Product overview

The Extreme Networks 5420F-24S-4XE is a high-performance, feature-rich stackable edge switch from the 5420 Series Universal Switch Platform, optimized for next-generation digital enterprises. It features 24x unpopulated 100/1000BASE-X SFP ports that are MACsec-capable for secure fiber connectivity, complemented by 4x unpopulated 1/10Gb SFP+ uplink ports and 2x stacking/SFP-DD ports enabling up to 80Gbps stacking across eight units. With non-blocking wire-speed L2/L3 forwarding, it supports advanced policy enforcement, end-to-end network segmentation, and Fabric Connect automation. Key capabilities include 32K MAC addresses, 4K VLANs, 8 QoS queues per port, and robust scaling for IPv4/IPv6 routing. Ideal for enterprise campus edges, it powers secure, scalable deployments with fixed PSU (one internal, one slot), fixed fans, OOB management, and dual OS choice: Switch Engine or VOSS Fabric Engine. Benefits include simplified operations via XIQ cloud management, zero-touch provisioning, and MACsec encryption across access/uplinks for compliance-driven environments.
