DESIGNED FOR CONVERGED SERVICES

The convergence of traditionally non-LAN services on top of growing ENTERPRISE applications brings greater demands, responsibilities, and threats to the network infrastructure. The Summit 400-24p, designed for convergence, provides the mandatory resiliency to keep applications available, delivers the features and performance to support converged services, and provides unique protection from security threats.

RESILIENCY TO SUPPORT CONVERGENCE

Link Redundancy
Proper support for converged services requires link resiliency, which the Summit 400-24p provides through an extensive set of Layer 1 through Layer 3 link redundancy options, for example:
 

Layer 1: Software redundant port, so simple and easy to deploy that it requires no supporting protocols or timers to configure.
Layer 2: Standard spanning tree and rapid spanning tree, plus the EXTREMEly fast convergence of EAPS which is capable of preserving sessions of latency sensitive applications such as voice-over-IP (VoIP) through link failure.
Layer 3: OSPF Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) which doubles the throughput of redundant links, VRRP for layer 3 dual homing, and ESRP which supports dual homing at both Layer 2 and Layer 3.

Rapid Convergence Resiliency
The Summit 400-24p provides Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS), the RFC 3619 link layer resiliency protocol pioneered by EXTREME Networks. Since EAPS fails over in less than 50 milliseconds in most deployments, the Summit 400-24p recovers from faults without disrupting latency-sensitive sessions such as VoIP calls. This ensures toll-quality voice and picture-perfect video.

Redundant Power Supplies
The Summit 400-24p backs up its PoE with fully redundant EPS-LD power supplies that sustain full class 3 PoE, undisturbed by outages from a single power source. This assures that business goes on, data is not disrupted, and critical converged services are constantly present.

PERFORMANCE TO SUPPORT CONVERGED SERVICES

Quality of Service (QoS)
EXTREME Networks pioneered quality of service (QoS) over local area networks, with every EXTREME Networks switch having been built from the ground up to deliver superior QoS. The Summit 400-24p is no exception, with its eight hardware QoS queues for finest granularity of prioritized traffic forwarding. Utilizing the power of eight QoS queues is the packet intelligence of EXTREMEWare®, which is able to examine packets from Layer 2 to Layer 4 in the processes of classifying traffic. With a powerful classification engine and fine queue granularity, Summit 400-24p provides consistent and timely packet delivery required to support converged services.

Minimized Latency
Latency and jitter can be lethal to real-time applications such as voice and video. The Summit 400-24p was designed around a low latency and low jitter architecture in spite of the wealth of services it delivers. In particular, the UniStack stacking architecture was designed so that forwarding is always performed locally when the destination port is known, and when packets have to pass through the stack they always take the shortest path.

Non-Blocking Forwarding
High-performance starts with a non-blocking architecture as delivered by the Summit 400-24p. Since any access switch that properly supports converged services must also examine every packet to for QoS and security, the ability to apply these features without degrading switch performance is even more important. The Summit 400-24p supports all security, QoS, and management features at full line rate, with no negative effect on applications.

SECURITY TO PROTECT CONVERGED LAN

Line Rate Access Control Lists (ACLs)
ACLs are one of the most powerful tools to control network resource utilization and to secure and protect the network. Summit 400-24p supports up to 1,512 ACLs based on Layer 2, 3 or 4-header information such as the MAC address, IP source/destination address, or protocol.

Intelligent Network Access
Summit 400-24p supports a comprehensive range of Network Login options by providing an 802.1x agent-based approach, a web-based (agent-less) login capability for guests, and a MAC-based authentication model for devices. With these modes of Network Login, only authorized users and devices can connect to the network and be assigned to the appropriate VLAN.

Multiple Supplicant Support
Multiple supplicant support secures IP telephony and wireless access. Converged network designs often involve the use of shared ports. Shared ports represent a potential vulnerability in a network. Multiple supplicant capability on the Summit 400-24p switch allows it to uniquely recognize and apply the appropriate policies for each user or device on a shared port.

