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 types of VIM available for the Summit X480 series switches are:
VIM2-SummitStack versatile interface module (see
●
Provides two 20-Gbps stacking ports.
VIM2-10G4X versatile interface module (see
●
Provides four 10-Gbps XFP ports.
VIM2-SummitStack128 versatile interface module (see
●
Provides two 64-Gbps stacking ports.
NOTE
The Summit X480 switches are only compatible with VIM2 modules. 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.
Cooling is provided by a replaceable fan module. Two power supply bays accommodate either AC or
DC power supplies.
