Extreme Networks X460-G2-48t-10GE4 Base Unit

1. Product Overview

The Extreme Networks X460-G2-48t-10GE4 is a high-performance, fixed-form switch designed for advanced edge access and aggregation layers in enterprise networks. It delivers non-blocking, wire-speed switching and routing with 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4x built-in 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports. Built on the resilient ExtremeXOS operating system, this switch offers robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, sophisticated security features, and flexible management options, making it an ideal solution for demanding network environments.

2. Key Characteristics

• 48x Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports + 4x 10GbE SFP+ uplinks
• Non-blocking switching capacity of 336 Gbps
• Support for SummitStack, SummitStack-V, and SummitStack-V160 stacking (up to 8 units)
• Hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays for high availability
• Front-to-Back or Back-to-Front airflow options
• Role-based policy and Fabric Attach for automated network access
• SyncE and IEEE 1588 PTP support for timing-sensitive applications

3. Core Technologies

The X460-G2 series leverages ExtremeXOS, a robust network operating system supporting advanced features such as:

• IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE
• IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)*
• IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB)
• Bidirectional ACLs and granular QoS
• IPv4 and IPv6 routing
• Fabric Attach for zero-touch provisioning

*PTP supported in EXOS Release 3.1 and earlier

4. Working Principle

The X460-G2 operates as a fully managed switch, processing traffic at wire speed using a high-performance ASIC. It supports dynamic stacking technology, allowing multiple units to operate as a single logical device. Traffic is classified and policies are applied based on user roles, VLANs, and ACLs. PoE+ capabilities are managed through intelligent power budgeting, ensuring optimal power delivery to connected devices.

5. Applications

• Enterprise access and aggregation layers
• Campus networks with high-density user access
• IP surveillance and security systems
• VoIP and unified communications deployments
• Wireless LAN infrastructure with PoE-enabled APs
• Time-sensitive audio/video streaming environments

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this model support Power over Ethernet?
A: No, the X460-G2-48t-10GE4 model does not support PoE. For PoE capabilities, consider the X460-G2-48p-10GE4 model.

Q: What is the maximum stacking bandwidth?
A: With SummitStack-V160, the X460-G2 series supports up to 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth.

Q: Is the power supply included?
A: No, power supplies and fan trays must be ordered separately to configure the switch for operation.

Q: What management options are available?
A: The switch can be managed via CLI, web GUI, ExtremeCloud IQ, or Extreme Management Center.

10. Precautions

• Ensure proper airflow direction (front-to-back or back-to-front) matches your data center environment
• Verify compatibility of optional VIM modules and transceivers before purchase
• Comply with local safety and EMC regulations during installation
• Use only Extreme Networks certified power supplies and accessories
• Note that IEEE 1588 PTP is only supported in EXOS Release 3.1 and earlier
