Overview:
The ExtremeSwitching X450-G2 series is based on Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS, a highly resilient OS that provides continuous uptime, manageability and operational efficiency. Each switch offers the same high-performance, non-blocking hardware technology, The X450-G2 series switches provide high-performance routing and switching, flexible stacking, PoE+ support and comprehensive security, while extending the benefits of ExtremeXOS to the campus edge.
The X450-G2 Series easy-to-use, yet powerful, management options include ExtremeCloudTM IQ and Extreme Management Center for either cloud-based or on-premise oversight and configuration. The X450-G2 also supports role-based policies and Fabric Attach for secure, automated access to specific network resources and applications.
Smart Management Choices
- ExtremeCloud⢠IQ for powerful, simple and secure public or private cloud management
- Extreme Management Center for centralized, unified management capabilities
Features:

High-Performance Stacking
Up to eight X450-G2 switches can be stacked using two different methods of stacking: SummitStack-V, and SummitStack-V84. Each X450-G2 unit comes equipped with 2 ports of 21 Gigabit stacking ports via a QSFP interface. Standard passive 40Gb copper cables can be used for stacking X450-G2s together.

Fabric Attach
Fabric Attach on the X450-G2 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 X450-G2 to take advantage of the virtualized services and inherent security capabilities of the Extreme Fabric Connect infrastructure.

Power over Ethernet
X450-G2 Series switches support both IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and IEEE 802.3af PoE to enable connection of standards compliant PoE devices. Power over Ethernet allows connection of Ethernet-powered devices, such as wireless access points, Voice over IP phones, and security cameras. The X450-G2 can support full PoE+ 30W power across all 24 or 48 ports using its internal power supplies.

Audio Video Bridging
The X450-G2 series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) to enable reliable, real-time audio/ video transmission over Ethernet. AVB technology delivers the quality of service required for todayās high-definition and time-sensitive multimedia streams.

Role-Based Policy
The X450-G2 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 and applications and these access privileges remain associated with users as they move across both wired and wireless network access points.

Management
The X450-G2 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.
ExtremeCloudTM IQ along with Extreme Management Center (XMC) provide a comprehensive unified management capability with a consolidated view of users, devices and applications for wired and wireless networks. Zero-touch provisioning lets one quickly bring new X450-G2 switches online and a granular view of devices, ports and users enables efficient inventory and network topology management.
