Summit® X460 series – the scalable advanced aggregation  
and edge switch with the revolutionary modular operating  
system, ExtremeXOS®.

The Summit® X460 series is based on Extreme Networks® revolutionary 

ExtremeXOS®, a highly resilient OS that provides continuous uptime, manageability 

and operational efficiency. Each switch offers the same high-performance, non-

blocking hardware technology, in the Extreme Networks tradition of simplifying 

network deployments through the use of common hardware and software 
throughout the network. 

The Summit X460 switches are effective campus edge switches with IEEE 802.3at 

PoE-plus and can also serve as aggregation switches for traditional enterprise 
networks. The Summit X460 series is also an option for DSLAM or CMTS 

aggregation, or for active Ethernet access.

The Summit X460 is 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, VM location 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 with industry-

leading flexibility.
