Extreme Insight Architecture
The X465 Series supports Extreme's Insight Architecture. This architecture leverages the X465 Series hardware and software design to run onboard applications without impacting switch performance. X465 models with a quad-core processor can run a Guest VM directly on the switch in support third-party or customized applications to meet specific business or operational needs. This can help provide additional network insight or enable other network applications without the need for a separate hardware device.
-
Extended Edge Switching
All X465 models support Extended Edge Switching, an innovative solution that simplifies the deployment and operation of edge switches. As the controlling bridge of an Extended Edge solution, the X465 can be combined with Extreme's V300 and V400 Series access devices to create a single logical switch architecture.
-
VIM options for flexible uplinks
The X465 supports Versatile Interface Modules (VIMs) for its uplink ports - in addition to its two dedicated stacking ports. Each X465 model has a single VIM slot that can be used for uplinks.
-
MACsec link encryption
The X465 Series supports IEEE 80 2.1AE MACsec on its 10/100/1000 access ports, as well as on its modular uplink ports. MACsec is a hop-by-hop security capability which encrypts/decrypts packets between connected switches or devices. As a link-only encryption, the switches can still apply services to the packet, such as policy or QoS, without compromising the security of packets across the link. With support for both 128-bit and 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the X465 provides a secure link encryption.
-
Fabric Attach
Fabric Attach on the X465 can be used to automate the connection to Extreme's campus-based Fabric Connect solution. Fabric Attach not only provides zero-touch edge provisioning, it also allows the X465 to take advantage of the virtualized services and inherent security capabilities of the Extreme Fabric Connect infrastructure.
-
Role-based policy
The X465 supports role-based policies that can be centrally administered through the ExtremeControl policy manager. This policy framework empowers network administrators to define distinct roles or profiles to represent specific operational groups that may exist in an enterprise. Each defined role can then be granted individualized access to specific network services or applications and these access privileges remain associated with users as they move across both wired and wireless network access points.
-
Performance and scale management
The X465 can be managed in a variety of ways. Simple on-box management functions are delivered by a web-based GUI, and a generic CLI is available for manual configuration. ExtremeCloud IQ along with Extreme Management Center (XMC) also provide a comprehensive unified management capability with a consolidated view of users, devices and applications for wired and wireless networks.
-
Location LED
A location LED on the front panel of the X465 chassis can be used to quickly identify a specific X465 switch deployed in wiring closet or a stack.
