Where Does Networking Fit In? To gain the full benefits of cloud computing and virtualization and achieve a business agile IT infrastructure, organizations need a reliable, high-performance data center networking infrastructure with built-in investment protection. Several technology inflection points are coming together that are fundamentally changing the way networks are architected, deployed and operated both in the public cloud as well as the private cloud. From performance, to scale, to virtualization support and automation to simplified orchestration, the requirements are rapidly changing and driving new approaches to building data center networks.

With Extreme Networks, IT can manage more with less. Automated intelligence and analytics for compliance, forensics, and traffic patterns translates into reduced help desk calls. Businesses can predict costs and return on investment, and increase employee productivity by securely onboarding BYOD, increasing both customer and employee satisfaction. A constant risk to the network, and ultimately the hospital, are unapproved applications and rogue devices that may appear on the network and either permit unauthorized access or interfere with other devices. A means to monitor all devices and applications that operate across the network is vital. Just as important are the audit and reporting capabilities necessary to report on who, what, where, when, and how patient data is accessed.

What is SDN? What software-defined networking really means has evolved dramatically and now includes automation and virtualization. Hardware is still a critical component in data center networking equipment, but the influence of switch software shouldnt be overlooked. When everyone began to get excited about SDN a few years ago, we thought of it as only one thing: the separation of network control from network data packet handling. Traditional networks had already started down this path, with the addition of controller cards to manage line cards in scalable chassis-based switches, and with various data center fabric technologies. SDN took the idea to its logical end, removing the need for the controller and the packet handlers to be on the same backplane or even from the same vendor.

Cost. Reducing costs in the data center and contributing to corporate profitability is an increasingly important trend in todays economic climate. For example, energy costs for the data center are increasing at 12% a year. Moreover, increased application requirements such as 100% availability necessitate additional hardware and services to manage storage and performance thus raising total cost of ownership. 1Jeff Greens Point-of-View [email protected]

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" (technology built on need)

Their first international number 1 hit was "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"Caution: Extreme MetaphorWith switches the need is for speed...

11/13/2016 2"You Can't Always Get What You Want" is a song by the Rolling Stones on their 1969 album Let It Bleed. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it was named as the 100th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine in its 2004 list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". "Much has been made of the lyrics reflecting the end of the overlong party that was the 1960s, as a snapshot of Swinging London burning out. That's a valid interpretation, but it should also be pointed out that there's also an uplifting and reassuring quality to the melody and performance. This is particularly true of the key lyrical hook, when we are reminded that we can't always get what we want, but we'll get what we need. Still today, You Can't Always Get What You Want" (technology built on need) With switches the need is for speed...

Latency vs. Bandwidth - Although the theoretical peak bandwidth of a network connection is fixed according to the technology used, the actual bandwidth you will obtain varies over time and is affected by high latencies. Excessive latency creates bottlenecks that prevent data from filling the network pipe, thus decreasing effective bandwidth. The impact of latency on network bandwidth can be temporary (lasting a few seconds) or persistent (constant) depending on the source of the delays.Quality of service (QoS) is the overall performance of a telephony or computer network, particularly the performance seen by the users of the network.In a software-defined network, the data plane handles packets under the direction of a control plane, but the controllers are just applications that can run on standard x86 hardware. SDN controllers use a standard protocol (OpenFlow) to communicate with data plane devices. Other specialized network appliances -- like firewalls and load balancers -- that get recast as SDN applications also run on standard x86 hardware using the SDN controller to get the data plane devices to do what they need to do.

Extreme brings to market networking innovations for deploying voice and other demanding applications in your network. Right from the start of the company we focused on bringing innovations that solve real problems to our Education Customers. For example, key patents held by Extreme, introduced Quality of Service to the IP infrastructure. Extreme also introduced and patented a technology called Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching or EAPS. Jeff Greens Point-of-View [email protected]

Because XOS is modular, you limit the risk of hung processes causing switch failures; XOS will isolate and automatically restart a failed process without rebooting the entire switch And when youre working with a single operating system, you can increase your feature uptake and take full advantage of all the capabilities XOS offers. Transition into this slide prepared to build a strong case for why Network Powered (why do this within the network) as the ONLY way to achieve our results, and the only way to solve the problem we laid out in the first slides.

