Summit X480 Series Switches
The Summit X480 series switches are 24-port or 48-port switches that provide Ethernet connectivity
using fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports, installable SFP optical modules, or installable XFP optical
modules. The Summit X480 series switches include the following base models:
• Summit X480-24x Switch Ports and Slots on page 136
• Summit X480-48t Switch Ports and Slots on page 137
• Summit X480-48x Switch Ports and Slots on page 137
Summit X480 series switches require an ExtremeXOS version of at least 12.4.1 but not greater than 16.x.
A serial console port on the front panel of the Summit X480 series switch allows you to connect a
terminal and perform local management. An Ethernet management port can be used to connect the
system to a parallel management network for administration. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet
cable to connect this port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch
configuration. The
Ethernet management port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
The rear panel of the switch provides a slot for an installed option card called a versatile interface
module or VIM. The VIMs allow you to add high-speed data ports or stacking ports to the switch. The
following table lists the available VIM types for the Summit X480 series switches.
Note
Only VIM2 modules are compatible with the Summit X480 switches. Other VIM types that
may appear to be mechanically compatible with the Summit X480 switches will not function
if they are installed in these switches.
