Summit
Summit48si from Extreme Networks
standard for Layer 3 switching at the edge by
maximizing 10/100 port density and architecting
high levels of reliability while maintaining leadership
in Layer 3 software features and performance. The
unsurpassed software features, capacity and
performance of Summit48si enable customers to
provide more Layer 3 services to more users while
using less space and at a lower Total Cost of
Ownership than ever before.
At one rack unit (1RU) in height, Summit48si packs
48 10/100 Ethernet ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet
ports with nonblocking capacity to support every
port at full line-rate. This compact yet powerful
package is capable of supporting two hot swappable
load sharing power supplies—a reliability first in a
1RU Layer 3 switch. The reliability of Summit48si is
enhanced even further with dual Gigabit Ethernet
uplinks, both of which are active and can be aggregated
for enhanced throughput and increased redundancy.
Extreme Networks' advanced Layer 3 software
feature set, combined with dual hot-swappable
power supplies makes Summit48si an unbeatable
solution at the edge of the network.
Target Applications
• In enterprise markets—such as banking,
manufacturing, education—where high-
performance, reliability and security features
are critical
• Metro Ethernet access rings where granular
bandwidth allocation, billing, and security
are critical
• Metro service providers that need high speed
IP unicast and multicast services supporting
carrier-class routing protocols like OSPF,
BGP, and PIM-SM