No vendor lock-in -ExtremeXOS allows you to grow your network on demand without downtime. The modular design allows for new applications, Extreme Modular Software Packages (XMOD), to be downloaded onto the switch and dynamically loaded and turned on, again without downtime. Scripting and Universal Port Manager (UPM) provide custom automation capabilities based on a trigger-action affect. UPM can detect a user defined action on a port, for instance a new connected device, and trigger the automat enabling the custom script. For example, if an IP Camera or a UC IP Handset is plugged into a switch port, UPM can detect this device via standards-based LLDP (802.1ab) and execute a set of actions, including a Quality of Service Profile and Power of Ethernet + (802.3at-2009 updated). Of course, these are not all the ExtremeXOS security features, just a sample of a relevant few for the Open Fabric Edge.

These new switches are strongly positioned in the IP Surveillance market. The ruggedized hardware design coupled with robust L2+ feature set including IP multicast, and high power POE+ (30W per port) along with the rest of the Extreme solution portfolio make the ISW family a strong competitor in this market. For best power and gigabit connectivity, I recommend a 12 port switches (PN 16804) with a 480W supply (PN 16920). As an option, the 240 watt supply can be used as a lower cost option if ambient temperature is below + 60C and if maximum 240 POE+ budget is not required.

These switches have unique and flexible power capabilities. The switches support DC input power natively. If the deployment only has AC power, there are AC-DC power supplies available to purchase. Optional accessories include a 240 Watt AC-DC power supply and a 480 Watt AC-DC power supply. Available output power degrades (decreases) as ambient temperature increases.From -20C to 60C full 240 watts availableFrom 60C to 70C output power decreases to 180 wattsFan-less Free Air Convection - Extended temperature range of -20C to 70C, these Switches and power supplies are fan-less.DIN rail or wall mountable, The switches ship by default with mounting hardware for DIN and wall mounting.

To determine if this adequate add POE budget required to base unit power requirement. Base unit requires 15 watts. Example - Switch needs to power five 30 watt PoE devices in 70C environment. Base Unit (15W) + 5x 30W POE+ (150W) = 165 watts 240 watt supply adequate. All switch models support a wide operating temperature range of 40C to 75C, and are DIN rail or wall mountable. The switches support DC input power, 1258VDC for non-POE applications and 50-58VDC for 30W PoE+ applications.

The EIC units were small enough to meet ARTICs requirements for ease of installation and small enough to install invisibly in the digital signs. The 1500 BTU output easily handled demanding continuous cooling requirements in the hot Southern California weather. With no compressors, refrigerant or filters, and no moving parts except for cooling fans, EIC thermoelectric units proved a low maintenance solution for ARTIC. Additionally, thermoelectric air conditioners have low power consumption which helps control energy costs.

Digital signage with 100% operational reliability is an important element to the success of the overall ARTIC project. Regarding the cooling of the signs, EIC worked closely with ARTIC design engineers to leave no doubts that all design and performance goals would be met or exceeded. EICs extensive electronics cooling experience and quality products have played a vital role in paving the way to a successful opening of the transportation center.

ReachNXT is impressive because it allows me to provide securewired access in our conference rooms for both employees and visiting auditors and consultants. Because it is visible and controlled by EPICenter, which we already use to manage our entire network, I can see where, plus what, is connected to the ReachNXT and maintain command of my campus network from end to end, which was impossible with off-the-shelf 10/100 hubs. Extreme Networks is pleased to announce the new Reach 100-8t switch.

Reach 100-8t is designed to extend the ExtremeXOS operating system to the access portion of the network and is targeted for in-room or local access such as conference rooms, casino floors, or manufacturing floors. Details on the switch hardware and features are towards the end of this document. Reach 100-8t is an 8-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch delivering outstanding performance in a simple enterprise access solution extending the revolutionary modular operating system, ExtremeXOS. Reach 100-8t can draw power from an upstream ExtremeXOS PoE switch through its 10/100/1000BASE-T port or from its AC power adapter. Below is a picture of Reach 100-8t.

