Product Overview
The Extreme Networks B5 is a scalable, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet
switch that provides support for the bandwidth-intensive and latency-sensitive
requirements of today’s demanding business applications. The B5 is an excellent
choice for environments that require complete multi-layer switching capabilities
and support for high density 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, cost eective10GE
uplinks, dual IPv4/IPv6 management, basic routing and policy-based automation
capabilities for advanced edge deployments.
The B5 incorporates the new 802.3at high-power PoE on all ports, translating into
increased power provisioning for power-hungry devices such as Pan/Tilt/Zoom
(PTZ) IP surveillance cameras, IP videophones, third party 802.11n access points
and virtual desktops. Built-in high-power PoE support is a cost eective alternative
for customers in place of purchasing separate PoE midspans, which can take away
valuable rack space, add cost and contribute more cabling to the wiring closet.
The B5 provides high port density in a 1U footprint and is environmentally friendly
by design. The B5’s overall energy eciency is further enhanced by a low current
draw and an extreme tolerance for high environmental temperatures. A highly-
scalable architecture and a comprehensive lifetime warranty ensure that a B5
network investment will sustain a secure, feature-rich and cost-eective network
well into the future.
