Chapter 2: New in this document The following sections detail what is new in Installing the Virtual Services Platform 4450GSX-PWR Transceiver support VSP Operating System software now allows the use of transceivers and direct attach cables from any vendor, which means that the switch will bring up the port operationally when using any transceiver.
Chapter 3: Hardware models The following table describes the VSP 4450GSX series hardware. Table 1: Hardware VSP 4000 model Description Part number VSP 4450GSX-PWR+ • 12 10/100/1000 BASE TX RJ-45 ports with EC4400A05-E6 802.3at PoE+ • 36 100/1000–Mbps SFP ports •...
Hardware models Management port Extreme Networks Virtual Services Platform 4000 Series requires one port to be configured as the management port. This port separates user traffic from management traffic in highly sensitive environments, such as brokerages and insurance agencies. By using this dedicated network to manage the switch, and by configuring access policies (if you enable routing), you can manage the switch in a secure fashion.
Supported optical devices VSP 4000 PSU Usage Part number (order code) “A”: No power cord included. “B”: Includes European “Schuko” power cord common in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. “C”: Includes power cord commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland. “D”: Includes power cord commonly used in Japan.