The ReachNXT AC Adapter (12101) will be going End of Sale on September 30, 2016 or while supplies last. New regulations in the United States and Europe will keep us from shipping additional ReachNXT AC Adapters into our warehouses. We believe that we have sufficient inventory in the warehouses to meet the normal quarterly demands for the next two quarters. It is important to note that the majority of ReachNXT products were sold/deployed without the AC adapter and were powered via PoE. Extreme offers PoE switches across its complete portfolio as well as midspan power injectors so ReachNXT can continue to be sold and deployed beyond the End of Sale of the AC adapter.11/13/20166Jeff Greens Point-of-View [email protected]

Layer 2 switching uses the media access control address (MAC address) from the host's network interface cards (NICs) to decide where to forward frames. Layer 2 switching is hardware-based,[1] which means switches use application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs) to build and maintain filter tables (also known as MAC address tables or CAM tables). One way to think of a layer 2 switch is as a multiport bridge.

Advanced Functionality of the X440 Switches - The Summit X440 series extends the benefits of the ExtremeXOS operating system to the intelligent, affordable access edge. Running the same operating system as our flagship BlackDiamond X8 and other Summit switches, the Summit X440 series switches provide redundant power supplies, SummitStack capability, comprehensive security and high-performance routing and switching in a cost-effective, small access switch. The Summit X440 Series extends the intelligence, insight and control of Extreme Networks XOS to the access edge in a compact, cost-effective series of stackable switches. ExtremeXOS Operating System robust, modular operating system helps ensure uptime with process isolation, monitoring, and automatic restart.

Layer 3 switching is solely based on (destination) IP address stored in the header of IP datagram (see layer 4 switching later on this page for the difference). The difference between a layer 3 switch and a router is the way the device is making the routing decision. Traditionally, routers use microprocessors to make forwarding decisions, while the switch performs only hardware-based packet switching (by specialized ASIC with the help of content-addressable memory).[2] However, some traditional routers can have advanced hardware functions as well in some of the higher-end models.Eight fixed autosensing 100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports (ports 18). In addition to 8 Gbps of high-density copper connectivity, these ports also supports the PoE+ IEEE 802.3a standard and provide up to 30 Watts of power per port up to a total power budget of 170 Watts.Most models have two high-speed stacking ports that allow you to combine multiple units into a single SummitStack management entity. On the 8-port models, the stacking ports are on the front panel. On the 24 and 48 port 10-G models, the SFP+ 10G ports on the front panel can be used as alternate stack ports. On all other Summit X440 series switches (except the x440-L2-24t and x440-L2-48t which do not have stacking capability), the stacking ports are on the back panel. Stacking port locations are listed in the following table.8Jeff Greens Point-of-View [email protected]

Layer 4 switching means hardware-based layer 3 switching technology that can also consider the type of network traffic (for example, distinguish between HTTP, FTP or VoIP). Layer 4 switching provides additional datagram inspection by reading the port numbers found in the Transport layer header to make routing decisions (i.e. ports used by UDP or TCP). These port numbers are found in RFC 1700 and reference the upper-layer protocol, program, or application.The largest benefit of layer 4 switching is that the network administrator can configure a layer 4 switch to prioritize data traffic by application, which means a QoS can be defined for each user. For example, a number of users can be defined as a Video group and be assigned more priority, or band-width, based on the need for video conferencing.Layer 4 information has been used to help make routing decisions for quite a while. For example, extended access lists can filter packets based on layer 4 port numbers. Another example is accounting information gathered by open standards using sFlow provided by companies like Arista Networks or proprietary solutions like NetFlow switching in Cisco's higher-end routers.

Heat generated in the wiring closet increases when PoE is deployed. In order to achieve high availability it is essential to remove heat from the room and to maintain the equipment at a steady operating temperature. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends a maximum room temperature of 77F (25C) and an allowable maximum of 90F (32.2C).

Thermoelectric air conditioners are extremely reliable, with no moving parts except fans, no filters to change, no Freon or cooper tubing, have multiple mounting orientation options and no regular maintenance.

The new X450-G2 Summit switches provide 3.8 times the PoE+ power of the legacy B5 switches as well as twice the number of 10Gb Ethernet uplinks. All switches have dedicated high speed stacking ports on the rear panel (SummitStack-V84) that delivers 84Gb of stacking capacity across 21Gb coper cabling. With the 10Gb uplink models, stacking to other Summit switches can be done via SummitStack-V. The Summit X450-G2 switches are based on the revolutionary ExtremeXOS that runs across all of Extreme Networks Summit switches.

