Summary
The Extreme Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series is
purpose-built to support the dynamic Data Center and
high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet Top-of-Rack deployments
of today. It helps alleviates infrastructure complexity and
can reduce power consumption with a truly scalable
and strategic architecture; it is designed to be the high-
performance Top-of-Rack platform for the future.
Supporting mission-critical applications requires 24/365
always-on infrastructure, and the VSP 7200 delivers against
this challenge. It is a highly strategic product that is fit-for-
purpose for today’s connectivity requirements and future-
ready for the evolving and emerging application-driven
needs of tomorrow.
Extreme brings unique dierentiation to the ToR role: with
a flexible, non-blocking architecture, including wire-speed
Server access connections and high-speed Distributed
Top-of-Rack connections. The VSP 7200 is purpose-built
to support today’s dynamic Data Center operations and
high-density, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet Top-of- Rack
deployments. It can alleviate infrastructure complexity
and reduce power consumption with a truly scalable and
strategic architecture; it is designed to deliver a high-
performance Distributed Top-of-Rack solution
that fully optimizes next-generation application
virtualization investments.

VSP 7254XTQ
The Extreme Virtual Services Platform 7254XTQ Ethernet
Switch provides a total of 54 ports, configured as 48 ports
of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, presented as RJ45 ports, and 6
ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet, presented as QSFP+ sockets.
The innovative design leverages an advanced chipset,
featuring 2.56Tbps of switching and 1,428Mpps of frame
forwarding performance.
It should be noted that the 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+
ports support Channelization and can therefore be
individual sub-divided into four 10 Gigabit Ethernet
channels. Additionally, the 10 Gigabit RJ45 ports also
support 100/1000Mbps connectivity.
Benefits
The VSP 7254XTQ adds significant flexibility to the
Extreme Networking portfolio, and is compatible, with and
complementary to, with existing products and technologies,
the VSP 7254XTQ, when deployed with other Extreme or
third party Ethernet Switches devices, provides a very high-
capacity, high-performance connectivity solution
The VSP 7254XTQ can be deployed as a Leaf/Top-of-Rack
Switch in Spine/Leaf networks. Alternatively, it can serve
as a 10GB Campus aggregation switch or even as a 10GB
campus core solution for smaller networks. VSP 7254XTQ
port-license models also oer flexible deployment and
growth options.
The VSP 7254XTQ natively supports the Extreme Fabric
Connect technology; key benefits that this technology
delivers include:
• Makes the need to configure network-wide
VLANs obsolete.
• Replaces multiple sequential legacy protocols with this
one single unified technology.
• Totally removes the risk of network loops.
• Delivers the Edge-only provisioning model
which seamlessly integrates with orchestration
and automation.
• Fully optimizes all links and all devices
enabling businesses to get the most out of
infrastructure investments.
Features and Capabilities
• Non-blocking, wire-speed switching architecture.
• Integrated design that is optimized for low latency.
• Flexible table architecture delivers MAC, ARP, and IP
Routing scalability.
• Feature-rich support for conventional VLAN, Multi-Link
Trunking, Spanning Tree technologies.
• Support for IP Routing techniques including Static, RIP,
OSPF, eBGP, BGP+, ECMP, DvR/VRRP, PIM-SM/SSM,
and VRF. Additionally, supports Static, RIPng, OSPFv3,
BGPv6 Peering, ECMP, VRRP, and VRF for IPv6
deployments.
• Extreme Distributed Top-of-Rack technology scales
up to 512 nodes: supporting up to 24,576 ports of 10
