V400 Series
Simplified edge switch operation leveraging the power of
ExtremeXOS® aggregation switches.
Product Overview
The ExtremeSwitching V400 Series is a scalable cost-eective family
of edge switches powered by Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS (EXOS)
software, a highly resilient OS providing continuous uptime, advanced
services and operational eciency.
As the edge component of Extreme's Extended Edge Switching solution,
the V400 provides access switch capabilities, while being controlled by
a remote EXOS aggregation switch. This allows the V400 to seamlessly
extend all the feature-rich services of the EXOS aggregation switch,
including Layer 3 routing and policy, to the network edge.
Centralized Management and Control
All V400 models support standards-based control and data plane
technology based on the IEEE 802.lBR specification, allowing for
centralized management and intelligent service delivery from a central
EXOS aggregation switch. The EXOS aggregation switch also acts as a
single point of V400 configuration and control for reduced complexity and
operational costs (see Figure 1).
Plug and Play Installation
V400 Series units can be quickly installed in a plug and play manner. Once the
unit is physically connected and powered up, the V400 automatically finds the
central EXOS aggregation switch and downloads its configuration. There's no
need to connect a local console to set-up the V400 unit or its ports.
Diverse Models with 10Gb Uplinks
The V400 family consists of both 24 and 48-port Gigabit Ethernet and 24
and 48-port Gigabit PoE+ models. All models include either 2 or 4 SFP+
ports on the faceplate of each base unit, which can be provisioned either as
uplink, cascade or ring ports. This gives administrators the option to create
redundant links or downstream cascade/ring ports to other V400 units
(see Figure 1).
