EXTREME NETWORKS 5320-16P-4XE Extreme networks network switch Managed L2 Gigabit

The 5320 Series is a family of feature-rich edge switches designed
for the next-generation digital enterprise. As a universal hardware
platform, the 5320 Series end-to-end secure network segmentation,
in addition to advanced policy capabilities, and offers a userselectable choice of Extreme’s flagship switch operating systems.
This makes the 5320 a uniquely flexible platform that can be
deployed across a range of edge and wiring-closet environments.
The 5320 Series includes fixed 16, 24, and 48-port 1 Gigabit models
that are available in 30W PoE and non-PoE versions. The family also
includes 16 port PoE models available with either AC or DC power
options.

Management
The 5320 can be managed by ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud
IQ—Site Engine for comprehensive unified management with a
consolidated view of users, devices and applications across wired
and wireless networks. (NOTE: Each 5320 unit also includes a
1-year free ExtremeCloudIQ Pilot subscription.)
Zero-touch provisioning from ExtremeCloud IQ lets one quickly
bring new 5320 switches online as well as enable the selection
of the operating system (OS) persona. Alternatively, 5320 onbox management can be done manually via a web-based GUI or
generic CLI.

Power Over Ethernet
The 5320 Series includes Power over Ethernet (PoE) models
supporting standards-based 30W IEEE 802.3at PoE capabilities.
This enables the 5320 to address the needs of powered edge
devices, while eliminating the need for additional electrical cabling
and circuits. In addition, 5320 PoE models also support perpetual
and fast PoE for even more efficient and reliable powered edge
device operation.

Ethernet Fabric Services
The 5320 supports a variety of Ethernet Fabric services, including
Extreme’s Fabric Connect when running Fabric Engine and
Extreme’s IP Fabric when running Switch Engine. It also supports
Fabric Attach for automated connection to either Layer 2 or Layer
3 fabric services. Extreme’s Fabric Connect and IP Fabric on the
5320 enable the creation of virtualized networks that automate
network operations, simplify network provisioning and enhance
security, all while reducing the strain on network and IT personnel.

High-Performance Stacking
Two of the 5320’s built-in SFP+ uplink ports can be used for highspeed stacking when running Switch Engine. Up to eight systems
can be stacked using qualified 10Gb direct attach cables and
optical transceivers. (Note: Stacking is not supported when running
Fabric Engine).

Universal Hardware Platform
The 5320 Series comes with a dual-persona capability allowing
user choice of the switch operating system (OS). Either the
Switch Engine1
or Fabric Engine2 persona can be enabled on 5320
hardware models. The desired persona can be selected at start-up
or changed at a later stage. Once selected, the 5320 assumes the
features/capabilities of the selected OS.
5320 persona activation can be done manually at boot-up,
including via the system CLI. Or, it can be automated by preprovisioning the 5320 persona in ExtremeCloud IQ. When first
booted, the 5320 automatically connects to ExtremeCloud IQ to
find its persona. The pre-provisioned OS persona is then remotely
enabled on the 5320 system – eliminating the need for manual
selection.

1Gb Uplinks Upgradeable to 10Gb
All 5320 Series units include integrated SFP+ capable uplinks that
support 1Gb SFP by default, but which can be
upgraded to 10Gb via software. 24 and 48-port 5320 models
come with 8 x 1Gb SFP uplinks; 16-port models offer 4 x 1Gb SFP
uplinks. 1Gb SFP uplinks are upgradeable to 10Gb SFP+ through an
optional software license. (Note: Two of the 5320 uplink ports are
available for Switch Engine stacking and when used in this manner
support 10Gb by default.)

Silent Operation
Silent mode operation at temperatures up to 35°C is supported
on 5320 16-port AC and DC-powered models. This makes these
models ideal for classrooms, hospitality suites, retail sites or other
noise sensitive environments, especially outside of the wiring closet
environment.
