5520 Universal Switch with 12 x 100Mb/1Gb/2.5Gb/5Gb 802.3bt 90W PoE MACsec-capable ports plus 36 x 10/100/1000BASE-T 802.3bt 90W PoE Full / Half-Duplex MACsec-capable ports, includes 2 x Stacking/QSFP28 ports, 3 fan modules, 1 VIM slot, 2 unpopulated modular PSU slots, Base software license.
The 5520 Universal Switch series are managed by Extreme Platform ONE or ExtremeCloud IQ from the cloud or on-premises. Alternatively, 5520 onbox management can be done manually via a web-based GUI or generic command-line interface (CLI).
All 5520 models support 30W, 60W, and 90W PoE that conforms with IEEE 802.3bt. This enables the 5520 to address the needs of powered edge devices, while eliminating the need for additional electrical cabling and circuits. In addition, 5520 PoE models support perpetual and fast PoE for even more efficient and reliable powered edge device operation.
The 5520 Series supports high-speed 200Gb* stacking when running Switch Engine via its two built-in QSFP28 stacking ports. Up to eight systems can be stacked using qualified QSFP+ direct attach cables and optical transceivers.
*200Gb stacking available with Switch Engine 31.6.
The 5520 Series comes with a dual-persona capability, allowing you to choose your Operating System (OS). Either the Switch Engine (EXOS) or Fabric Engine (VOSS) OS can be selected at switch start-up or changed at a later stage. When selected, the switch assumes the features and capabilities of that OS. 5520 OS selection can also be automated with Extreme Platform ONE or ExtremeCloud IQ so that the desired OS can be automatically loaded at switch start-up, facilitating remote OS enablement.
Extreme Universal hardware enables the extension and enforcement of Fabric and Universal ZTNA policies. Wherever users connect through the network, their access is secure and segmented. ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA, which combines zero-trust network and application access in one solution, automatically configures devices to enforce security policy consistently. When used in concert with Extreme Fabric, Universal ZTNA becomes part of the fabric services that automate segmentation and allow the network to flex for efficiency and resiliency while keeping security policy consistent end-to-end.
