Summit X450e series switches are based on the revolutionary ExtremeXOS core-class operating system from Extreme Networks®. ExtremeXOS is a highly resilient, modular operating system that provides continuous uptime, manageability and operational efficiency.

Summit X450e provides high availability and performance with its advanced traffic management capabilities to support large scale rollout of converged network that supports devices such as IP telephones, wireless APs and other devices that require power from a LAN connection. With low-latency line-rate performance, Summit X450e supports the 802.3af standards-based PoE on every port.

Summit X450e 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 X450e switch provides high-density gigabit plus dedicated 40 Gbps high-speed stacking ports and optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a compact 1RU format, supporting a full range of Layer 2 to Layer 4 functionalities on every port for high productivity. Optional redundant power supplies are offered with each switch to protect against power anomalies, providing a continuous operational network.
