The X460-G2 series switch from Extreme Networks, model X460-G2-48P-10GE4, is a high-performance, scalable fixed-form switch designed for advanced edge access and aggregation. The device offers 48-port Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and features four 10Gb SFP+ or 1Gb SFP ports located on the front panel, supporting additional 10Gb or 40Gb uplink connections via the optional VIM module.

The X460-G2-48P-10GE4 switch is based on Extreme Networks’ ExtremeXOS® operating system, providing continuous high availability, manageability, and operational efficiency. It features a non-blocking, line-speed design and supports hot-swapable power supplies and fan trays for front-to-back or rear-to-front airflow directions. In addition, the switch supports SyncE G.8232 and IEEE 1588 PTP time synchronization, ensuring secure, automated access to network applications or services.

The intelligent switching features of this series of switches include complex Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing, role-based policy capabilities, bidirectional access control lists, and fine-grained inlet/outlet bandwidth restrictions for fine-grained traffic control and secure access to network services and resources.
