Summary of Common Switch Features
Note: If the information in the Release Notes that shipped with your switch differs
from the information in this guide, follow the Release Notes.
Full-Duplex Support
Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. This means that
frames can be transmitted and received simultaneously, which, in effect, doubles the
bandwidth available that is available on a link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks
switch autonegotiate for half-duplex or full-duplex operation. Gigabit Ethernet and
100BASE-FX ports operate in full-duplex mode only in accordance with technical
standards.
Management Ports
The 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet management port allows you to communicate directly to
the CPU of the switch. You can plug an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop into
the management port. This provides you with direct access into the switch and allows
you to view and locally manage the switch configurations.
The management port is located on the following Extreme Networks devices:
• Summit5i—The management port is located on the back side of the switch
• Summit7i —The management port is located on the front side of the switch
• Alpine—Switch Management Module (SMMi) for the Alpine series switch
• BlackDiamond—Management Switch Fabric Module (MSM64i) for the
BlackDiamond series switch
