Network Configuration - Extreme Networks Summit X350-48t Product Brief

Extreme Networks Product Brief
Single Streamlined Operating
System in the Entire
Enterprise Network
Extreme Networks offers an ExtremeXOS-
based Ethernet switching platform from
edge, to aggregation, to core of the
enterprise network. Having one operating
system significantly simplifies network
deployment and operation, as well as
ongoing maintenance, to help reduce the
total cost of ownership. Summit X350
running ExtremeXOS provides a consistent
experience amongst other switches such
as the BlackDiamond modular chassis
®
and provides an excellent user experience
from the edge to the core of the network.

Network Configuration

Automation
ExtremeXOS provides extensible scripting
capability that allows users to create a
customized series of commands and
executables. Scripting can be used to add
incremental configuration to the network
infrastructure, such as a list of VLANs to
be configured. This capability eases the
roll-out of networks and reduces configu-
ration errors. For example, using the
scripting capabilities of system and
user-defined environment variables and
constructs, such as if/then and loops,
allows for automating regular management
tasks and deployment configurations of
QoS rate limiting and ACLs to multiple
ports or multiple switches.

Ethernet Automatic Protection
Switching (EAPS)
EAPS allows the IP network to provide
the level of resiliency and uptime that
users expect from their traditional voice
network. EAPS differs from Spanning Tree
and Rapid Spanning Tree protocols in
offering sub-second (less than 50
milliseconds) recovery that helps deliver
consistent failover regardless of the
number of VLANs, network nodes or
network topology. Since EAPS allows the
network to recover almost transparently,
VoIP calls do not drop and digital video
feeds do not freeze or pixelize in most
situations.
Multiple Network Edge
Authentication Support with
Multiple Endpoint per Port
Network Login capability enforces user
admission and usage policies. Summit X350
series switches support a comprehensive
range of Network Login options by
providing an 802.1x agent-based ap-
proach, a web-based (agent-less) login
capability for guests, and a MAC-based
authentication model for devices. With
these modes of Network Login, only
authorized users and devices are
permitted to connect to the network and
be assigned to the appropriate VLAN.

Shared ports represent a potential
vulnerability in a network. Multiple
supplicant capability on a switch allows it
to uniquely authenticate and apply the
appropriate policies and VLANs for each
user or device on a shared port. Multiple
supplicant support secures IP Telephony
and wireless access. Converged network
designs often involve the use of shared
ports.
Ease of Management
As the network becomes a foundation of
the enterprise application, network
management becomes an important piece
of the solution. Summit X350 switches
offer comprehensive network management
support through Command Line Interface
(CLI), SNMP v1, v2c, v3, and embedded
XML-based Web User Interface,
ExtremeXOS ScreenPlay™. With a variety
of management options and consistency
across other Extreme Networks modular
and stackable switches, Summit X350
series provides ease-of-management for
demanding converged applications.
Extreme Networks has developed tools
that can save you time and resources in
managing your network. EPICenter
provides fault configuration, accounting,
performance and security functions,
allowing effective management of
multi-layer switching equipment from
Extreme Networks in a converged
network.
