The X460-G2 series is based on Extreme Networks revolutionary ExtremeXOS, a highly resilient OS that provides continuous uptime, manageability and operational efficiency. Each switch offers the same high-performance, non-blocking hardware technology, in the Extreme Networks tradition of simplifying network deployments through the use of common hardware and software throughout the network.

The X460-G2 switches are effective campus edge switches that support Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE - IEEE 802.3az) with IEEE 802.3at PoE-plus and can also serve as aggregation switches for traditional enterprise networks. The X460-G2 series is also an option for DSLAM or CMTS aggregation, or for active Ethernet access.

The X460-G2 can also be used as a top-of-rack switch for many data center environments with features such as high-density Gigabit Ethernet for concentrated data center environments; XNVTM (ExtremeXOS Network Virtualization) for centralized network-based Virtual Machine (VM) inventory, VM location history and VM provisioning; Direct AttachTM to offload VM switching from servers, thereby improving performance; high-capacity Layer 2/Layer 3 scalability for highly virtualized data centers; and intra-rack and cross-rack stacking with industry-leading flexibility.

Comprehensive Security Management

• User policy and host integrity enforcement, and identity management
• Universal Port Dynamic Security Profiles to provide fine granular security policies in the network
• Threat detection and response instrumentation to react to network intrusion with CLEAR-Flow Security Rules Engine
• Denial of Service (DoS) protection and IP security against man-in-the-middle and DoS attacks to harden the network infrastructure
• Role Based Policy enables support for policy profiles to secure and provision network resources based upon the role the user or device plays within the network
