Versatile Interface Modules For The Summit X650 Series Switches - Extreme Networks Summit X150 Series Hardware Installation Manual

In Summit X450a and X450e series switches, the ports on the XGM2-2bt 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
The 10GBASE-T standard (IEEE 802.3an) allows the use of standard CAT5E, CAT6, or CAT6A cable for
connection to the XGM2-2bt ports (see the following table).

Versatile Interface Modules for the Summit X650 Series Switches

The back panel of the Summit X650 series switch has a replaceable VIM1 or VIM3 versatile interface
module.
These modules provide dedicated high-speed stacking ports or Ethernet ports. For more information
about using the stacking ports, see
The following VIMs are available for the Summit X650 series switches:
•
VIM1-10G8X Virtual Interface Module
•
VIM1-SummitStack Versatile Interface Module
•
VIM1-SummitStack512 Versatile Interface Module
•
VIM1-SummitStack256 Versatile Interface Module
•
VIM3-40G4X Versatile Interface Module
VIM1-10G8X Versatile Interface Module
The VIM1-10G8X versatile interface module provides eight cages for installed SFP or SFP+ optical
modules.
In addition, the VIM1-10G8X module is compatible with the SFP+ direct-attach passive copper cable. For
information about the supported optical modules, refer to the most recent version of the ExtremeXOS
Hardware and Software Compatibility Matrix.
The VIM1-10G8X module also provides two high-performance stacking ports that allow you to combine
multiple units into a single SummitStack management entity. The stacking ports on the VIM1-10G8X
module are not shared with the front panel ports.
Ports 31 and 32 on the VIM1-10G8X module can be configured as alternate stacking ports in a
SummitStack configuration that uses the SummitStack-V feature. For more information about stacking
