Overview of the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches
The BlackDiamond switches are chassis-based, Ethernet service core switches designed for core
applications. For more information about configuring a BlackDiamond switch, see the
ExtremeXOS 12.0
Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide .
The features of these switches include:
●
I/O modules that are hot-swappable and include Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (10/100/1000) and
Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports (SFP), or 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports
●
Management Switch Fabric Modules (MSMs) that provide the active switching fabric and CPU
control subsystem
●
Redundant, load-sharing, hot-swappable power supplies
●
Field-replaceable, hot-swappable fan trays
●
Auto-negotiation for half-duplex or full-duplex operation on 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
●
Load sharing on multiple ports
The BlackDiamond 12800 series switches include two chassis models:
●
BlackDiamond 12804 switch chassis (see page 16 )
●
BlackDiamond 12802 chassis (see page 18 )
Full-Duplex Support
Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex support means that
frames can be transmitted and received simultaneously, which, in effect, doubles the bandwidth
available on a link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch will auto-negotiate duplex in the default
configuration. Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports operate only in full-duplex
mode in accordance with technical standards.