Media Access Control (MAC)
The MAC address security/lockdown feature enables Summit 400-24p to block access to any Ethernet port when the MAC address of a station attempting to access the port is different from the configured MAC address. This feature is used to “lock down” a device like an IP telephone, an AP or a server to a specific port.

Host Integrity Checking
Host integrity checking helps keep infected or non-compliant machines off the network. Summit 400-24p supports a host integrity or end point integrity solution that is based on the Trusted Computing Group model.

Denial of Service (DoS) Protection
If a Summit 400-24p switch detects an unusually large number of packets in the CPU input queue, it will assemble ACLs that automatically stop these packets from reaching the CPU. After a period of time, the ACLs are removed. If the attack continues, they are reinstalled.

MD5 Authentication of Routing Protocols
MD5 authentication of routing protocols prevents attackers from tampering valid messages and attacking routing sessions.

 

Cost-Effective Network Design Using the Summit 400 Series
The Summit 400 series of switches allows the traditional edge layer and aggregation layer of the network to be collapsed into a single access layer. A two-tier network that consists of an access layer and a core layer can reduce the number of switches required and hence reduce the network acquisition costs and network management costs. Depending on the size and geographic reach of the network, a two-tier network can be the most cost-effective design for a corporate network. The Summit 400 series of switches are also designed to reduce CapEx and OpEx as demonstrated by the following features:
 
All Summit 200s, 300s, and 400s share the same operating system and network management software thereby simplifying the management of the access layer
The stackable Summit 400 family provides the convenience of a chassis at the price point of stackable switches
Modular External Power System with simple plug and play installation makes upgrading or maintaining redundant power on the Summit 400 family easy

UNIFIED ACCESS FOR WIRED AND WIRELESS

Networks are undergoing a transition from simple Fast Ethernet data connectivity to converged services and new applications over LAN, which demand new infrastructure services: PoE, wireless access support, Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop, or all of these. The Summit 400-24p provides all of these services in one multi-dimensional platform.

SUPPORT FOR EVOLVING DESKTOP

Legacy Support
With plug-and-play auto-sense on every port, attaching legacy devices is easy. With the Summit 400-24p, existing 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps devices are transparently supported, and new security and management benefits become immediately available.

Gigabit Evolution
Gigabit Ethernet is a mature technology that provides the highest available bandwidth to the desktop. The combination of low-cost Gigabit Ethernet NICs and embedded gigabit interfaces, and ever more bandwidth hungry ENTERPRISE applications, is driving the demand for gigabit to the desktop for which the Summit 400-24p is the perfect switch, with its line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, and QoS and resiliency to support for demanding applications.

Future Applications
The Summit 400-24p already provides low latency and jitter plus the ability to prioritize based on an extended set of packet header information that the most challenging of future applications is likely to present. This combination of performance plus packet intelligence, coupled with line rate forwarding and support for powered devices, makes the Summit 400-24p an easy choice to future-proof the LAN access layer for future converged applications such as IP telephony.

INTEGRATED WIRELESS SUPPORT

Security
Excellent wireless support starts with excellent security, and the Summit 400-24p provides industry-standard security capabilities including flexible authentication options like:
 

Hardware accelerated RC4 and AES encryption
Reliable authentication with multiple supplicant Network Login, both 802.1x and browser-based, that won’t allow unauthenticated LAN access
MAC security to link and lock a device to its port
Perimeter defense through rogue access point detection that foils attempts to bypass security
Thin wireless access points to prevent thefts of critical security parameters

Mobility
Mobile applications such as hospital patient care equipment, retail POS or inventory devices, Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) phones, or handheld PDAs require quality of service and the ability to roam between access points. The Summit 400-24p provides seamless transfer between access points. This enables users to gain productivity while flexibly moving throughout the facility.

