V300 Virtual Port Extender
Bridge port extenders (BPEs) are devices that do not fully process packets, nor make forwarding or
filtering decisions. Instead, they simply receive packets from extended ports and forward packets
toward the upstream controlling bridge (an ExtremeXOS-based switch) for L2/L3 processing. This
scheme, based on the IEEE 802.1BR specification, is known as extended edge switching.
The V300 Virtual Port Extender oers the following models:
• V300-8P-2X Model on page 141
•
V300-8T-2X Model on page 142
• V300-8P-2T-W Model on page 143
• V300HT-8P-2X Model on page 143
• V300HT-8T-2X Model on page 145
In general, the V300 Virtual Port Extender
oers the following features:
• Eight 10/100/1000BASE-T half/full duplex ports or 10/100/1000BASE-T half/full duplex PoE+ ports
• Two 10Gb SFP+ uplinks
• PoE+ power on some models
• Fixed internal power-supply (non-PoE models), fanless
With the exception of the V300-8P-2T-W model, the V300 Virtual Port Extender requires that
ExtremeXOS (EXOS) version 30.5 (or later) be installed on the switch to which it is attached. For more
information about
configuring EXOS for use with this equipment, see the ExtremeXOS 30.7 User Guide.
V300-8P-2X Model
The Virtual Port Extender V300-8P-2X model oers the following features:
• Eight 10/100/1000BASE-T half/full duplex PoE+ ports
• Two 10Gb SFP+ ports
• One USB port
• One console/management port
• One DC input port
The V300-8P-2X model requires that ExtremeXOS (EXOS) version 30.6 (or later) be installed on the
switch to which it is attached. For more information about
configuring EXOS for use with this
equipment, see the ExtremeXOS 30.7 User Guide.
The V300-8P-2X model is shipped with one 40W AC PS FRU (Model XN-ACPWR-280W).
