What are the port specifications and uplink options for the 5420F-48T-4XE?

The 5420F-48T-4XE features 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T full/half-duplex autosensing ports with MACsec encryption capability. It includes 4 x 1/10Gb SFP+ unpopulated uplink ports, allowing flexible deployment of 1Gb or 10Gb uplinks based on network requirements. All ports support full/half-duplex operation with automatic speed and duplex negotiation.

How does the stacking architecture work and what bandwidth does it provide?

The 5420F-48T-4XE supports stackable deployment of up to 8 switches using 2 x Stacking/SFP-DD ports per unit. Each unit provides 80Gb aggregate stacking bandwidth, enabling distributed edge architectures with simplified management. Stacked switches operate as a single logical entity, reducing operational complexity in large deployments.

What security features does the 5420F-48T-4XE provide for network segmentation?

The switch delivers comprehensive security through MACsec encryption across all access and uplink ports, 4,059 VLAN support for network segmentation, 512 L2 VSNs and 64 L3 VSNs for Fabric Connect deployments, 1,024 ingress and 336 egress ACLs for traffic filtering, and 8 egress QoS queues per port for traffic prioritization and isolation.

What management interfaces and options are available on this switch?

Management options include 1 x serial console port (RJ-45), 1 x 10/100/1000BASE-T out-of-band management port, 2 x USB A ports for management or external USB flash storage, and 1 x USB Micro-B console port. The switch includes 1-year XIQ Pilot subscription for cloud-based management and monitoring capabilities.

What is the power supply configuration and redundancy capability?

The 5420F-48T-4XE includes 1 internal fixed 150W AC power supply with one unpopulated PSU slot for optional field-replaceable redundant power supply installation. This design allows for optional N+1 power redundancy without requiring external power distribution units, improving reliability in critical deployments.

How does the 5420F-48T-4XE compare to PoE-enabled variants in the same series?

The 5420F-48T-4XE is a non-PoE model providing standard 10/100/1000BASE-T connectivity. The 5420F-48P-4XE variant adds 30W PoE+ (802.3at Type 2) to all 48 ports for powering access points and IoT devices. The 5420F-16W-32P-4XE offers mixed PoE with 16 ports at 90W (802.3bt Type 4) and 32 ports at 30W for higher-power device support.

What operating systems and software licenses are included with the 5420F-48T-4XE?

The switch includes Base software license with ExtremeSwitching operating system supporting both VOSS and ExtremeOS variants for flexible deployment. A 1-year XIQ Pilot subscription is included for cloud-based network management, analytics, and policy enforcement. Additional software licenses and subscriptions are available for advanced features and extended management capabilities.
