Extreme Networks
understands that the e-commerce marketplace and 24/7 Internet access
are serious business. That's why we developed ExtremeWare v6.1, the
reliable, resilient software that runs on all Extreme Networks' "i"
series switches. Common code with the "i" series switches
mean plug-and play compatibility on Extreme's Summit, Alpine and Black
Diamond‚ switches, as well as consistent behavior and stable
performance right out of the box.
ExtremeWare
v6.1 delivers the uncompromising management, control and security
needed on today's demanding service provider, enterprise and
co-located networks. Its standards-based multi-layer switching and
Policy-Based Quality of Service (QoS) give service providers and
corporate networkers alike the tools they need to make the most of
their capacity.
Also
key is the flexibility of making your network design decisions for
Layer 2, 3 and 4-7 switching independent from your QoS and security
policies. For example, even if configured for simple L2 switching, the
switch can implement bi-directional bandwidth management and security
policies at Layer 3, 4 or even based on user name.
- Implements
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): BGP4, External BGP and
Internal BGP
- OSPF-
a complete, feature-rich scaled and field proven
implementation
- IP
Multicast - PIM/DM ; PIM/SM ; DVMRP
- Supports
all expected router services, including Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (DHCP/UDP)
relay, IRDP and controls on IP Option and Internet Control
Message Protocol (ICMP) responses
- IPX
RIP/SAP
- Server
Load Balancing and Web Cache Redirection
- Combined
Layer 2 resiliency and loop prevention and Layer 3 default
router redundancy using ESRP
- A
single platform delivers resilient server load balancing,
Layer 3-4 traffic redirects and Layer 2-3 switching, along
with Policy-Based QoS
- Layer-independent
QoS and access control
- Can
classify incoming packets and set policy according to
Layer 1 through Layer 7 classifications including user
name, port, MAC address, IP address, L4 port, WINS
username or any possible IEEE 802.1p priority and DiffServ
code point values
- VLAN
aggregation; scales use of IP address space for server
co-lo environments and preserves customer isolation
- Configuration
and monitoring can be done via Telnet, common line
interface, local web interface, SNMP and Secure Shell 2
(SSH2)
- Support
for EEM, Extreme's management platform for system-wide QoS
Policy and efficient configuration/management tools
- Loaded
with debug-trace logging utilities for BGP4, OSPF, RIP,
and Spanning Tree
