Extreme Networks X460-G2-24t-GE4-Base: Advanced Edge Switching for Demanding Networks
1. Product Overview
The Extreme Networks X460-G2-24t-GE4-Base is a high-performance, fixed-form switch designed for advanced edge access and aggregation layers in enterprise networks. This switch delivers robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality, combining reliability, security, and scalability in a 1RU form factor. It supports 24x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, 8x 100/1000BASE-X SFP combo ports, and 4x 1GBase-X SFP ports, providing flexible connectivity options for diverse network environments. Powered by ExtremeXOS®, this Extreme switch ensures operational efficiency and continuous uptime, making it ideal for organizations requiring dependable network infrastructure.
2. Key Characteristics
- 24x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports with 4x combo SFP ports
- 4x 1GBase-X SFP uplink ports
- Non-blocking, wire-speed design with up to 224 Gbps switching capacity
- Support for PoE/PoE+ (on PoE models)
- Hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays for high availability
- Advanced security features including role-based policies and ACLs
- Flexible management via ExtremeCloud™ IQ, CLI, or web-based GUI
3. Core Technologies
The X460-G2 series leverages ExtremeXOS®, a resilient operating system supporting advanced features such as:
- IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and IEEE 802.3af PoE
- IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and SyncE
- Fabric Attach for automated edge provisioning
- SummitStack, SummitStack-V, and SummitStack-V160 stacking technologies
- IPv4 and IPv6 routing with ACLs and QoS
4. Working Principle
The X460-G2-24t-GE4-Base operates as a fully managed switch, processing traffic at Layers 2 and 3. It uses hardware-based forwarding to ensure low latency and high throughput. Traffic can be classified and prioritized using QoS policies, while security policies are enforced through role-based access control and ACLs. The switch supports stacking of up to 8 units, creating a unified management domain with high-bandwidth interconnects. Management can be performed on-device or through cloud-based tools like ExtremeCloud IQ.
5. Applications
This switch is suitable for:
- Enterprise edge and campus networks
- Medium to large business aggregation layers
- Educational institutions and healthcare facilities
- VoIP and video surveillance deployments
- Data center access layers
