Extreme Networks 15101 Summit X250e-24t Network Switch

The Extreme Networks 15101 Summit X250e-24t is a high-performance stackable edge switch designed for enterprise networks requiring high-speed connectivity and advanced Layer 2-4 switching capabilities. It features 24 ports of 10/100Base-T Ethernet along with 2 unpopulated 1000Base-X SFP ports for high-speed fiber uplinks. Additionally, the unit is equipped with two dedicated SummitStack stacking ports, allowing up to eight units to be combined into a single logical device with high-bandwidth throughput. This switch is powered by the ExtremeXOS modular operating system, which ensures continuous uptime, manageability, and operational efficiency through its advanced scripting and automated configuration capabilities.The Summit X250e-24t provides comprehensive security features, including Identity Management, Network Login, and 802.1x authentication, to protect the network edge from unauthorized access. It supports advanced Quality of Service (QoS) with eight hardware queues per port, enabling granular traffic prioritization for Voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing applications. The hardware architecture is designed for low latency and wire-speed performance, supporting 4,096 VLANs and jumbo frames for optimized data transport. For hardware redundancy, the switch includes a connector for an external redundant power supply (EPS-160 or EPS-500), ensuring mission-critical reliability and protection against power failures.

Managed via a command-line interface (CLI), SNMP, or a web-based GUI, the 15101 offers extensive diagnostic and monitoring tools. The compact 1U form factor and efficient thermal design make it suitable for deployment in space-constrained wiring closets and high-density rack environments. It supports IPv4 and IPv6 management, along with sophisticated loop protection and Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) for resilient ring topologies. This network switch is an ideal solution for organizations looking to deploy a scalable and secure edge infrastructure with carrier-grade management features.
