The X460-G2 series is based on Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS®, a highly-resilient OS that provides continuous uptime, manageability and operational efficiency. Each switch offers the same high-performance, non-blocking hardware technology. The X460-G2 series switches provide high-performance routing and switching, flexible stacking, PoE+support and comprehensive security, while extending the benefits of ExtremeXOS to edge and aggregation deployments.
The X460-G2 Series easy-to-use, yet powerful, management options include ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine for either cloud-based or on-premise oversight and configuration. The X460-G2 also supports role-based policies and Fabric Attach for secure, automated access to specific network resources and applications.
Intelligent Switching
The X460-G2 supports sophisticated and intelligent Layer 2 switching, as well as Layer 3 IPv4/ IPv6 routing including role-based policy capabilities, bidirectional Access Control Lists, as well as granular ingress/egress bandwidth limiting. Altogether, these enable fine-grained control over traffic, as well as secured access to network services and resources.
Fabric Attach on the X460-G2 can be used to automate the connection to Extreme's campus-based Fabric Connect solution. Fabric Attach not only provides zero-touch edge provisioning, it also allows the X460-G2 to take advantage of the virtualized services and inherent security capabilities of the Extreme Fabric Connect infrastructure.
Up to eight X460-G2 switches can be stacked using three different methods of stacking: SummitStack, SummitStack-V, or SummitStack-V160.
