Extreme Networks Data Sheet
Summit X250e series switches are based on
Extreme Networks
revolutionary ExtremeXOS
core-class operating system. ExtremeXOS is a
highly resilient, modular operating system that
helps provide continuous uptime, manageability
and operational efficiency at an affordable price.
Summit X250e provides high availability and
performance with its advanced traffic management
capabilities. Summit X250e supports the large-
scale rollout of a converged network with devices
such as IP telephones, wireless access points
and other devices that require power from a LAN
connection. Summit X250e-24x supports carrier
Ethernet edge deployment with its flexible fiber
connectivity options. Summit X250e-24x can
support 100BASE-FX, 100BASE-LX10 and
100BASE-BX on its SFP ports depending upon
deployment requirements.
Summit X250e supports hardware-based routing
for both IPv4 and IPv6 to help provide investment
protection by allowing the rollout of IPv6 in your
network now or in the future.
The highly flexible Summit X250e switch provides
high-density Fast Ethernet ports plus dedicated
40 Gbps high-speed stacking ports in a compact
1RU format, supporting a full range of Layer 2 to
Layer 4 functionality on every port for high
productivity. Optional redundant power supplies
are available with each switch to help secure
against power anomalies.
Target Applications
• Edge Power over Ethernet (PoE) and
non-PoE switch providing intelligent
10/100BASE-T connectivity to the desktop in
a network running ExtremeXOS from the
core to the edge
• Carrier Ethernet edge switching with
100BASE-X provides advanced fiber
connectivity to the customer for both AC and
DC powered environments
