Summit Option Cards and Versatile Interface Modules
Optional Ports for the Summit X460 Series Switches
The rear panel of all Summit X460 switches provides slots to install the following:
XGM3-2sf port option card
●
Summit X460 series stacking module
●
XGM3-2sf Port Option Card
The XGM3-2sf option card
slot A on the rear panel of a Summit X460 series switch. The XGM3-2sf option card supports SFP+
optical modules and the SFP+ direct-attach passive copper cable.
The ports on the XGM3-2sf option card can be configured as alternate stacking ports in a SummitStack
configuration that uses the SummitStack-V feature. For more information about stacking Summit family
switches, see

For current information about compatible SFP+ modules and the minimum required software, refer to
the most recent version of the ExtremeXOS Release Notes.
For more information about SFP+ modules, refer to the Extreme Networks Pluggable Interfaces Hardware
Installation Guide.
Summit X460 Series Stacking Modules
Summit X460 series stacking modules allow you to add two high-performance SummitStack ports to
slot B on the rear panel of a Summit X460 series switch. These ports allow you to combine multiple
units into a single SummitStack management entity, using stacking cables that are available from
Extreme Networks.
Two stacking modules are available for the Summit X460 series switches
SummitStack stacking module
●
Provides two integrated 20-Gbps bidirectional stacking ports for stacking connections using Extreme
Networks SummitStack cables.
SummitStack-V80 stacking module
●
Provides two unpopulated cages for QSFP+ optical modules or QSFP+ compatible active or passive
cables. These ports support 20-Gbps bidirectional stacking connections.