Availability
To assure constant availability of wireless access, the Summit 400-24p provides a plethora of redundancy features including common spanning tree and rapid spanning tree that are commonly provided, and much more. For example, Software Redundant Port makes one link redundant to another very simply, with no protocol overhead. For latency sensitive applications, EAPS is capable of failing over in 50 milliseconds, fast enough to sustain a VoIP session. At Layer 3 there are three more options: OSPF ECMP, VRRP, and ESRP, for incredibly scalable deployment of link resiliency.

POWER OVER GIGABIT ETHERNET

Telecommunications Over LAN
Deployments of IP telephony depend on reliable consistent power from the Ethernet jack. Analog phones are similarly line powered, a feature that centralizes power and simplifies providing redundant power. The Summit 400-24p is the basis for a reliable LAN telephony infrastructure, with fully redundant 15.4 watts per port, and QoS and resiliency to match the failover requirements for latency-sensitive services like voice over IP (VoIP) phones.

Voice Grade Connections
Granular QoS, low latency, and low jitter enable voice quality connections. Summit 400-24p supports a range of QoS technologies that can prioritize and predictably handle high priority traffic—policing or rate limiting on ingress, 802.1q tagging and DiffServ marking, and shaping on egress with eight queues per port. The EXTREME Networks tradition of building products with low latency and jitter continues with the Summit 400-24p—allowing network managers to build networks with low end-to-end latency and jitter.

Deployment Simplicity
Wireless APs and security devices such as card readers and security cameras are commonly deployed in locations where it is inconvenient and costly to deploy redundant, reliable power. With the Summit 400-24p, deployment of powered LAN devices is quick and easy with its support of the IEE 802.3af standard and full Class 3 power availability on all ports, backed up 100% by the EPS-LD redundant power supply.

Unified Access Architecture (UAA)
UAA features are supported by Summit 400-24p so that ENTERPRISEs can implement a single, secure and seamless network for wired and wireless network access, rather than having to operate two separate or parallel networks.

Universal Access Port
The Summit 400-24p offers the Universal Access Port ö high-performance gigabit to the desktop, PoE, and wireless support from every RJ45 port. Installing universal services ports everywhere for data and device power greatly simplifies installations and moves and future-proofs your edge network. The Summit 400-24p provides universal attachment at any desktop Ethernet speed, any power level from none to full 15.4 watts, with support for wired or wireless access.

 

Unified Access Architecture ö Enabling the Universal Port
Unified Access Architecture, the innovative edge architecture from EXTREME Networks, is designed for ENTERPRISEs that need a single, secure and seamless network for both wired and wireless network access, rather than having to operate two separate or parallel networks. Through this unified approach, you have the freedom to extend your network edge for wireless access, LAN telephony, PDAs and other devices without compromising security, scalability, availability, mobility or management. UAA implements our vision of a universal port on the wall to which you can connect a traditional PC, an IP telephone or a lightweight access point.

UAA centralizes the management and operation of wired and wireless networks into the wiring closetâs Layer 3 access switches, on both fixed form factor and chassis based products. The universal Ethernet jack is designed to deliver consistent security, user authentication and QoS policy for a multitude of devices that access the network using wired or wireless media.

SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT

Network management and maintenance can be challenging, especially for IT departments managing complex converged networks while under the pressure to reduce staff and expenses. For all organizations, any repetitive management operation taxes skilled resources, draining valuable productivity. The Summit 400-24p offers relief through the management simplification provided by UniStack stacking. By making a stack of switches appear to be a virtual modular switch, the EXTREMEWare UniStack architecture allows all ports in the stack of switches to be configured in one management session.

UNISTACK STACKING REDUCES COMPLEXITY

Single Point of Management
With UniStack, up to eight EXTREME Networks Summit switches—including the Summit 400 and Summit 200 families and the Summit 300-24—appear as a single network element managed through a single IP address, with the stack representing a single managed object inside an ENTERPRISE management tool such as EPICenter® management suite from EXTREME Networks. Having a single IP address for configuration, changes and upgrades reduces complexity and saves time.