SummitStack-V provides flexible stacking over 10GbE. SummitStack-V is provided using two of the native 10 GbE ports on the faceplate as stacking ports, enabling the use of standard cabling and optics technologies used for 10 GbE SFP+, and offer long-distance 40 Gbps stacking connectivity of up to 40 km. SummitStack-V is compatible with Summit X440, X460, X460-G2, X480, X670, X670V, X670-G2 and X770 switches running the same version of ExtremeXOS. SummitStack-V enabled 10 GbE ports must be physically direct-connected.Chassis Like Stacking - Up to eight Summit X450-G2 switches can be stacked using two different methods of stacking: SummitStack-V, and SummitStack-V84. Each X450-G2 unit comes equipped with 2 ports of 21 Gigabit stacking ports via a QSFP interface. Standard passive 40Gb copper cables can be used for stacking X450-G2s together. Hot Swap Flexibility - Fan trays are NOT included in the base switches and must be ordered separately. Modular PoE Power Supplies are NOT included in the base switches and must be ordered separately.

Summit X450-G2 supports sophisticated and intelligent Layer 2 switching, as well as Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing including policy-based switching/routing, Provider Bridges, bidirectional ingress and egress Access Control Lists, and bandwidth control by 8 Kbps granularity both for ingress and egress. All models come equipped with either 4 ports of SFP+ 10 GbE or 4 ports of SFP 1GbE resident on the faceplate of each model. 11Jeff Greens Point-of-View [email protected]

Yes, the power supplies are hot-swappable. Due to thermal requirements, a slightly thicker gauge power cord is required.10G Density (aggregation) - Some models come equipped with either 4 ports of SFP+ 10 GbE on the faceplate of each model. Through an optional VIM slot, Summit X460-G2 switches can be equipped with an additional 2 ports of 10 GbE for a total of six 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the 10Gb uplink models.Optional Stacking - As another option, each unit can be equipped with 2 ports of QSFP+ 40 Gigabit Ethernet for uplinks or stacking. The Summit X460-G2 also supports high-speed 160 Gbps stacking, which is ideal for demanding applications where a high volume of traffic traverses through the stacking links, yet bandwidth is not compromised through stacking. SummitStack-V160 can support passive copper cable (up to 3m), active multi-mode fiber cable (up to 100m) and QSFP+ optical transceivers for 40 GbE up to 10km.40G Fan out to 10G - Can the 40Gb VIM be fanned out to 4 x 10Gb ports? No, the 40Gb VIM CANNOT be fanned out to 4 10Gb ports since only TWO ports on a VIM card are recognized by the switching ASIC.Modular fan tray - The fan trays are hot-swappable. What happens when a single fan in the fan tray fails? A system notification of a failed fan will be done. The switch can still operate safely, one failed fan but the customer should start planning to replace the fan module. PHYLESS Design - Are the 5 meter and 10 meter passive copper cables supported on all 10Gb Ethernet ports? No, the 5 and 10 meter passive cables are ONLY supported on the VIM-2x module. The front panel 10Gb ports are PHYLESS, so the maximum supported DAC length is 3 meters. Can the front panel 10Gb ports support LRM optics - No, the front panel 10Gb ports are PHY-less so LRM optics are NOT supported. The optional 10Gb Ethernet VIM (16711 Summit X460-G2 VIM-2x) does support LRM optics.Massive MAC Tables - How large is the MAC table in the X460-G2?

Cell Site Router and Aggregation Router will support the ITUs G.8032 standard for packet rings which adds resiliency to cell towers by enabling additional options for backhaul signals. He added that the G.8032 standard, derived from Extremes Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching, will give Extreme a head start on competitors working with the concept. Does the hardware timing module (16715) require the Timing Feature Pack (16755) and vice-versa? If the customer wants to support the 1588 Precision Timing Protocol, then the Timing Feature Pack (16755) is needed. If the customer is only wanting Synchronous Ethernet support, then the Timing Feature Pack is NOT needed. The VIM cards and the Timing module are NOT hot-swappable. There is a caution statement in the Quick Reference Guide and the Hardware Installation Guide that states: Be sure that power is turned off to the switch before inserting or removing any interface module options.

