as a top-of-rack switch for many data center environments with features such as high-density Gigabit Ethernet for concentrated data center environments; XNV (ExtremeXOS Network Virtualization) for centralized network-based Virtual Machine (VM) inventory, VMlocation history and VM provisioning; direct attach to offload VM switching from servers, thereby improving performance; high-capacity layer 2/layer 3 scalability for highly virtualized data centers; and intra-rack and cross-rack stacking withindustry-leading flexibility.
Product features
- Comprehensive security management
Universal port dynamic security profiles can provide fine granular security policies in the network. Threat detection and response instrumentation can react to network intrusion with clear-flow security Rules Engine. Denial of Service (DoS) protection and IP security are against man-in-the-middle and DoS attacks to harden the network infrastructure. - Flexible port configuration
Summit X460-G2 offers flexible port configurations. For Summit X460-G2 24port copper models with 10 Gb uplinks with four dedicated Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports and four shared Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports, the switch can have up to 8fiber GbE ports, while still providing 20 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (PoE-plus or non-PoE). The Summit X460-G2 24 port copper models with 1 Gb uplinks can provide up to 12 SFP ports with 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports or eight SFP ports with24 copper GbE ports. - High-performance stacking
Up to eight Summit X460-G2 switches can be stacked using three different methods of stacking: SummitStack, SummitStack-V, and SummitStack-V160. - Intelligent switching and MPLS/H-VPLS support
Summit X460-G2 supports sophisticated and intelligent layer 2 switching, as well as layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing including policy-based switching/routing, Provider bridges, bidirectional ingress and egress access control lists, and bandwidthcontrol by 8 Kbps granularity both for ingress and egress. - IEEE 802.3at PoE-plus
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet has been widely used in the campus enterpriseedge network for Ethernet-powered devices such as wireless access points, Voiceover IP phones, and security cameras. Ethernet port extenders such as Extreme Networks ReachNXT 100-8t can also utilize PoE, making installation and management easier and reducing maintenance costs. The newer IEEE 802.3at PoE-plus standard expands upon Power over Ethernet by increasing the power limit up to 30 watts, and by standardizing power negotiation by using LLDP. SummitX460-G2 supports IEEE 802.3at PoE-plus and supports standards-compliant PoE devices today and into the future. - 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
Summit X460-G2 offers Boundary Clock (BC), Transparent Clock (TC), andOrdinary Clock (OC) for synchronizing phase and frequency and allowing thenetwork and the connected devices to be synchronized down to microseconds of accuracy over Ethernet connection. - Audio Video Bridging (AVB)
The X460-G2 series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging to enable reliable, real-time audio/video transmission over Ethernet. AVB technology delivers thequality of service required for today's high-definition and time-sensitive multimedia streams.
