Installation Guide

• VIM-2x Ethernet Module with 2x10GSFP+ ports
• TM-CLK Clock Module to support SyncE and 1588
Note
Optional VIM and clock modules for the X460-G2 series switches are not compatible with
X460 series switches.
Caution
The switch must be powered o before you install any interface module options (VIMs or
clock modules). The interface module options are not hot swappable.
VIM-2q Port Option Card
The VIM-2q Ethernet Module option card allows you to add one or two 40 gigabit QSFP+ optical ports
to the VIM (Versatile Interface Module) slot on the rear panel of an X460-G2 series switch. The VIM-2q
option card supports QSFP+ optical modules.
The ports on the VIM-2q option card can be configured as high speed stacking ports in a SummitStack
configuration with a stack link speed of 40G. For more information about stacking ExtremeSwitching
switches, see Building Stacks on page 237.
Note
40G ports on the VIM-2q cannot be partitioned into four 10G ports.
Caution
VIM modules are not hot swappable. You must power down the switch before installing any
VIM modules.
Note
Alternate stacking with the VIM-2q is supported with ExtremeXOS version 16.1. However,
alternate stacking is not supported with earlier versions of the ExtremeXOS software.
