Several dierent hardware accessories are available for expanding the capabilities of your Extreme
Networks switch. Collectively, they are referred to as expansion modules.
• The LRM/MACsec Adapter
oers:
◦ Increased flexibility by supporting 10Gb Long Reach Multimode (LRM) connections. The adapter
plugs into SFP+ ports that do not support LRM, eectively turning them into LRM-capable ports.
◦ Improved security through MACsec link encryption for connections leaving a building or campus.
• Port option cards and versatile interface modules (VIMs) are installed in dedicated slots at the back
of the switch to provide optional I/O ports or stacking ports. These optional items add 10-Gbps
copper or
fiber I/O ports to the back panel of compatible switches. If no card or module is installed,
the option slot is covered by a blank panel.
• Solid-state Drives (SSDs) provide modular storage support.
• The TM-CLK Clock Module is required for Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) processing on the X460-G2
switch.
For information about option cards, VIMs, and stacking modules that work with other Extreme
Networks switches, refer to ExtremeSwitching and Summit Switches: Hardware Installation Guide for
Switches Using ExtremeXOS 16 or Earlier.
