Overview:
The 5320 Series is a family of feature-rich edge switches designed for the next-generation digital enterprise. As a universal hardware platform, the 5320 Series end-to-end secure network segmentation, in addition to advanced policy capabilities, and offers a user-selectable choice of Extremeās flagship switch operating systems. This makes the 5320 a uniquely flexible platform that can be deployed across a range of edge and wiring-closet environments.
The 5320 Series includes fixed 16, 24, and 48-port 1 Gigabit models that are available in 30W PoE and non-PoE versions. The family also includes 16 port PoE models available with either AC or DC power options.
Universal Hardware Platform
The 5320 Series comes with a dual-persona capability allowing user choice of the switch operating system (OS). Either the Switch Engine (EXOS)* or Fabric Engine (VOSS)* persona can be enabled on 5320 hardware models. The desired persona can be selected at start-up or changed at a later stage. Once selected, the 5320 assumes the features/capabilities of the selected OS.
5320 persona activation can be done manually at boot-up, including via the system CLI. Or, it can be automated by pre-provisioning the 5320 persona in ExtremeCloud IQ. When first booted, the 5320 automatically connects to ExtremeCloud IQ to find its persona. The pre-provisioned OS persona is then remotely enabled on the 5320 system ā eliminating the need for manual selection.
Features:
Silent Operation
Silent mode operation at temperatures up to 35ā°C is supported on 5320 16-port AC and DC-powered models. This makes these models ideal for classrooms, hospitality suites, retail sites or other noise sensitive environments, especially outside of the wiring closet environment.
Universal Hardware
The 5320 as a universal hardware platform simplifies your deployment experience through powerful cloud management and simplified licensing. It also helps avoid technology lock-in by enabling you to select your desired use case through a simple change of operating software and/or feature set. A 1-year ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot subscription is also included with each 5320 switch.
High-Performance Stacking
Two of the 5320ās built-in SFP+ uplink ports can be used for high-speed stacking when running Switch Engine (EXOS). Up to eight systems can be stacked using qualified 10Gb direct attach cables and optical transceivers. (Note: Stacking is not supported when running Fabric Engine (VOSS)).
