Integrated Application Hosting

Select X465 Series models support Extreme's Integrated Application

Hosting* which leverages the switch's hardware and software design to run

onboard applications without impacting switch performance. X465 models

equipped with a quad-core processor can run a Guest VM directly on the

switch, supporting third-party or customized applications to meet specific

business or operational needs. This can provide additional network insight

or enable new network applications without need for a separate hardware

device.

VIM Options for Flexible Uplinks

The X465 supports Versatile Interface Modules (VIMs) for both its uplink

and two dedicated stacking ports, and each X465 model has one VIM slot

available for uplinks. VIM options include two and four-port modules that

support 10Gb, 25Gb, and 40Gb data rates, as well as modules with LRM

and/or MACsec support.

Fabric Attach

Fabric Attach is available on all X465 models to provide you with an

automated connection to Extreme’s Fabric Connect solution. Providing

zero touch edge provisioning, Fabric Attach gives you access to Extreme

Fabric Connect infrastructure’s virtualized services and advanced security

capabilities.

MACsec Link Encryption

IEEE 802.1AE MACsec is supported on X465 Series access and uplink ports,

enabling the encryption and decryption of packets between connected

switches or devices. As a link-only encryption, X465 switches can still apply

services to the packet, such as policy or QoS, without compromising the

security of packets across the link. With 128-bit and 256-bit Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES) support, the X465 provides the most secure link

encryption.

Role-Based Policy

X465 models support role-based policies administered through the

ExtremeControl policy manager. This policy framework allows your network

administrators to define distinct roles or profiles to your enterprise’s

operational groups. These defined roles can be granted access to your

chosen network services or applications and enforce access privileges

within both wired and wireless network access points.

Location LED

X465 models come equipped with a location LED on the chassis’ front

panel, allowing you to quickly identify a specific X465 switch deployed in a

wiring closet or a stack.

Cloud-Based Network Management

The X465 can be managed by ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ –

Site Engine for centralized switch management, giving you a consolidated

view of users, devices, and applications across wired and wireless networks.

ExtremeCloud IQ enables zero touch provisioning, allowing you to quickly

bring new X465 switches online and a granular view that enables efficient

inventory and network topology management.

Alternatively, X465 on-box management can be done manually via a web-

based GUI or a generic command-line interface (CLI).

Note: Refer to the ExtremeCloudIQ Release Notes: New Features and

Enhancements for the latest list of XIQ-supported X465 models.
