When running Fabric Engine, the stacking (or Universal Ethernet) ports are reserved for use by
advanced features on the switch by default. For more information, see the advanced-feature-
bandwidth-reservation Boot Flag documentation in the Fabric Engine User Guide for your version of the
Fabric Engine operating system located at https://www.extremenetworks.com/support/
documentation/fabric-engine/.
Stacking cables for 5720 switches are ordered separately.
For information about QSFP28 and QSFP+ optical modules, see the Extreme Optics website.
Operating Temperatures
All 5720 switch models support an operating range from 0°C to 50°C. Temperature restrictions apply
for some models at high altitudes.
Feature Licensing
The ExtremeSwitching 5720 Series switches support Unified Licensing, so that you can use them with
multiple operating systems. There are two methods of acquiring feature licenses: manual or through
ExtremeCloud IQ™ (XIQ).

For Fabric Engine licensing, see the Fabric Engine User Guide for your version of the Fabric Engine
