DATA SHEET K-Series™ Flexible, Modular Switch With Premium Features, for Enterprise Edge to Small Core Deployments BENEFITS BUSINESS ALIGNMENT • Ensures each end-user receives the information, services and applications needed to achieve their business goals through extensive network visibility and control capabilities • Green and efficient power system modularity drives down power and cooling costs by providing optimal incremental power consumption • Consistent end user experience and network protection by effectively allocating critical network services while blocking suspicious traffic OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY • High-density, small form factor chassis provides up to (216) 10/100/1000 ports with (8) 10Gb uplinks in a standard rack, significantly reducing footprint costs • Management automation and built-in • Versatile, high density edge to small core switching with flexible connectivity and power options reduces cost of ownership • Advanced automated network provisioning maximizes the efficiency and reliability of supporting new IT services such as virtualized desktops • Integrated visibility, granularity and control delivers significant cost savings and premium security for mission critical networks • Easy to deploy access controls and prioritization provides more robust location, identification and overall management capabilities including support for “bring your own device” programs Product Overview The Extreme Networks K-Series™ is the most cost-effective, flow-based switching solution in the industry. Providing exceptional levels of automation, visibility and resiliency features drive down operational control from the network edge to the small enterprise core, these flexible, modular costs and maximize uptime switches significantly reduce operational costs while still offering premium features. SECURITY • Reduces risk and simplifies network The K-Series is built upon the Extreme Networks CoreFlow2 custom ASIC. This cornerstone switching technology provides greater visibility into critical business administration with built-in, not bolted on applications and the ability to enable better controls to meet the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) demanded by the business. • Protects business traffic from malicious attacks and maintains information confidentiality, integrity and availability • Extends network access control and security to existing edge switches and wireless access points, meeting the challenges associated with the consumerization of IT SUPPORT AND SERVICE • Industry-leading customer satisfaction and first call resolution rates Designed to address the challenges associated with a growing demand for access to new applications and services, the K-Series protects businesses traffic and supports changing operational needs. This includes the consumerization of IT and “bring your own device” programs that require more robust location, identification, visibility and overall management capabilities. The K-Series is uniquely suited to intelligently manage individual user, device and application conversations, as well as to provide the visibility and management to troubleshoot connectivity issues, locate devices, and ensure protection of corporate data. Extreme Networks K-Series switches are available in the following form factors: • 6-slot chassis offering up to a maximum of 144 triple-speed ports and (4) 10Gb uplinks • 10-slot chassis offering up to a maximum of 216 triple-speed ports and (8) 10Gb ports The K-Series supports up to (12) 10Gb uplinks, including four ports on the fabric card and 8 ports on (2) 10Gb IOMs. K-Series – Data Sheet

The K-Series makes forwarding decisions and enforces security are processed through the multilayer classification engines in policies and roles while classifying/prioritizing traffic at wire the switch and the I/O fabric module. In this process, the role is speed. All I/O modules provide the highest Quality of Service identified, the applicable policies are determined, the packets (QoS) features for critical applications such as voice and HD are inspected and the action is determined. After the flow is video even during periods of high network traffic load while identified, all subsequent packets...

benefit of multi-user authentication is to authorize multiple users, either using dynamic policy or VLAN assignment for each authenticated user. In the case of dynamic policy, this is called Network Traffic Monitoring–Port Mirroring Multi-User Policy. Multi-user port capacities with the K-Series Port mirroring is an integrated diagnostic tool for tracking are determined on a per port, per I/O module, and per multi-slot network performance and security that is especially useful system basis. for fending off network intrusion and attacks. It is a low-cost Multi-user authentication and policy can...

IP ROUTING - PROVIDES DYNAMIC TRAFFIC OPTIMIZATION, BROADCAST CONTAINMENT AND EFFICIENT NETWORK RESILIENCE • Standard routing features include static routes, RIPv2, RIPng and Multicast routing support (DVMRP, IGMP v1/v2/v3), Policy Based Routing and Route Maps and VRRP • Licensed routing features include OSPF v2/v3, VRF, IS-IS (via future FW upgrade) and PIM-SM SECURITY (USER, NETWORK & MANAGEMENT) • User security • Authentication (802.1X, MAC, PWA+ and CEP), MAC (Static and Dynamic) port locking • Multi-user authentication/policies • Network security • Access Control Lists (ACL) – basic and...

as defined by the Extreme Networks policy overlay. In addition All K-Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports are dual speed and to allocating resources for important network traffic, prioritized will also accept standard Gigabit SFP transceivers. This capability bandwidth can be assigned on a per port or per authenticated enables a smooth migration path from Gigabit Ethernet user basis. Flex-Edge technology is ideal for deployment in for connecting devices to 10 Gigabit Ethernet in the future. wiring closets and distribution points that can often suffer Customers can use Gigabit Ethernet optical...
