Overview of the Summit Switches

The Summit family switches are compact enclosures 1.75 inches high (1 U). They provide 24 or 48 high-density copper or fiber optic ports operating at speeds up to 10 Gbps, with combination copper/fiber uplink ports. PoE connections and options for adding 10-Gbps or 100 Gbps uplink connections are available on some models. Many Summit switches include high-speed stacking interfaces that allow you to connect up to eight Summit switches into a single SummitStack™ management entity. Summit models are available for AC or DC power connection; all Summit switches make provision for redundant power supplies. Most models have connections for optional external redundant power supplies; the Summit X480 series and X650 series switches provide two bays for pluggable power supplies.

Most Summit models are available in versions that are compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA); these versions are identified by a -TAA suffix on the model number. Functionally, the TAA-compliant models are completely equivalent to the matching versions that are not TAA-compliant. In all feature descriptions, references to a specific Summit switch model also apply to the equivalent TAA-compliant model.

Table 3 and Table 4 on page 14 and Table 5 on page 15 list the Summit switch series and summarize the features available in each series.
