High-Performance and Highly Scalable Switching and Routing

Summit X480 oers core-class intelligent switching and routing with exceptional port density and high-performance stacking technology powered by the ExtremeXOS modular OS. With its high performance switching and routing, Summit X480 helps enhance the data center, Carrier Ethernet and enterprise aggregation network.

SummitStack – High-Performance Stacking

Summit X480 supports SummitStack, which provides 40 Gbps (VIM2-SummitStack), 80 Gbps (VIM2-SummitStack-V80) or 128 Gbps (VIM2-SummitStack128) of stacking bandwidth. High-speed 128 Gbps stacking is ideal for demanding applications where a high volume of trac traverses through the stacking links, yet bandwidth is not compromised through stacking. High-speed stacking is very useful in applications such as top of rack when stacked with Summit X480 and Summit X650 (requires optional conversion cable) and gigabit aggregation in large enterprise or data center networks. With the longer stacking cables such as 5-meters, stacking can be conﬁgured through dierent racks horizontally in a row (see Figure 3) as opposed to typical stacking system installed vertically in a rack.

SummitStack-V – Flexible Stacking Over 10 Gigabit Ethernet

SummitStack-V capability utilizes 10 GbE ports as stacking ports, enabling the use of standard cabling and optics technologies used for 10 GbE such as XFP, SFP+, 10GBASE-T and XENPAK. SummitStack-V provides long-distance stacking connectivity of up to 40 km while reducing the cable complexity of implementing a stacking solution. SummitStack-V enabled 10 GbE ports must be physically direct-connected. SummitStack-V is compatible with Summit X450e, X450a, X460, X480, X650, X670 and X670V switches running the same version of ExtremeXOS.

Software Deﬁned Networking (SDN)

ExtremeXOS implementations of OpenFlow APIs allow an external OpenFlow-based SDN controller to access and control the forwarding plane of ExtremeXOS network devices. ExtremeXOS-based switches oer a programming interface through OpenFlow to enable high degree of automation in provisioning network services for many upper layer business critical applications running the OpenFlow-based SDN controller.

Extreme XOS-based switches also allow for integration with the OpenStack open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds through the Extreme Networks Quantum plugin. The plugin provides a scalable, automated, rich APIdriven system that enables networking-as-a-service model managing data center interconnect solutions and large multi-tenant networks.

High-Performance Switching and Routing

Summit X480 is available in three dierent port conﬁguration options: 24-port Gigabit Ethernet and 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (Summit X480-24x), 48-port copper Gigabit Ethernet (Summit X480-48t), or 48-port ﬁber Gigabit Ethernet (Summit X480-48x). All front panel ports run at non-blocking, wire-speed performance and can carry wire-rate trac towards the Versatile Interface Module-2 (VIM2) slot. Summit X480 oers ﬂexible conﬁguration by using optional VIM2 modules which are: 4-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module (VIM2-10G4X), 2-port SummitStack Module (VIM2-SummitStack), 2-port SummitStack128 Module (VIM2-SummitStack128) or 2-port SummitStack-V80 Module (VIM2-SummitStack-V80) (see Figure 1: Port conﬁguration options for Summit X480 switches).

Flexible Port Conﬁguration

Summit X480 oers ﬂexible port conﬁgurations from standard conﬁguration to optional VIM2 modules. For Summit X480-24x, half of the Gigabit Ethernet ports can handle dual personality— select from either 10/100/1000BASE-T copper Gigabit Ethernet or 100/1000BASE-X ﬁber Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. In the case of Summit X480-48t, the last four Gigabit Ethernet ports are conﬁgured as dual personality ports to provide ﬂexibility between copper and ﬁber Gigabit Ethernet.

Through the VIM2 slot, Summit X480 can add an additional four 10 Gigabit Ethernet or SummitStack stacking ports. For stacking, depending upon the needs for bandwidth across the units in a stack, Summit X480 supports 40 Gbps SummitStack, 80 Gbps SummitStack-V80 or 128Gbps SummitStack128 through VIM2 option modules (See Figure 2: Summit X480-24x ﬂexible port conﬁguration). A third option, SummitStack-V, utilizes 10 GbE ports as stacking ports.

Summit X480 supports ﬂexible 10 gigabit optical transceivers such as 10GBASE-SR, LR, ER and ZR as well as tunable DWDM. Tunable DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) support allows service providers and others to tune XFP 10 Gigabit Ethernet optics to a speciﬁc frequency, reducing the need for additional ﬁber runs and XFP sparing. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface support allows service providers to monitor and diagnose pluggable optics in real-time.
