The Summit X460-G2 series is based on Extreme Networks revolutionary ExtremeXOS, a highly resilient OS that provides continuous uptime, manageability, and operational efficiency. Each switch offers the same high-performance, non-blocking hardware technology, in the Extreme Networks tradition of simplifying network deployments through the use of common hardware and software throughout the network. The Summit X460-G2 switches are effective campus-edge switches. The Summit X460-G2 series is also an option for DSLAM or CMTS aggregation, or for active Ethernet access. The Summit X460-G2 can also be used as a top-of-rack switch for many data center environments with features such as high-density Gigabit Ethernet for concentrated data center environments; high-capacity scalability for highly virtualized data centers; and intra-rack and cross-rack stacking with industry-leading flexibility.

High-performance stacking Up to eight Summit X460-G2 switches can be stacked using three different methods of stacking.
Intelligent switching and MPLS/H-VPLS support Summit X460-G2 supports sophisticated and intelligent switching, as well as routing including policy-based switching/routing, Provider Bridges, bidirectional ingress and egress Access Control Lists, and bandwidth control granularity both for ingress and egress. To provide scalable network architectures used mainly for Carrier Ethernet network deployment, Summit X460-G2 supports MPLS forwarding and Hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS) for transparent LAN services.
IEEE 802.3at PoE plus IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet has been widely used in the campus enterprise edge network for Ethernet-powered devices such as wireless access points, Voice over IP phones, and security cameras. Ethernet port extenders such as Extreme Networks can also utilize PoE, making installation and management easier and reducing maintenance costs.
Precision time protocol (PTP) Summit X460-G2 offers Boundary Clock (BC), Transparent Clock (TC), and Ordinary Clock (OC) for synchronizing phase and frequency and allowing the network and the connected devices to be synchronized down to microseconds of accuracy over Ethernet connection.
Audio video bridging (AVB) The X460-G2 series supports Audio Video Bridging to enable reliable, real-time audio/video transmission over Ethernet. AVB technology delivers the quality of service required for today's high-definition and time-sensitive multimedia streams.
