The ExtremeSwitching 5720 Series is a family of high-performance, feature-rich edge and aggregation
switches. As a universal hardware platform, the 5720 Series offers a user-selectable choice of Extreme's
flagship switch operating systems, Switch Engine and Fabric Engine. The 5720 Series includes 24- and
48-port 1/2.5/5 Multi-gig models, as well as 24- and 48-port 1/2.5/5/10 Multi-gig models. All models
offer 90W PoE support, including Perpetual PoE and Fast PoE. The 5720 Series includes 10/25Gb
and/or 100Gb modular uplink options for flexible linkage to other switches or devices.

Management

An RJ45 serial console port on the rear panel of the 5720 Series switch enables you to connect a
terminal and perform local management. An Ethernet management port can be used to connect the
system to an out of band 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.
There is one Micro-B USB console port on the front panel. If the Micro-B USB console port is connected,
it is selected over the RJ45 console port. The Micro-B USB console port disconnects when the switch is
rebooted. You can re-connect the port if needed. When the Micro-B USB console is active, any
messages from the switch to the client terminal are echoed to both the USB console and the rear panel
RJ45 serial port; however, no user input is accepted from the rear panel port.
Tip
Using a Micro-USB Type B to USB Type A cable, connect the Micro-USB Type B end to the
switch, and the USB Type A end to a laptop or PC and complete the driver installation steps.
There are also two USB 2.0 Type A ports: one on the front panel labeled USB and one on the rear
labeled USB. They can be used for a Bluetooth dongle or for attaching a removable memory module.
Note
The first USB storage device inserted is mounted and can be used under the operating system
as /usr/local/ext. A second inserted USB storage device is not used until the first one is
removed.
