Summit X480 Series Switches

The Summit X480 series switches are 24-port or 48-port switches that provide Ethernet connectivity
using fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, installable SFP optical modules, or installable XFP
optical modules.
The Summit X480 series switches include the following base models:
Summit X480-24x switch
●
Summit X480-48x switch
●
Summit X480-48t switch
●
A serial console port on the front panel of the Summit X480 series switch allows you to connect a
terminal and perform local management. An Ethernet management port can be used to connect the
system to a parallel management network for administration. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet
cable to connect this port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch configuration. The
Ethernet management port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
The rear panel of the switch provides a slot for an installed option card called a versatile interface
module or VIM. The VIMs allow you to add high-speed data ports or stacking ports to the switch.
Table 30 lists the available VIM types for the Summit X480 series switches.
NOTE
Only VIM2 modules are compatible with the Summit X480 switches. Other VIM types that may appear to
be mechanically compatible with the Summit X480 switches will not function if they are installed in these switches.
