I/O Modules

G48Pe I/O Module

The G48Pe I/O module (Figure 22) has 48 autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that use standard RJ-45 connectors. In addition to the Ethernet connection, these ports can deliver Power over Ethernet (PoE) to an attached device, using the same cable. The G48Pe I/O module supports the IEEE 802.3af PoE specification. When an 8800 series switch is running in dual-MSM mode, this module will be oversubscribed 2:1. When the switch is running a single MSM, this module will be oversubscribed 4:1.

When powered devices (PDs) are connected to a port, the PDs are discovered and classified as 802.3af-compliant or as legacy devices. ExtremeXOS implements the following functions:

●Enables the port for discovery, classification, and power delivery

●Enforces port power limits by denying power to a device exceeding the configured limit

●Enforces class limits by denying power to a device exceeding the class limit

●Reports and tracks port power faults

The default configuration of the G48Pe I/O module is as follows. All ports:

●Are added to the default VLAN as untagged

●Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (for example, protocol type and VLANid)

●Operate in autonegotiation mode

The G48Pe I/O module has the following LEDs:

●Module status

●Module diagnostics

●Port/Power status

8800 Series specifications

Extreme Networks 8800 Series is a robust family of network switches designed to cater to the demands of modern data centers and enterprise networks. Engineered for high performance, scalability, and reliability, these switches provide an ideal solution for organizations looking to enhance their network infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the 8800 Series is its high-performance architecture, which supports up to 10 terabits per second of switching capacity. This ensures that the switch can handle the increased bandwidth demands of today’s applications, such as cloud computing and big data analytics. The series also supports a wide range of interface options, including 1G, 10G, and 40G ports, allowing for flexible deployment in various network environments.

A critical advantage of the Extreme Networks 8800 Series is its advanced virtualization capabilities. It supports network virtualization technologies such as Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Segment Routing, which help create resilient, efficient, and scalable network topologies. These technologies not only reduce the complexity of the network but also enhance operational efficiency by simplifying the management of virtualized environments.

The 8800 Series comes with built-in cybersecurity features, ensuring that the network remains protected against growing threats. With capabilities such as IEEE 802.1X port authentication and advanced encryption standards, the series effectively secures data integrity and confidentiality. Additionally, Extreme’s “SecureStack” technology further bolsters security by providing robust access control mechanisms, ensuring that only authorized devices can connect to the network.

Another notable characteristic of this series is its Ethernet platform, which supports multigigabit Ethernet up to 100G, enabling organizations to future-proof their network infrastructure. The switches are designed with energy efficiency in mind, utilizing advanced power management technologies that reduce energy consumption and operating costs, making them environmentally friendly solutions.

The availability of centralized management through Extreme Networks’ management software simplifies the complexity of network operations. Features like Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) streamline deployment processes, allowing IT teams to quickly implement and configure devices with minimal manual intervention.

In summary, the Extreme Networks 8800 Series offers a comprehensive set of features and advanced technologies designed to meet the demands of high-performance networking. With its scalability, virtualization support, robust security measures, and energy efficiency, the 8800 Series stands out as a superior choice for organizations seeking to enhance their network capabilities and embrace the future of connectivity.
