Flexible Deployment Options
The X690 can handle a range of high bandw idth
applications, including high-density 10 Gb top of rack
aggregation, as well as spine/ leaf deployments as an edge
leaf switch. With both copper and fiber high-density 10 Gb
port options, the X690 can flexibly accommodate a
variety of data center needs. It can also flexibly support
uplinks at 25Gb, 40 Gb, 50Gb or even 10 0 Gb rates. A range
of SFP+ and QSFP+ optical transceivers are available to
support 1Gb, 10Gb and 40Gb Ethernet, while QSFP28
optical transceivers can be used to support 25Gb, 50 Gb
and 10 0 Gb Ethernet applications.
ExtremeXOS Intelligent
L2/ L3 Switching
The ExtremeSwitching X690 family supports
sophisticated, intelligent Layer 2 switching, as well as
Layer 3 IPv4/ IPv6 routing, including policy-based
switching and routing. The X690 simplifies network
operation with the ExtremeXOS modular operating
system, which is used across a wide range of
ExtremeSwitching networking products. The high
availability ExtremeXOS operating system reduces
operational overhead through the use of a single OS
across the network.
Extended Edge Switching
The X690 supports Extreme Extended Edge Switching, an
innovative solution that simplifies the deployment and
operation of edge switches. W ith this solution, the X690
can be meshed with economical V30 0 and V400 Series
access devices to form a single logical switch. Advanced
X690 services can then be seamlessly delivered to the
V30 0 and V40 0 edge switches. The result is a simplified
operational model that reduces costs.
High-Performance
40 0 Gb Stacking
The X690 supports SummitStack-V40 0 40 0 Gbps high
speed stacking using 2 10 0 Gb ports, along with Extreme
X590 and X87o Series switches. Up to eight (8) X590 ,
X690 and X870 systems can be stacked using
SummitStack-V40 0. Any of the supported 10 0 Gb QSFP28
direct attach cables can be used for the stacking links.
