Summit X250e series switches are based on the revolutionary ExtremeXOS® core-class operating system from Extreme Networks®. 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 APs 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 provided with each switch to help secure against power anomalies.
