High-Performance Stacking

Up to eight X450-G2 switches can be stacked using two different methods

of stacking: Summit Stack-V, and SummitStack-V84. Each X450-G2 unit

comes equipped with 2 ports of 21 Gigabit stacking ports via a QSFP

interface. Standard passive 40Gb copper cables can be used for stacking

X450-G2s together.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Switches support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and IEEE 802.3af PoE to enable

connection of standards compliant PoE devices. Power over Ethernet

allows connection of Ethernet-powered devices, such as wireless access

points, Voice over IP phones, and security cameras. The X450-G2 supports

full PoE+ 30W power across all 24 or 48 ports using its internal power

supplies.

Role-Based Policy

The X450-G2 supports role-based policies that can be centrally

administered through the ExtremeControl policy manager. This policy

framework empowers network administrators to define distinct roles or

profiles to represent specific operational groups that may exist in an

enterprise. Each defined role can then be granted individualized access

to specific network services and applications and these access privileges

remain associated with users as they move across both wired and wireless

network access points.

Fabric Attach

Fabric Attach on the X450-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 X450-G2 to take

advantage of the virtualized services and inherent security capabilities of

the Extreme Fabric Connect infrastructure.

Audio Video Bridging

The X450-G2 series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB)

to enable reliable, real-time audio/video transmission over Ethernet.

AVB technology delivers the quality of service required for today’s high-

definition and time-sensitive multimedia streams.

Management

The X450-G2 can be managed in a variety of ways. Simple on-box

management functions are delivered by a web-based GUI, and a generic

CLI is available for manual configuration.

ExtremeCloud IQ along with ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine provide a

comprehensive unified management capability with a consolidated view

of users, devices, and applications for wired and wireless networks. Zero-

touch provisioning lets one quickly bring new X450-G2 switches online, and

a granular view of devices, ports and users enables efficient inventory and

network topology management.

Note: Refer to New Features in the

ExtremeCloudIQ Release Notes for the

latest list of cloud-supported X450-G2 models.