Why this mattersEverybody's going to be looking for an angle in the crowded market of Ethernet-based mobile backhaul. That's going to be doubly true while the whiff of Mobile World Congress is in the air.G.8032 is a standard, yes, but it's derived from EAPS, which gives Extreme a few years' head start in working with the concept. Moreover, Extreme's seem to be the first boxes supporting G.8032.G.8032 isn't a guaranteed hit. (Remember back when Resilient Packet Ring Technology seemed soooo important?) But for a company that's certainly no Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO), at a time when every boxmaker is going to be touting 4G backhaul -- heck, Ciera launched something today -- Extreme has a good sound bite to lean on. Whether it's a big deal or a niche remains to be seen.Extreme is a company in transformation, with a new CEO and some interesting technology acquired from Soapstone Networks.

The new architecture should also help operators lower management and maintenance costs; and cut the electricity bill and carbon dioxide emissions, according to Alcatel-Lucent. For example, centralizing part of the base station means maintenance staff won't have to visit every site when doing an upgrade. It also means operators won't have to negotiate and pay for space to put the equipment at every site.13Jeff Greens Point-of-View [email protected]

As the Wave 2 of 802.11ac WiFi is rolled out, traffic aggregated on APs will surpass multiple gigabits per second and require both the access point and the Ethernet switch ports to scale beyond 1G.

Will X620 support VXLAN? No, the switching technology in the X620 does not support VXLAN. At only 16 ports maximum, the X620 is targeted at enterprise edge and aggregation applications and is not targeted at data center Top of Rack applications.Will X620 support policy? Yes. Consult the data sheet for table sizes when designing a network that will support Policy.Is the X620 2.5/5Gb still autosensing from 10/100/1000/2.5/5/5? A: Yes but the X620 multi-rate Ethernet ports are 100Mb/1Gb/2.5Gb/5Gb/10Gb. 10Mb is not supported. Because PoE is a requirement, 2.5 and 5G is only supported on copper ports that will be connecting to APs and not on fiber ports.

The formation of the NBASE-T Alliance, which is targeting BASE-T technologies in the range of 2.5G to 5G, is a perfect example of Ethernets continuing expansion into an array of different application spaces, each with their own requirements and needs. It also demonstrates the synergy between Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 wireless technologies, as the introduction of IEEE 802.11ac will create a scenario where the wired uplinks from wireless access points will exceed the current bandwidth capabilities of todays Gigabit Ethernet networks. Cat 5e cabling, which is not specified to support 10GBASE-T operation, is commonly deployed in these networks infrastructures. Thus, there is an industry conundrum - how can an upgrade path be provided for this existing application space. This is a large opportunity, as the need will exist in a variety of use cases: corporate office spaces, carrier and municipal WiFi even sports stadiums.

We build better networks

Extreme is rethinking the data plane, the control plane, and the management plane. Extreme is a better mouse trap which delivers new features, advanced function, and wire-speed performance. Our switches deliver deterministic performance independent of load or what features are enabled. All Extreme Switches are based on XOS, the industries first and only truly modular operating system. Having a modular OS provides higher availability of critical network resources. By isolating each critical process in its own protected memory space, a single failed process can not take down the entire switch. Application modules can be loaded and unloaded without the need for rebooting the switch. This is the level of functionality that users expect on other technology. Reaching the twenty million port milestone is a significant achievement demonstrating how our highly effective network solutions, with rich features, innovative software and integrated support for secure convergence. VoIP/Unified Communica Fons/Infrastructure/SIP Trunking (SBC) Because of strong ROI, investment in this segment remains on a very strong growth trajectory.

Enterprises depend on modular switching solutions for all aspects of the enterprise network: in the enterprise core and data center, the distribution layer that lies between the core and wiring closet, and in the wiring closet itself. Modular solutions provide port diversity and density that fixed solutions simply cannot match. There are also high-capacity modular solutions that only the largest of enterprises and institutions use for high-density and high-speed deployments. Modular solutions are generally much more expensive than their fixed cousins, especially in situations where density or flexibility are not required.

Fixed-configuration stackable switches are typically cost- optimized, but they offer no real port diversity on an individual switch. Port diversity means the availability of different port types, such as fiber versus copper ports. Stackable switches have gotten better at offering port diversity, but they still cannot match their modular cousins. Many of these products now offer high-end features such as 802.3af PoE, QoS, and multi-layer intelligence that were only found on modular switches in the past. This is due to the proliferation of third-party merchant silicon in the fixed configuration market. Generally, a stack of fixed configuration switches can be managed as a single virtual entity. Fixed configuration switches generally cannot be used to provision an entire large enterprise, but instead are mostly used out at the edge or departmental level as a low-cost alternative to modular products.
