Efficient Management to Handle
Convergence-Driven Network
Changes
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Deployments of IP Telephony depend on reliable, consistent
power from the Ethernet jack. Summit X150-24p is the basis for
a reliable LAN Telephony infrastructure with fully redundant
15.4 watts per port, and QoS and resiliency to match the
failover requirements for latency-sensitive services like VoIP
phones. With Summit X150, deployment of powered LAN
devices is quick and easy with its support of the IEEE 802.3af
standard and full Class 3 power availability on all ports
(Summit X150-24p), backed up 100% by the EPS-500
redundant power supply.

Voice Grade Connections
Granular QoS, low latency and low jitter provide voice-
quality connections. Summit X150 supports a range of QoS
technologies that can prioritize and predictably handle high
priority traffic policing or rate limiting on ingress, 802.1Q
tagging and Diffserv marking, and shaping on egress with eight
queues per port. The Extreme Networks tradition of building
products with low latency and jitter continues with the Summit
X150 series.

Comprehensive Network Management
As the network becomes a foundation of the enterprise
application, network management becomes an important
piece of the solution. Summit X150 supports comprehensive
network management through Command Line Interface (CLI),
SNMP v1, v2c, v3 and the embedded XML-based Web User
Interface, ExtremeXOS ScreenPlay™. With a variety of
management options and consistency across other Extreme
Networks modular and fixed configuration switches, Summit
X150 series switches provide ease of management for
demanding applications.

Extreme Networks has developed tools that simplify and help
in efficiently managing your network. Ridgeline™ network and
service management provides fault, configuration, accounting,
performance and security functions, allowing more effective
management of Extreme Networks products, solutions and
third-party devices, in a converged network.

Single Streamlined Operating System
in the Entire Enterprise Network
Extreme Networks provides an ExtremeXOS-based Ethernet
switching platform from edge, to aggregation, to core of the
enterprise network. Having one operating system can help
simplify network deployment and operation, as well as ongoing
maintenance, to reduce the total cost of ownership. Summit X150
running the ExtremeXOS operating system in the network,
provides a consistent experience among other switches such as
the BlackDiamond® modular chassis, and an excellent user
experience from edge to core.

Network Configuration Automation
ExtremeXOS provides extensible scripting capability that allows
users to create a customized series of commands and
executables. Scripting can be used to add incremental
configuration to the network infrastructure, such as a list of
VLANs to be configured. This capability eases the rollout of
networks and reduces configuration errors. For example, using
the scripting capabilities of system- and user-defined
environment variables and constructs, such as if/then and loops,
allows automating regular management tasks and deployment
configurations of QoS rate limiting and ACLs to multiple ports or
multiple switches.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
and LLDP-Media Endpoint Discovery
(LLDP-MED)
ExtremeXOS supports IEEE 802.1ab standards-based discovery
protocol and provides vendor-independent device discovery.
It also provides tight integration with VoIP infrastructure and
phones, including E911 ECS location, inventory information and
fine-grained PoE budgeting and configuration of information
such as VLANs and QoS tagging.

LLDP not only simplifies deployment and location of access
devices, but can also be used as a troubleshooting and firmware
management tool. LLDP is an extensible standard, providing a
framework for industry consortiums to define application-specific
extensions without causing compatibility issues. The ANSI/
TIA-1057 LLDP-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) standard
defines extensions specifically for VoIP. These extensions provide
VoIP-specific information as well as allow transmission of
configuration and location information to VoIP phones.
