The V300 Series are compact, cost-effective edge switches managed by Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS (EXOS) software, a highly resilient OS providing continuous uptime, advanced services and operational efficiency.
As the edge component of Extreme’s Extended Edge Switching solution, the V300 Series provides access switch capabilities, while being controlled by a remote EXOS aggregation switch. This allows the V300 Series to seamlessly extend feature-rich services of the EXOS aggregation switch to the network edge.
Available in a variety of models, the V300 Series includes versions for indoor use as well as hardened models for outdoor or environmentally challenging locations.
V300 Series switches are designed to operate in conjunction with supported ExtremeXOS Series switches at the aggregation layer or core of the network. These include the 5420, 5520, X465, X590, X670-G2, and X690 Series switches. V300 switches can be single or dual connected to one or more ExtremeXOS systems for redundancy and uplink bandwidth – and in the case of the V300-8P-2T-W for additional power draw.
1G and/or 10G uplink ports on the faceplate of each V300 unit can be provisioned either as uplink, cascade or ring ports, giving administrators the option to create redundant links or downstream cascade/ring ports to other V300 units.
