Extreme Networks ExtremeSwitching X695 56-port Switch

Intelligent L2/L3 Switching

The ExtremeSwitching X695 supports intelligent Layer 2 switching, as well as Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing, including policy-based switching and routing. The X695 can simplify network operation with its ExtremeXOS modular operating system, used across a wide range of ExtremeSwitching networking products. The high availability ExtremeXOS operating system reduces operational overhead with a single OS across the network.

High-Performance Stacking

The X695 supports either SummitStack-V400 or SummitStack-V160 high speed stacking via its 2 QSFP28 ports. Up to eight (8) X590, X690, X695 or X870 systems can be stacked when using SummitStack-V400. Alternatively, the X695 can cross-stack with X465 systems by using SummitStack-V160. Any of the supported QSFP28 direct attach cables and optical transceivers can be used for the stacking links.

Management

The X695 can be centrally managed by ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine which provides a consolidated view of users, devices and applications for wired and wireless networks. Zero touch provisioning lets one quickly bring new infrastructure online. A granular view of users, devices and applications with an easy to understand dashboard enables efficient inventory and network topology management.

Integrated Application Hosting

Extreme’s Integrated Application Hosting leverages the X695 operating software and hardware to provide on-switch processing without impacting switching or network performance. This flexible and open solution enables organizations to deploy Extreme-provided and/ or third-party applications and tools directly on the X695 system for monitoring, troubleshooting or extended network functionality, based on customer need.

Benefits of the Integrated Application Hosting on the X695 include:

• Flexible deployment of VM-based applications within the network using the hardware resources of the X695.
• Ability of VM-based applications to extract data without disrupting forwarding or control plane traffic within the X695.
• Availability of dedicated memory and SSD storage for flexible packet capture and off-line processing.

Audio Video Bridging

The X695 series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging to enable reliable, real-time audio/video transmission over Ethernet. AVB technology delivers the quality of service required for today’s high-definition and time-sensitive multimedia streams.

Network Intelligence

The X695 Series can provide insight and intelligence into the network via line-rate, hardware-accelerated sFlow support. With this capability, the X695 can deliver actionable insights into both network and application performance without the need for expensive sensors or collectors.
