Fans
The SSA switch comes with two installed fan modules to cool the system. The direction of the fan
module airflow is reversible. By default airflows from the I/O port side to the power supply side of the
unit. If your SSA switch configuration requires power supply side to I/O port side airflow, see
on page 15 for details about how to reverse the fan module airflow.
The SSA fan modules are both field replaceable and hot swappable. For information on how to replace
SSA fan modules, see
on page 39.
Micro-USB Port
The micro-USB port is provided for local file transfer.
Management
You can manage the SSA switch either in-band or out-of-band.
In-band remote management is possible using the Extreme Networks’ Extreme Management Center
application or the command line interface (CLI) via Telnet.
Out-of-band management is provided through the RJ45 COM (Communication) port on the front panel
using a PC, a VT terminal, or a VT terminal emulator. For more information, see
on page 27.
Virtual Switch Bonding
For data center redundancy, you can configure two co-located SSA chassis to operate as a single logical
chassis managed by one IP address. This is known as a virtual switch bonded chassis. We recommend
connecting the chassis to each other by using at least two 10G ports on each SSA chassis.
For details on how to configure virtual switch bonding, see the
S-, K-, and 7100 Series Configuration