Easy Adds/Drops
UniStack stacking simplifies network expansions or changes. Adding new access ports to the LAN is as simple as turning on stacking in a new Summit 400-24p and adding it to an existing stack, similar to adding a new module to a modular switch, except that no space-consuming chassis is required. Similarly, moving the Summit 400-24p to a new location is convenient, since the transferred switch can stand alone or become part of another stack.

Simple Redundancy Enhancement
Because a stack of Summit 400-24ps represents an n-times replication of traffic processors, management processors, memory and power supplies, the net resiliency of a UniStack stack is greater than the sum of its parts. Add to this the ability to distribute redundant uplinks on different switches and availability goes up even more, compared to a standalone switch.

Highly Reliable Architecture
UniStack stacking on Summit 400s is a highly resilient bi-directional full-duplex ring architecture with n-1 stack master redundancy designed to survive the failure of a stacking link or switch in the stack. With a nominal transfer rate of 20 gigabits per second (Gbps) and instantaneous transfers of 40 Gbps per switch, a stack of eight switches can transfer up to 160 Gbps through the stack with highly reliable, completely distributed, shortest path forwarding.

COMMON MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

Common Command Line Interface (CLI) Edge to Core
The Summit 400-24p operates with the awardwinning EXTREMEWare software. EXTREMEWare gives the Summit 400-24p the same administrative interface as any EXTREMEWare switch running in the network. This common interface reduces training time, time to configure or update, and management overhead.

Common Feature Set
The common feature set that the Summit 400-24p shares with other EXTREME Networks switches, controlled by license levels, simplifies and reduces the cost of managing an EXTREME Networks powered LAN. The Summit 400-24p delivers a rich suite of features spanning the range of protocols to intelligently overseeing traffic, consistent and simple to deploy, enabling efficient, productive LAN management.

Common Management
EXTREME Networks EPICenter® ENTERPRISE LAN manager supports the Summit 400-24p, either individually or in UniStack stacks, providing a global view to enhance IT staff productivity. Whether the LAN is managed via serial port, web, telnet or a network manager like EPICenter, EXTREMEWare included with the Summit 400-24p provides a uniform interface for common management, thus reducing the cost of management.

UNIFIED MANAGEMENT

Link Layer Discovery Protocol
By incorporating LLDP, the Summit 400-24p reduces networking expenses by enabling plug and play installation of network devices, simplifying maintenance and reducing troubleshooting time. With its support of IEEE 802.1ab LLDP simplifies deployment of VoIP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and any device that supports this vendorindependent protocol.

Integrated Wireless Management
The Summit 400-24p Advanced Edge feature set includes integrated wireless management to configure, control, and secure the wireless portion of the LAN. When used with EXTREME Networks Altitude APs it provides a high level of assurance that the LAN is secure from intrusion and security breaches. For example, rogue access points can be detected, located, and de-activated using the CLI and/or EPICenter.

Desktop Access Management
Using ACLs to examine Layer 2, 3, and 4 packet header information for security and traffic classification, establishes the Summit 400-24p as a premier access switch. Its ability authenticate users essential at the LAN edge, separates the Summit 400-24p from the pack. These features and more, available in the EXTREMEWare operating system shipped with the Summit 400-24p, provide the full and robust access management that sets Summit 400-24p apart from others.

Power Management
Summit 400-24p provides a concise feature set to manage PoE. Before providing power it can automatically discover PoE devices and their class level, and provide the right amount of power. It can allow or disallow devices that don’t comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard and power cycle a device attached to a port without disrupting data flow through the port. Administrators can set port power limits or just allow them to be automatically derived, with confidence that defective devices will be powered down if they exceed budget.

Secure Management
The use of protocols like SSH2, SCP and SNMPv3 supported by Summit 400-24p prevents the interception of management communications and man-in-the middle attacks.
