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
Summit family switches, see

VIM1-SummitStack512 Versatile Interface Module
The VIM1-SummitStack512 versatile interface module provides four 128-Gbps stacking ports that are
used to cross-connect two Summit X650 series switches.
Each switch must have an installed VIM1-SummitStack512 module. To connect these ports, you must
use stacking cables with compatible connectors, available from Extreme Networks.
The VIM1-SummitStack512 module requires ExtremeXOS 12.3.3 software (or later) installed on the
Summit X650 series switch.
