Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I upgrade the SFP+ ports to 10GbE?
A: A software license (e.g., Part #16541 for a quad upgrade) is required to activate 10GbE functionality on the four SFP+ ports.
Q: Can this switch stack with older Extreme models?
A: SummitStack-V allows it to stack with other X440-G2, X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, and X770 switches, provided they all run the same version of ExtremeXOS.
Q: What is the maximum power provided per PoE port?
A: It supports the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard, delivering up to 30W per port.
Q: Is redundant power an option?
A: Yes, an external Redundant Power Supply (RPS) like the RPS-500p or EPS-C2 can be added for power redundancy.
Q: Does it support audio and video streaming applications?
A: Yes, it supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) for prioritized, low-latency media traffic.
Critical Precautions
- Ensure adequate cooling and do not exceed the specified operating temperature range.
- When using 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceivers, populate every other port and leave adjacent ports unused for proper thermal management.
- Verify the total power draw of all connected PoE devices does not exceed the total 380W budget.
- Extended temperature models (0°C to 60°C) do not support 10GbE upgrades or stacking.
- Always use certified and compatible optical transceivers and cables for guaranteed performance.
