Summit X430 Series Switches
The Summit X430 series switches provide 24, or 48 Ethernet ports that deliver high-density fast Ethernet
or Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T ports or 100/1000 BASE-X ports.
For all models, a serial console port on the front panel allows you to connect a terminal and perform
local management. An Ethernet management port can be used to connect the system to a parallel
management network for administration. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect this
port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch configurations.The rear panel provides
an AC power input socket.
The Summit X430 series switches include the following models:
● Summit X430-24t switch (page 50)
● Summit X430-48t switch (page 52)
Summit X430-24t Switch
The front panel of the Summit X430-24t switch (Figure 27) includes:
● Twenty-four fixed autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports (ports 1–24) that provide 24 Gbps of
high-density copper connectivity
● Four unpopulated 1000BASE-X unpopulated SFP ports (ports 25–28) that provide 4 Gbps of fiber
connectivity.
Ports 21 through 24 are implemented as shared ports that pair a copper port with a fiber port. For
more information about combination ports, see “Combination Ports and Failover” on page 22.
For information about SFPs, see the Extreme Networks Pluggable Interface Modules Installation Guide.
● Ethernet management port
● Serial console port implemented as an RJ-45 connector, used to connect a terminal and perform local
management
● LEDs to indicate port status and switch operating conditions
For a description of the LEDs and their operation, see “Summit X430 Series Switch LEDs” on
page 53.
