Optional Ports for X460-G2 Switches
Several different hardware accessories are available for expanding the capabilities of your Extreme
Networks switch. Collectively, they are referred to as expansion modules.
•
The LRM/MACsec Adapter offers:
◦
Increased flexibility by supporting 10Gb Long Reach Multimode (LRM) connections. The adapter
plugs into SFP+ ports that do not support LRM, effectively turning them into LRM-capable ports.
◦ Improved security through MACsec link encryption for connections leaving a building or campus.
•
Port option cards and versatile interface modules (VIMs) are installed in dedicated slots at the back
of the switch to provide optional I/O ports or stacking ports. These optional items add 10-Gbps
copper or fiber I/O ports to the back panel of compatible switches. If no card or module is installed,
the option slot is covered by a blank panel.
•
Solid-state Drives (SSDs) provide modular storage support.
•
The TM-CLK Clock Module is required for Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) processing on the X460-G2
switch.
