Summit 400-48t Switch Overview
LEDs—For a description of the LEDs and their behavior, see “Summit 400 Switch LEDs” on page 59.
Fiber uplink ports—For more information about these four ports, see “Evaluating and Meeting
Mini-GBIC Requirements” on page 31.
10/100/1000BASE-T ports—For more information about these 48 ports, see “Port Connections” on
page 61.
Console Port—Use the console port (9-pin, “D” type connector) to attach a terminal and access the CLI
through a serial connection. Use the console port to carry out local management.
Summit 400 Rear View
Figure 15 shows the rear view of the Summit 400-48t switch.

The rear panel consists of:
• An option slot for the dual 10 Gigabit uplinks
To install this option, see “Installing Optional Features” on page 89.
• The management port
The 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet management port communicates directly with the CPU of the
switch, bypassing the switch. Connect an Ethernet cable directly from a laptop into the management
port to view and locally manage the switch configurations.
Do not assign an in-band IP address to the management port VLAN. The management port VLAN is
an out-of-band VLAN, so if it is assigned an in-band IP address (an address where the source and
destination are in the same subnet), the switch treats it as a normal VLAN and attempts to route
traffic through it.
Extreme Networks does not recommend that you use the management port to route traffic to any
front panel port on the switch. The management port is designed only for switch management
purposes.
There are two LEDs for the management port, located in the bottom corners of the port. The LED on
the bottom right turns solid green when a cable is inserted and the port detects a link. The LED on
the bottom left blinks green when there is transmission activity on the link.
• A compact flash slot
This slot is currently not supported but is reserved for future use.
