• 48 × 1Gb/10Gb SFP+ or 48 × 100Mb/1Gb/10Gb 10GBASE-T: Gives buyers a choice between fiber-based or copper-based high-density 10Gb access according to the X690 model selected.
• 2 × 10/40Gb QSFP+ Ports: Provides dedicated high-speed connectivity for 40Gb uplinks or compatible 4 × 10Gb breakout configurations.
• 4 × QSFP28 Ports: Supports 10Gb, 25Gb, 40Gb, 50Gb or 100Gb operation depending on configuration, giving buyers multiple uplink and migration options.
• 1.76Tbps Non-Blocking Switching Capacity: Provides switching headroom for high-density enterprise aggregation and data-center traffic.
• 40Gb Port Partitioning: Compatible high-speed ports can operate as a single 40Gb connection or be partitioned into four 10Gb lanes, increasing cabling flexibility.
• 100Gb Port Partitioning: QSFP28 ports can be configured for 100Gb, 50Gb, 40Gb, 25Gb or 10Gb modes, helping buyers adapt the switch as network requirements change.
• ExtremeXOS: Provides integrated switching, routing, SDN and VXLAN capabilities through Extreme's network operating system.
• VXLAN and VTEP Support: Supports network virtualization and overlay-based data-center designs.
• Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 Routing: Provides routed-network capabilities for enterprise and data-center architectures instead of limiting deployment to basic Layer 2 switching.
• 400Gbps SummitStack-V400: Allows supported X590, X690 and X870 systems to be stacked using 100Gb links for centralized management and resiliency.
• Hot-Swappable Fans and Modular PSUs: Allows hardware maintenance and power configuration flexibility while reducing the need to replace the complete chassis for component service.
• AC and DC Power Options: Gives data-center operators flexibility to match the switch with their existing power infrastructure.
• Front-to-Back or Back-to-Front Airflow: Allows the cooling direction to be matched to the rack's data-center airflow design.
• ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine, CLI and Web Management: Provides multiple administration methods for different operational environments.
• Zero Touch Provisioning: Helps reduce manual configuration effort when deploying switches at scale.
