VSP4900-48
Simplify Your Network with an Extreme Fabric Connect Multi-service Edge Device
Overview
VSP4900 Series
The Virtual Services Platform (VSP) 4900 Series is the next generation of Extreme Fabric Connect fixed-form factor switches designed for network edge and aggregation deployments. Providing high-performance, resilient and secure Gigabit/multi-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the VSP 4900 enables end-to-end fabric services from network edge to aggregation to core, along with transparent extension of fabric services to the branch. Its advanced capabilities enable full-featured network virtualization to be flexibly deployed across a range of network environments. The VSP 4900 Series is available in four model variants to address a range of campus, remote site and/or multi-service needs. All models above also support modular uplinks – at 10Gb, 25Gb and 40Gb – for flexible linkage to other switches or devices over a range of media.

Features
Key capabilities of the VSP4900-48
Extreme Fabric Connect
The VSP 4900 natively supports the Extreme Fabric Connect technology. Based on an extended implementation of the Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) standards of IEEE 802.1aq and IETF RFC 6329, Fabric Connect offers the ability to create a virtualized network that simplifies network provisioning and reduces the strain on network and IT personnel.
Fabric Extend
The VSP 4900 also natively supports Fabric Extend that enables it to extend Fabric Connect services over an intermediate 3rd-party network -- whether Layer 2 or Layer 3-based. With Fabric Extend, enterprises can, for example, connect two Fabric Connect environments (or islands) over a Service Provider WAN, such as MPLS or Ethernet WAN. Fabric Connect simplified provisioning and virtualization services can then be transparently extended across the 3rdparty network.
Advanced Layer 3 Services
The VSP 4900 Series also supports advanced Layer 3 services that enable it to satisfy conventional IP routing deployments, in addition to its fabric-based services. Layer 3 services include IPv4 and IPv6 dynamic routing, as well as IP multicast services.
Power Over Ethernet
VSP 4900-48P and VSP 4900-12MXU-12XE models offer Power over Ethernet (PoE) to address the needs of powered edge devices. The VSP 4900-48P supports IEEE 802.3at (30W) PoE on its 48 x 1Gb ports; and the VSP 4900-12MXU-12XE supports IEEE 802.3bt (60W) PoE on its 12 multi-rate ports. Both VSP 4900 models also support fast PoE and perpetual PoE capabilities for faster start-up and more continuous operation of connected, PoE-powered end-points.
Extreme Insight Architecture
Extreme's Insight Architecture leverages an innovative combination of VSP 4900 Series operating software and hardware features to provide extended services without impact to switching or network performance. Available on VSP4900-12MXU-12XE and VSP4900-24XE models, this flexible and open solution enables organizations to run a Guest VM on the VSP 4900 system. Organizations can then use the Guest VM to deploy their choice of Extremeprovided or third-party application/tools for real-time visibility or to meet specific business or operational needs across the network. This can help improve network visibility and performance, while reducing operational costs.
MACsec Link Encryption
The VSP 4900 supports IEEE 802.1AE MACsec on its access ports, as well as on its modular uplink ports. MACsec is a hop-by-hop security capability which encrypts/ decrypts packets between connected switches or devices. As a link-only encryption, the switches can still apply services to the packet, such as policy or QoS, without compromising the security of packets across the link. With support for both 128-bit and 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) support, the VSP 4900 provides the most secure link encryption.
VIM Options for Flexible Uplinks
The VSP 4900 supports Versatile Interface Modules (VIM) for its uplink ports and has a single VIM slot that can be optionally used for this purpose. VIM options include 2 and 4-port modules that support 10Gb, 25Gb and 40Gb data rates.
Management
The VSP 4900 can be managed in a variety of ways. Simple on-box management functions are delivered by a web-based GUI and a generic CLI is available for manual configuration.
