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

8. Service & Support

All Extreme Networks switches come with limited lifetime warranty. 24/7 technical 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.
