Universal Edge Switch Platform
The 5320 Series is a family of high-performance, feature-rich edge switches
designed for the next-generation digital enterprise. Available in 16, 24, and
48-port gigabit models, the 5320 is a stackable universal hardware switching
platform, providing end-to-end secure network segmentation and advanced policy
capabilities. Compatible with a choice of Extreme’s flagship switch operating
systems, the 5320 is a uniquely flexible platform that can be deployed across a range
of edge and wiring-closet environments.
Cloud-Based Network Management
The 5320 can be managed by ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ Site
Engine for centralized switch management, giving you a consolidated view
of users, devices, and applications across wired and wireless networks for
efficient inventory and network topology management. ExtremeCloud IQ
enables zero touch provisioning, allowing you to quickly bring new 5320
switches online as well as select the OS persona
Alternatively, 5320 on-box management can be done manually via a web
based GUI or generic command-line interface (CLI).
Ethernet Fabric Services
The 5320 supports a variety of Ethernet Fabric services, including Extreme’s
Fabric Connect when running Fabric Engine and Extreme’s IP Fabric
when running Switch Engine. It also supports Fabric Attach for automated
connection to either Layer 2 or Layer 3 Fabric services.
Extreme’s Fabric Connect and IP Fabric enable the creation of virtualized
networks that automate network operations, simplify network provisioning,
and enhance security, all while reducing the strain on network and IT
personnel.
Universal Hardware Platform
The 5320 comes with a dual-persona capability, allowing you to choose
your OS. Either the Switch Engine (EXOS)1 or Fabric Engine (VOSS)2 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.
5320 OS selection can also be automated with ExtremeCloud IQ so that
the desired OS can be automatically loaded at switch start-up, facilitating
remote OS enablement.
1 Switch Engine is the new name for ExtremeXOS (EXOS) on all universal
switch platforms, starting with Version 31.6.
2 Fabric Engine is the new name for the VSP Operating System Software
(VOSS) on all universal switch platforms, starting with Version 8.6
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
All 5320 models support 30W PoE that conforms with IEEE 802.3at. This
enables the 5320 to address the needs of powered edge devices, while
eliminating the need for additional electrical cabling and circuits. In
addition, 5320 PoE models support perpetual and fast PoE for even more
efficient and reliable powered edge device operation.
Audio Video Bridging
The 5320 Series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB)1 when
running Switch Engine OS. This allows 5320 models to deliver reliable,
real-time audio/ video transmission over Ethernet, meeting the quality
of service required for today’s high-definition, time-sensitive multimedia
streams.
1 The extended temperature switch models do not support this feature in their
initial release.
Extended Temperature Operation
The 5320 Series offers 24- and 48-port switch models that support
extended temperature operation1 of 0°C to 60°C. The 48-port switch
model provides a combination of Fiber and Copper ports enabling flexible
deployment use cases. Both switch models include 4x10G SFP+ for uplinks
and/or stacking. The extended temperature switch models come with one
f
ixed power supply and support an optional external Redundant Power
Supply (RPS) as well.
1 The extended temperature switch models will support Switch Engine at GA.
Fabric Engine is targeted for a later release.
Silent Operation
Silent mode operation at temperatures up to 35⁰C is supported on 5320
16-port AC and DC-powered models. This makes these models ideal
for classrooms, hospitality suites, retail sites, or other noise sensitive
environments, especially outside of the wiring closet environment.
