Scalable Cost-Effective Edge Switch with ExtremeXOS Operating System Product Overview
The ExtremeSwitching X440-G2 series is a scalable cost-effective family of edge switches powered by Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS, a highly resilient OS providing continuous uptime, manageability and operational efficiency. The X440-G2 series switches provide high-performance routing and switching, flexible stacking, PoE+ support and comprehensive security, while extending the benefits of ExtremeXOS to the campus edge.
The X440-G2 Series easy-to-use, yet powerful, management options include ExtremeCloud™ IQ, Extreme Management Center and Extreme Cloud Appliance for either cloud-based or on-premise oversight and configuration. The X440-G2 also supports role-based policies and Fabric Attach for secure, automated access to specific network resources and applications.
Intelligent Switching
The X440-G2 Series supports sophisticated and intelligent Layer 2 switching, as well as Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing. They also provide rolebased policy capabilities, bidirectional Access Control Lists, along with granular ingress/egress bandwidth control. Altogether, these enable finegrained control over traffic flows, as well as controlled access to specific network services and applications.
Flexible 10Gb Upgrades
All X440-G2 base models come equipped with 4 upgradeable 1Gb ports, resident on either the faceplate or rear panel of each model. These 1Gb ports can be upgraded to 10Gb Ethernet via a simple software license. This gives administrators the option to increase switch uplink speeds without replacing the entire switch.
High-Performance Stacking
ExtremeXOS SummitStack-V capabilities allow up to eight X440-G2 switches to be stacked together via two of the native X440-G2 10Gb ports. This provides 40Gb per unit stacking and allows use of standard 10Gb Ethernet cabling and optics technologies, enabling long distance stacking connectivity of up to 40 Km.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
X440-G2 Series switches support both IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and IEEE 802.3af PoE to enable connection of standards compliant PoE devices today and into the future. The X440-G2 can support full PoE+ 30W power across all 48 ports with an external redundant power supply (RPS).
Role-Based Policy
The X440-G2 supports role-based policies that can be centrally administered through the ExtremeControl policy manager. This policy framework empowers network administrators to define distinct roles or profiles to represent specific operational groups that may exist in an enterprise. Each defined role can then be 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.
