For more information about QSFP+ modules, refer to the Extreme Networks Pluggable Transceivers
Installation Guide.
VIM-2ss Port Option Card
X460-G2 series stacking modules allow you to add two high-performance SummitStack ports to the
VIM (Versatile Interface Module) slot on the rear panel of an X460-G2 series switch. These ports allow
you to combine multiple units into a single SummitStack management entity, using stacking cables that
are available from Extreme Networks. The VIM-2ss stacking module, shown in Figure 191, provides two
integrated CX4 SummitStack 10-Gbps bidirectional stacking ports for stacking connections using
Extreme Networks SummitStack cables.
Caution
VIM modules are not hot swappable. You must power down the switch before installing any
VIM modules.
Note
Alternate stacking with the VIM-2ss is supported with ExtremeXOS version 16.1. However,
alternate stacking is not supported with earlier versions of the ExtremeXOS software.
