Data Sheet Highlights • High-performance 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet Switch • Flexible pay-as-you-grow semimodular design • Flexibly supports high-density 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit, 100 Gigabit, and Combination modules • At home in both the Campus Core and as the Spine Switch in a Data Center Spine/Leaf Top-of-Rack deployment • Efficient compact form-factor that reduces power and footprint consumption • Supports both conventional Routed IP and/or Fabric-based network deployments • Delivers high-end functionality, performance, and scalability while helping to avoid the traditional 'Chassis Tax' Virtual Services Platform 8400 Flexible, Compact Form-Factor Ethernet Switch Designed to Deliver Sophisticated Functionality for Mid-Sized Enterprises The VSP 8400 Series introduces the Compact Form-Factor Ethernet Switch to address the unique networking need of mid-sized enterprises. The Compact Form-Factor design transforms the cost/benefit proposition for the mid-sized core switch; delivering higher port density, better price/ port, enhanced power efficiency, smaller physical footprint, and easy scalability. Essentially, it gives mid-sized enterprises a solution that fits their needs, while avoiding the ‘Chassis Tax’ associated with larger modular chassis options. By tightly integrating the switching hardware with Extreme Networks’ proven VSP Operating System, the VSP 8400 delivers a compelling package of enhanced functionality and robustness. It supports Extreme Networks’ innovative Fabric Connect technology, as well as conventional IPv4 and IPv6 routing, to satisfy a range of deployment scenarios. This enables businesses to easily transition from inefficient legacy technologies to an agile solution that dramatically reduces operational overhead and total cost of ownership. The VSP 8400 shares the same next-generation hardware and software technology as the existing VSP 8200 Series. This positions the product line to support both today’s requirements and tomorrow’s emerging needs.

Product Overview Front View Rear View The VSP 8400 Ethernet Switch provides four front-panel slots that support the flexible deployment of high-density VSP 8400 Series Ethernet Switch Modules. By default, the VSP 8400 is a “zero port” system, with a Chassis that integrates the switching fabric and all associated control and management electronics. Ethernet interfaces are delivered by the addition of one or more field-replaceable and hot-swappable Ethernet Switch Modules (ESMs). Extreme Networks has expanded the capability of the VSP 8400 Series with the introduction of the VSP 8404C...

The innovative design leverages an advanced chipset, featuring 2.56Tbps of switching and 1,428Mpps of frame forwarding performance. Application Telemetry • Makes the need to configure network-wide VLANs obsolete Application Telemetry is a unique feature of ExtremeAnalytics that enables the ExtremeSwitching infrastructure to participate in the forwarding and analysis of network application flows. By combining packet flow information from the VSP switch along with deep packet inspection abilities of ExtremeAnalytics, it provides actionable insights into network and application performance....
