Optional Ports for X460-G2 Switches
Several dierent hardware accessories are available for expanding the capabilities of your Extreme
Networks switch. Collectively, they are referred to as expansion modules.
•
Port option cards and versatile interface modules (VIMs) are installed in dedicated slots at the back
of the switch to provide optional I/O ports or stacking ports. These optional items add 10-Gbps
copper or fiber I/O ports to the back panel of compatible switches. If no card or module is installed,
the option slot is covered by a blank panel.
•
The TM-CLK Clock Module is required for Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) processing on the X460-G2
switch.
The following table lists the types of expansion modules and the switch series with which they are
