Product Overview
The VSP 8400 Ethernet Switch provides four front-panel slots that
support the flexible deployment of high-density VSP 8400 Series Ethernet
Switch Modules. By default, the VSP 8400 is a “zero port” system, with a
Chassis that integrates the switching fabric and all associated control and
management electronics. Ethernet interfaces are delivered by the addition
of one or more field-replaceable and hot-swappable Ethernet Switch
Modules (ESMs).
Extreme Networks has expanded the capability of the VSP 8400 Series
with the introduction of the VSP 8404C 100G-capable Chassis. This variant
features a new switching fabric that has been specifically optimized to
support 100 Gigabit Ethernet and the companion 8402CQ 2-port 100
Gigabit Ethernet ESM. In every other respect, the new VSP 8404C Chassis
is identical to the original VSP 8400: form, fit, and function; power and
cooling, size and weight.
In this manner, the VSP 8400 provides a low-cost, pay-as-you-grow solution
for mid-sized businesses that wish to retain a high degree of flexibility as
they develop solutions for their networking requirements.
The VSP 8400 Series Ethernet Switch Modules are as follows:
• 8402CQ 2-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ESM
• 8408QQ 8-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ESM
• 8418XSQ 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ and 2-port 40 Gigabit
Ethernet QSFP+ Combo ESM
• 8418XTQ 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 and 2-port 40 Gigabit
Ethernet QSFP+ Combo ESM
• 8424XS 24-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ESM
• 8424XT 24-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ESM
• 8424GS 24-port Gigabit Ethernet SFP ESM
• 8424GT 24-port Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ESM
It should also be noted:
• 8402CQ 100 Gigabit ESM is supported only in the VSP 8404C, not in
the VSP 8400
• 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports support Channelization and can
therefore be individual
sub-divided into four 10 Gigabit Ethernet channels
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports also support a wide range of 1 Gigabit
Ethernet SFP Transceivers
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports also support 100/1000Mbps
connectivity
• Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports support a wide range of 1 Gigabit Ethernet
SFP Transceivers
• Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000Mbps connectivity
