ExtremeSwitching X460-G2-24x-10GE4-Base Advanced Fixed-Form Switch for Secure Edge Access

ExtremeSwitching X460-G2-24x-10GE4-Base: Advanced Fixed-Form Switch for Secure Edge Access

1. Product Overview

The ExtremeSwitching X460-G2-24x-10GE4-Base is a high-performance, scalable fixed-form switch designed for advanced edge access and aggregation deployments. It supports 24 SFP ports for Gigabit connectivity, 4 SFP+ ports for 10GbE uplinks, and offers flexible stacking options. Built on ExtremeXOS®, it delivers non-blocking, wire-speed performance with comprehensive security and management features.

2. Key Characteristics

• 24 x 1Gb SFP ports + 4 x 10Gb SFP+ uplinks
• Non-blocking, wire-speed architecture
• Support for SummitStack, SummitStack-V, and SummitStack-V160 stacking
• Hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays
• ExtremeCloud IQ and Extreme Management Center support
• Role-based policy and Fabric Attach automation
• IEEE 1588 PTP and SyncE timing support

3. Core Technologies

The X460-G2 series leverages ExtremeXOS®, a resilient operating system supporting Layer 2/3 switching, IPv4/IPv6 routing, and advanced policy enforcement. Key technologies include:

• Fabric Attach for zero-touch provisioning
• IEEE 802.3at/af PoE/PoE+
• IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol)
• ExtremeCloud IQ for cloud-based management
• Bidirectional ACLs and granular QoS

4. Working Principle

The X460-G2 operates as a non-blocking switch with full wire-speed forwarding. It uses hardware-based forwarding engines to process traffic at line rate. The system supports dynamic stacking of up to 8 units, with optional VIM modules for 10GbE, 40GbE, or stacking connectivity. Policy enforcement is applied at ingress/egress ports based on user roles and ACLs.

5. Applications

• Campus and enterprise edge networks
• Data center access and aggregation
• IoT and wireless access point aggregation
• VoIP and video surveillance systems
• Industrial and healthcare networks requiring precise timing

6. Specifications & Selection Guide

8. Service & Support

All Extreme Networks switches come with Warranty terms confirmed in writing. project support, advanced replacement, and onsite services are available. Lead time is typically 2–4 weeks. Integration and configuration services can be provided upon request.

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum stacking bandwidth?
A: Up to 160 Gbps with SummitStack-V160.

Q: Does it support PoE?
A: This model does not support PoE. For PoE, consider X460-G2-24p or 48p models.

Q: Is the fan tray included?
A: No, fan trays and power supplies must be ordered separately.

10. Precautions

• Ensure compatible airflow direction (front-to-back or back-to-front) for PSU and fan.
• Use only Extreme Networks-certified transceivers and cables.
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 50°C; non-condensing humidity 10–95%.
• Complies with FCC, CE, RoHS, and WEEE standards.
