Summit X450 Series
Summit X450 Series—Based on the Revolutionary ExtremeXOS™ Core-Class Operating System from Extreme Networks.
The powerful and compact Summit X450 series switches are based on the revolutionary ExtremeXOS core-class operating system (OS) from Extreme Networks. ExtremeXOS is a highly resilient, modular OS that offers high availability and greatly enhances manageability. Summit X450 series switches have the same high-performance, non-blocking hardware technology used on Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8800 series switches, continuing in the Extreme Networks tradition of simplifying network deployments through the use of common hardware and software throughout the network.
The extremely versatile Summit X450 series switches, with high-density gigabit plus optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a compact 1RU format, support a full range of Layer 2 to Layer 4 features on every port to help ensure highest productivity. Summit X450 series switches are available in two versions: fiber to support flexible and convenient modular optics, and copper suitable for local data distribution. Both versions have optional redundant power supplies to help ensure against power anomalies.
ExtremeXOS on Summit X450 switches supports process recovery and application upgrades without the need for a system reboot. Versatile Summit X450 switches, with the high network availability required for converged applications, can be used to connect switches at the aggregation layer or at the core of a small network.
Summit X450 series switches provide a high bandwidth, non-blocking architecture with fiber or tri-speed copper gigabit ports for demanding edge applications. With optional 10 gigabit trunks, a Summit X450 switch connecting to gigabit edge devices can provide a high-performance aggregation layer in a traditional three-tier LAN. Summit X450 supports advanced protocols in the ExtremeXOS core license for an efficient small network core. For metro Ethernet networks, Summit X450 delivers exceptional Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic management capabilities. With superior resiliency, comprehensive security features, and non-blocking performance, Summit X450 series switches are the cornerstone of a high-performance network.
- Advanced routing protocols such OSPF, BGP and multicast for an efficient and productive small network core
- QoS
- Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) resiliency protocol
- Minimized Latency
- Non-Blocking Forwarding
- Threat detection and response instrumentation to react to network intrusion
- Hardened network infrastructure
Summit X450 series switches have 24-port 10/100/1000BASE-T or 24-port 1000BASE-X and 4-port 1000BASE-X SFP or 4-port 10/100/100BASE-T ports. With its tri-speed Gigabit Ethernet interface as well as optional dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Summit X450 provides universal connectivity.
Summit X450 has non-blocking switching fabric and offers wire-speed Layer 2/Layer 3 switching for all ports with QoS and security features such as hardware based Access Control Lists (ACLs). With its rich Layer 2-4 intelligence, Summit X450 meets variety of requirements at the edge of the converged enterprise network as well as aggregation and small core.
- 160 Gbps switch fabric bandwidth, 65 Mpps Layer 2/Layer 3 packet forwarding rate
- Optional dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for redundant uplinks
- 9216 Byte maximum packet size (Jumbo Frame)
- 8 QoS queues/port
- 48 Gbps per slot capacity
- 4096 VLANs (Port, IEEE 802.1Q, MAC-based)
- Hardware-based ACLs
Summit X450 series switches are ideal small network core switches. Their optional 10 gigabit ports are perfect to set up a high bandwidth 10 gigabit backbone, or multiples of gigabit ports can be aggregated for inter-switch connectivity. Critical core protocols are available, even BGPv4 and IPv6. With non-blocking performance, extensive Denial of Service protection, Longest Prefix Match routing, and superior management including sFlow, a Summit X450 series switch is designed from the ground up to be a small core switch.
Summit X450 series switches are ideal service delivery platforms for metro Ethernet networks. Their advanced traffic management, resiliency and scalability features give them the flexibility to be deployed at the Customer Edge (CE) or as an aggregation switch at the Provider Edge (PE). By supporting both CE and PE service delivery requirements, Summit X450 series switches greatly reduce a service provider’s operational expense.
