Extreme Networks X670-G2 Series
The X670-G2 series switches are versatile, purpose-built top-of-rack and aggregation switches designed to support emerging 10 Gigabit Ethernet enabled servers in enterprise and cloud data centers.
The X670-G2 product family provides high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40 Gigabit Ethernet switching in a small 1RU form factor. With its versatile design, the X670-G2 series provides high density Layer 2/3 10Gb networking with low latency cut-through switching, and IPv4 and IPv6 unicast and multicast routing to enable enterprise aggregation and core backbone deployment in AC-powered and DC-powered environments.
The X670-G2 series simplifies network operation with the ExtremeXOS modular operating system (OS), which is used among Extreme Networks’ ExtremeSwitching products. The high availability ExtremeXOS operating system provides simplicity and ease of operation through the use of one OS everywhere in the network.
The X670-G2 series consists of two models:
- The X670-G2-48x-4q supports 48 ports of 1Gb/10Gb SFP+ plus four QSFP+ ports of 40 GbE in a single compact 1RU system. Each 40 Gigabit Ethernet port can be independently configured as 40 Gigabit Ethernet or 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
- The X670-G2-72x supports an industry-leading 72 ports of native 1Gb/10Gb SFP+ in a single compact 1RU system without the requirement to use break-out cables to achieve high density 10Gb connections.
The X670-G2 series can serve as a:
- Top-of-rack switch for servers in enterprise and cloud data centers
- High-performance 10GbE core switch for a small network
- High-performance 10GbE aggregation switch in a traditional three-tiered network
