What are the scaling limits for MAC, routes, and ACLs?

Supports up to 512K MAC addresses for Layer 2, 512K IPv4 routes for Layer 3, and 60K ACLs for security. Also handles 4,094 VLANs and 128 trunks (8 members each), enabling massive scale for enterprise aggregation without hardware limits.

What high availability features are included?

ExtremeXOS modular OS with EAPS and Spanning Tree protocols, internal redundant AC/DC power supply, and hot-swappable fan tray ensure carrier-grade uptime. Supports non-stop operation and sub-50ms failover for critical networks.

What stacking options are available?

Optional 40 Gbps stacking for up to 8 switches (384 Gigabit ports total) or 128 Gbps high-speed stacking. This creates a single logical switch, simplifying management and scaling port density in data centers or campuses.

What is the form factor and power setup?

1RU compact rackmount switch with internal redundant AC/DC power supply (100-240V, up to 200W consumption). Field-replaceable fan tray supports port-side or back-to-front airflow, ideal for dense installations.

What performance specs define this switch?

176 Gbps switch fabric, 224 Gbps aggregated bandwidth (up to 448 Gbps with modules), <4μs latency (64-byte), and 9216-byte jumbo frames. Layer 2/3 switching with MPLS/H-VPLS suits high-throughput enterprise use cases.

Product overview

The Extreme Networks Summit X480-24x is a fixed-configuration Gigabit Ethernet switch from the Summit X480 Series, designed for enterprise Layer 2/3 networking. It features 24 x 100/1000BASE-X unpopulated SFP ports, with the last 12 supporting shared 10/100/1000BASE-T copper connectivity, plus 2 x 10GBASE-X XFP uplinks. Supporting up to 512K MAC addresses, 512K IPv4 routes, and 60K ACLs, it enables scalable, secure Layer 2/3 switching and MPLS/H-VPLS. Powered by the modular ExtremeXOS operating system, it includes resiliency protocols like EAPS and Spanning Tree. The 1RU form factor houses an internal redundant AC/DC power supply and hot-swappable fan tray. Stacking options reach 40 Gbps for up to 8 units (384 ports) or 128 Gbps. With 176 Gbps switch fabric, <4μs latency, and jumbo frame support, it suits high-density Gigabit deployments in data centers, campuses, and aggregation layers requiring high availability and performance.
