LRM/ MACsec Adapter
Product Overview
The ExtremeSwitching LRM/ MACsec Adapter is a two-port external
adapter that can be used in conjunction with an ExtremeXOS switch to
add 10 Gigabit Long Reach Multimode (LRM) and/or MACsec link
encryption to the switch. It effectively enables either LRM or MACsec
support on SFP/ SFP+ switch ports that do not otherwise support these
capabilities.
Device Options
The Adapter is equipped with four physical SFP+ ports; two for direct
connection to the host switch; and two for external link connection. Two
host cables are also included w ith each Adapter for connection to the
host switch. Fully managed from the host switch, the Adapter does not
require any set-up via local console cable or Ethernet port.
The Adapter provides the necessary hardware to drive up to two LRM
external links when connected to the host switch's 10 Gb SFP+ ports. The
Adapter can simultaneously support MACsec encryption across the same
LRM links. MACsec-only operation is also possible on host switch ports
when LRM is not required. (Note: A separate license must be applied on
the host switch for MACsec encryption.)
An optional multi-unit rack-mount kit is available that holds up to 5
LRM/ MACsec Adapters in a single RU.
