Data Sheet
ExtremeSwitching™ X460-G2 Series
Scalable advanced aggregation switch with ExtremeXOS® modular operating system.
The X460-G2 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 highperformance, 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 X460-G2 switches are effective campus edge switches that support Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE – IEEE 802.3az) with IEEE 802.3at PoEplus and can also serve as aggregation switches for traditional enterprise networks. The X460-G2 series is also an option for DSLAM or CMTS aggregation, or for active Ethernet access.
The X460-G2 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; highcapacity Layer 2/Layer 3 scalability for highly virtualized data centers; and intra-rack and cross-rack stacking with industry leading flexibility.
Comprehensive Security Management
•User policy and host integrity enforcement, and identity management
•Universal Port Dynamic Security Profiles to provide fine granular security policies in the network

•Threat detection and response instrumentation to react to network intrusion with CLEAR-Flow Security Rules Engine
•Denial of Service (DoS) protection and IP security against man-in-the-middle and DoS attacks to harden the network infrastructure
•Role Based Policy enables support for policy profiles to secure and provision network resources based upon the role the user or device plays within the network
Flexible Port Configuration
The X460-G2 offers flexible port configurations. X460-G2 24 port copper models with 10G uplinks can have up to 8 fiber GbE ports (four dedicated ports + four shared ports) and 20 GbE copper ports (PoE-plus or non-PoE).
The X460-G2 24 port copper models with 1Gb uplinks can provide up to 12 SFP ports with 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports or eight SFP ports with 24 copper GbE ports.
All models come equipped with either 4 ports of SFP+ 10 GbE or 4 ports of SFP 1GbE resident on the faceplate of each model. Through an optional VIM slot, X460-G2 switches can be equipped with an additional 2 ports of 10
GbE for a total of six 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the 10Gb uplink models.
As another option, each unit can be equipped with 2 ports of QSFP+ 40 Gigabit Ethernet for uplinks or stacking.
High-Performance Stacking
Up to eight X460-G2 switches can be stacked using
three different methods of stacking: SummitStack,
SummitStack-V, and SummitStack-V160.
SummitStack — Stacking Using Copper CX4 Connections
The X460-G2 supports SummitStack by using the X460-G2- VIM-2ss module, which offers high-speed 40 Gbps stacking performance and provides compatibility with the X440, X460, X460-G2 and X480 stackable switches running the same version of ExtremeXOS.
SummitStack-V — Flexible Stacking Over 10GbE
ExtremeXOS supports the SummitStack-V capability using 2 of the native 10 GbE ports on the faceplate as stacking ports, enabling the use of standard cabling and optics technologies used for 10 GbE SFP+, SummitStack-V
provides long-distance 40 Gbps stacking connectivity of up to 40 km while reducing the cable complexity of implementing a stacking solution. SummitStack-V is compatible with X440, X440-G2, X450, X450-G2, X460,
X460-G2, X480, X670, X670V, X670-G2 and X770 switches running the same version of ExtremeXOS. SummitStack-V enabled 10 GbE ports must be physically direct-connected.
Note: SummitStack-V is NOT supported on the 1GbE (SFP) front panel faceplate ports of non-10Gb X460-G2 models but SummitStack-V is supported on the 10GbE VIM cards (VIM-2x or VIM-2t) when used in the non-10GbE switches.
SummitStack-V160 — Flexible Stacking Over 40GbE
The X460-G2 also supports high-speed 160 Gbps stacking, which is ideal for demanding applications where a high volume of traffic traverses through the stacking links, yet bandwidth is not compromised through stacking.
SummitStack-V160 can support passive copper cable (up to 3m), active multi-mode fiber cable (up to 100m), and QSFP+ optical transceivers for 40 GbE up to 10km. With SummitStack-V160, the X460-G2 provides a flexible stacking solution inside the data center or central office
to create a virtualized switching infrastructure across rows of racks. SummitStack-V160 is compatible with X460-G2, X480, X670V, X670-G2 and X770 switches running the same version of ExtremeXOS.
Note: The 40Gb Ethernet ports CANNOT be fanned out into four 10Gb ports.
Intelligent Switching and MPLS/ H-VPLS Support
The X460-G2 supports sophisticated and intelligent Layer 2 switching, as well as Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing
including policy-based switching/routing, Provider Bridges, bidirectional ingress and egress Access Control Lists, and bandwidth control by 8 Kbps granularity both for ingress and egress.
To provide scalable network architectures used mainly for Carrier Ethernet network deployment, the X460-G2 supports MPLS LSP-based Layer 3 forwarding and Hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS) for transparent LAN services. With H-VPLS, transparent Layer 3 networks
can be extended throughout the Layer 3 network cloud by using a VPLS tunnel between the regional transparent LAN services typically built by Provider Bridges (IEEE 802.1ad) technology.

IEEE 802.3at PoE-plus
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet has been widely used in the campus enterprise edge network for Ethernetpowered devices such as wireless access points, Voice over IP phones, and security cameras. Ethernet port extenders such as Extreme Networks ReachNXT™ 100-8t can also utilize PoE, making installation and management easier and reducing maintenance costs. The newer IEEE 802.3at PoEplus standard expands upon Power over Ethernet by increasing the power limit up to 30 watts, and by standardizing power negotiation by using LLDP. The X460-G2 supports IEEE 802.3at PoE-plus and supports
standards-compliant PoE devices today and into the future.
1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
The X460-G2 offers Boundary Clock (BC), Transparent Clock (TC), and Ordinary Clock (OC) for synchronizing phase and frequency and allowing the network and the connected devices to be synchronized down to microseconds of accuracy over Ethernet connection.
Audio Video Bridging (AVB)
The X460-G2 series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging to enable reliable, real-time audio/video transmission over Ethernet. AVB technology delivers the quality of service required for today’s high-definition and time-sensitive multimedia streams.
Role-based Policy
Utilizing NetSight Policy Management, the role-based policy framework empowers a network administrator to define distinct roles or profiles that represent industry specific operational groups that may exist in an education or a business environment (e.g., administrator, teacher, student, guest). Each defined role is granted individualized access to specific network services and applications and these access privileges remain associated with users as they move across both wired and wireless network access points.
Users can be authenticated via IEEE 802.1X, MAC address, or web authentication, and then assigned a pre-defined operational role. Network operations can be seamlessly tailored to meet business-oriented requirements by providing each role with individualized access to network services and applications, thus aligning network resource utilization with business goals and priorities.
In addition, administrators can easily transition from basic VLAN and complex ACL deployments to the Extreme Networks role based policy framework in a seamless fashion, without the need to make changes to their RADIUS infrastructure.
Ordering Notes
The X460-G2 base switches do not ship with fan trays or power supplies. The fan tray, power supplies, and any optional VIM cards must be ordered separately. There is only one optional VIM slot on each X460-G2 switch. The optional Timing Module has a separate dedicated slot on
the back of the X460-G2 switch. Beginning with EXOS 22.1, all X460-G2 base systems will include an Advanced Edge license -- an upgrade over the Edge License bundled with earlier EXOS releases.
