If the information in the Release Notes that shipped with your switch differs from the information in this
guide, follow the Release Notes.

Full-Duplex Support

Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. This means that frames can be
transmitted and received simultaneously, which, in effect, doubles the bandwidth that is available on a
link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch autonegotiate for half-duplex or full-duplex operation.
Gigabit Ethernet and 100BASE-FX ports operate in full-duplex mode only in accordance with technical
standards.

Management Ports

The 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet management port allows you to communicate directly to the CPU of the
switch. You can plug an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop into the management port. This
provides you with direct access into the switch and allows you to view and locally manage the switch
configurations.
Do not assign an in-band IP address to the Ethernet management port VLAN. The management port
VLAN is an out-of-band VLAN, so if it is assigned an in-band IP address (an address where the source
and destination are in the same subnet), the switch will treat it as a normal VLAN and attempt to route
traffic through it.
An Ethernet management port is located on the following Extreme Networks devices:
• Summit5i—The management port is located on the back of the switch.
• Summit7i—The management port is located on the front of the switch.
• Summit 400-48t—The management port is located on the back of the switch.
• Alpine—Switch Management Module (SMMi) for the Alpine series switch.
• BlackDiamond—Management Switch Fabric Module (MSM64i) for the BlackDiamond series switch.
Extreme Networks does not recommend that you use the management port to route traffic to any front
panel port on the switch. The management port is designed for switch management purposes.
