Summit X450e Series—Page 3

The Summit X450e series provides ideal 
performance and functionalities for access 
switches. They eliminate the need to funnel 
traffic through a low bandwidth gigabit 
trunk by providing non-blocking 10 gigabit 
links to the core. As an option module, 
Summit X450e provides a variety of choices 
for 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, dual port 
10GBASE-T for UTP connectivity, dual port 
SFP+ for fiber and passive copper connectiv-
ity, dual port XFP and dual port XENPAK. 

Summit X450e switches provide eight 
hardware queues per port to support 
granular traffic classification with 
bandwidth allocation. 1024 centralized 
classifiers per 24 ports can use information 
from Layers 1 through 4 to prioritize and 
meter incoming packets at line-rate. When 
metering traffic, the switches can drop 
out-of-spec traffic or flag it for later action. 
To expedite upstream traffic handling, a 
packet’s classification can be carried forward 
with Layer 2 (802.1p) and Layer 3 (DiffServ) 
markings. Summit X450e switches 
provide advanced traffic management 
features that support the highest-quality 
triple play of voice, video and data services.    

Summit X450e switches set the stage for 
convergence applications by allowing 
enterprises to add new access devices in a 
plug-and-play fashion. Voice and wireless 
services can be easily implemented without 
major network upgrades. Summit X450e 
supports automatic provisioning of  VoIP 
using LLDP and event-based command 
scripting capability. It allows dynamic 
configuration of voice VLANs and QoS. This 
auto-configuration capability allows you to 
configure VoIP phone settings such as voice 
VLAN settings, call server IP address 
configuration, etc. This level of simplicity 
in managing network changes can greatly 
reduce operating expenses. 

 

Deployments of IP Telephony depend on 
reliable, consistent power from the Ethernet 
jack. Summit X450e 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 X450e, 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, backed up 
100% by the optional EPS-500 redundant 
power supply (Summit X450e-24p).  
Summit X450e-48p can provide up to 370W 
of PoE power and can be increased up to 
740W of PoE power to support full 15.4W 
Class 3 devices on all 48 ports by adding 
the External Power System (EPS-C and 
EPS-600LS).   

Summit X450e 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 Summit X450e.

Summit X450e switches offer universal 
connectivity with high-performance gigabit 
to the desktop, PoE and wireless support from 
every RJ-45 port. Installing universal services 
ports everywhere for data and device power 
greatly simplifies installations and moves, 
and helps to future-proof your edge network. 
Summit X450e provides universal attachment 
at any desktop Ethernet speed, and any 
power level from none to full 15.4 Watts. 

Summit X450e switches support compre-
hensive network management through 
Command Line Interface (CLI), SNMP v1, 
v2c, v3, and an embedded XML-based Web 
User Interface, ExtremeXOS ScreenPlay

With a variety of management options and 
consistency across other Extreme Networks 
modular and stackable switches, Summit X450e 
series switches provide ease of management 
for demanding converged applications.  

Extreme Networks has developed tools that

Summit X450e switches support advanced 
protocols for an efficient and productive 
network. Summit X450e switches provide 
static and RIP routing for simple IPv4 and 
IPv6 Layer 3 deployment. An optional 
ExtremeXOS Advanced Edge license 
extends the feature set to include other 
important edge functions such as: 

•  Edge OSPF for much greater extensi-

bility than RIP can provide 

•  Edge PIM sparse modes for routing of 

multicast streams 

•  Policy-based routing 
•  sFlow
