Sorry, this product is no longer available, please contact us for a replacement.
Overview:
The Extreme Networks G3 is a Gigabit Ethernet switch with 3 expansion slots that support 24-port Gigabit Ethernet as well as 2-port and 4-port 10GE I/O modules. With its wire-rate switching and routing capabilities, including IPv6 routing, the G3 is well-suited for dynamic switching/routing environments that require high-density Gigabit Ethernet ports and high-capacity 10GE uplinks. Along with a switch capacity of 384 Gbps, the G3 provides 24 Ethernet ports (either fixed 10/100/1000Base-T or 1 Gbps SFPs). Two of the ports on the 10/100/1000 switches are combo ports, which can be accessed via either the 10/100/1000Base-T or 1 Gbps Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) connectors.
- 3-slot modular architecture supports high-density Gigabit Ethernet and 10GE I/O modules
- High-availability design with redundant power assures reliable network operations
- PoE and IPv4 & IPv6 routing support a variety of networks and devices
- Aligns network resource utilization with business goals and priorities
- 384 Gbps capacity and 214 Mpps line-rate switching and routing
In order to provide a reliable, high-availability network, the G3 offers field-replaceable redundant power supplies and supports Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), OSPF Equal Cost Multipath and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). Both the standard and Power over Ethernet (PoE) G3 models support redundant, integral power supplies, which can be configured to operate in either a load-sharing (redundant) or additive power configuration.
In conjunction with its non-blocking architecture, the G3's robust Quality of Service (QoS) features enable strong support for converged multimedia networks, including Voice over IP (VoIP) and video, as well as all types of data-intensive applications. The G3's highly customizable Layer 2/3/4 packet classification capabilities together with its intelligent queuing mechanisms ensure that mission-critical applications receive prioritized access to network resources.
Making use of Extreme Networks' policy capabilities, a network administrator can define distinct roles or profiles that represent specific operational groups within an organization. Each defined role is granted individualized access to specific network services and applications (e.g., manager, employee, guest) and these access privileges remain associated with users as they move across both wired and wireless network access points. Users are authenticated via IEEE 802.1X, MAC address, or web authentication, and then assigned a predefined operational role ensuring that each user has access to appropriate information, thus aligning network resource utilization with business goals and priorities.
In order to sustain a secure, feature-rich and cost-effective network well into the future, the G3 includes a lifetime warranty.
Features:
Security
- Business-oriented policy-based security by user, protocol, port, or VLAN
- Technology-oriented ACL-based security by port and per VLAN
- Better password security via increased complexity, history tracking and aging. Passwords can now be encrypted using a FIPS 1402 approved algorithm.
- Multiple user authentication via IEEE 802.1X, Web portal, and/or MAC address simultaneously for up to 8 users/devices per port
- Multiple user VLAN assignment via RFC 3580 for up to 8 users/ devices per port
- Acceptable use policy enforcement when deployed with Extreme Networks Network Management Suite (NMS)
- Rapid detection, isolation, and remediation of threats when deployed with the Extreme Networks NMS and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
- Proactive protection services:
- MAC address lockdown / lockout
- Worm & virus quarantine
- Source port pairing
- ARP broadcast protection
- BPDU port protection
- DHCP service protection
Performance
- Crossbar capacity: the G3 provides a crossbar capacity of up to 285.7 Mpps and 384 Gbps bandwidth
- Switch capacity: the G3 performs at wire speed per port and provides switching capacity up to 214 Mpps throughput with current IOMs
- Address table size: up to 32,000 addresses are supported
- Hardware queues: 8 hardware queues per port are supported
Management
- Secure management: authenticated and encrypted SNMPv3 support in addition to SSHv2 and SSL
- Policy support: the G3 supports the creation of 31 profiles and 1,536 unique policy rules per device; up to 8 roles or profiles are supported per port
- Port mirroring: mirrors ingress traffic from switch port(s) to a local or remote device for further traffic analysis or compliance purposes
- RMON: provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, events, filter and packet capture. Note: packet capture is sampling only; packet capture/filter sampling is disabled by default and cannot be enabled on the same interface concurrently with port mirroring
- IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): automated device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
- Alias/node table: dynamically updated local directory of attached users and devices used to locate and resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses throughout the network
Convergence
- LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery): a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN to automatically configure network devices such as IP phones
- IP multicast routing: optional advanced routing license supports DVMRP and PIM sparse mode
- IP multicast snooping (data-driven IGMP): automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic
Connectivity
- IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet: provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
- PoE power management: prioritizes which ports receive power and detects powered and non-powered end devices to enable attachment of PoE and standard Ethernet devices on a single switch. Class-based power management assigns the maximum amount of power required for a PoE class (0-4) to an attached device. Manual Mode distributes power to PoE-powered I/O modules manually, allowing for extra power to be distributed to designated ports.
- Jumbo frames: enables high-performance remote backup and disasterrecovery services
- IPv6 capable: IPv4/IPv6 dual host management support with IPv6 routing via an optional IPv6 routing license
High Availability
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP): requires optional G3 Advanced Routing License. VRRP allows creation of highly available routed environments
- IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol: provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments by allowing multiple spanning trees; encompasses IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
- IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): Flexible Link Aggregation Groups (6 groups of 8, 12 groups of 4 or 24 groups of 2) which allow multiple Ethernet ports (8, 4 or 2) to be grouped together to create a LAG.
- Hot-swappable power supplies, I/O modules, and SFP/XFP optics
- Redundant power supplies and cooling
- Sparing simplicity: common accessories (interface modules, power supplies)
Layer 2 Switching
- IEEE 802.1q VLAN support and tagging: supports up to 1,024 VLANs simultaneously
- GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
Layer 3 Services
- Layer 3 IP routing: static IP routing provides basic routing. RIP provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing at media speed for up to 2,500 IPv4 routes. Optional Advanced Routing License includes PIM, VRRP, and OSPF2 which supports ECMP to provide link redundancy/scalable bandwidth and NSSA. IPv6 routing is supported via the optional IPv6 Routing License
- UDP helper function: UDP broadcasts can be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevent server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP
- Loopback interface address: defines an address in RIP and OSPF that can always be reachable, improving diagnostic capability
Quality of Service (QoS)
- Traffic classification at layer 2,3,4: enables packet classification and tagging at the network edge based on any of the following attributes: MAC address, physical port, IP address, IP protocol, IP ToS/DSCP, TCP/UDP port, and IP subnet
- Traffic prioritization: allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels mapped to eight hardware queues; weighted round robin (WRR) or strict priority (SP) queuing are supported which keeps low priority traffic from being completely starved of bandwidth
Investment Protection
- Seamless transition from RFC 3580 and complex ACL deployments to the Extreme Networks role-based policy framework, without the need to make changes to the RADIUS infrastructure (e.g., adding filter-ID)
- Includes lifetime warranty that continues for five years after the date of product discontinuation.
