5320 Series Overview

The Extreme Networks 5320 Series is a family of feature-rich edge switches designed for the next-generation digital enterprise.The 5320 Series includes fixed 16, 24- and 48-port 1 Gigabit models that are available in 30W PoE and non-PoE versions. The integrated 1Gb SFP uplinks can be upgraded to 10Gb. Two built-in SFP+ stacking ports on 5320 Series switches can be used for high-speed stacking when running Switch Engine (stacking is not supported when running Fabric Engine). The family also includes 16-port PoE models available with either AC or DC power options, and extended temperature models that include an option to add an external 150W redundant AC power supply.

Management

Each switch can be flexibly managed though the cloud, the network, or the command-line interface (CLI), either remotely or locally. The switch supports any of the following management methods:

ExtremeCloud IQ through the cloud or over the network.
an out-of-band management network connected to the Ethernet management port on the switch on models 5320-24T-4X-XT and 5320-24T-24S-4XE-XT. The other models in the 5320 Series do not have a dedicated Ethernet port for OOB management.
a laptop connected directly to the Ethernet management port on the switch through an Ethernet cable on models 5320-24T-4X-XT and 5320-24T-24S-4XE-XT.
a terminal connected to the RJ45 serial console port on the switch.
a PC or laptop connected to the Micro-B USB console port on the switch.
Note
Model 5320-16P-2MXT-2X has a Micro-USB Type C port, but does not have a Micro-USB Type B port.

For more information about switch management, see Manage Your Switch.

Note

There is also a Type A USB 2.0 port labeled USB on the front panel that can host removable devices like flash drives.

Cooling

Most switch models are cooled by fixed internal fan modules with side-to-side (left to right) airflow. Switch fans are also responsible for cooling the power supply; the power supply does not have an integrated cooling fan that operates independently of the switch fan for power supply cooling. Model 5320-16P-2MXT-2X is cooled by convective airflow and operates at temperatures up to 45⁰C. Fan-off operation at temperatures up to 35⁰C is supported on 5320 16-port AC- and DC-powered models.

The external redundant power supply for models 5320-24T-4X-XT and 5320-16P-2MXT-2X has its own fan for power supply cooling.

Power Supplies

Each switch has one fixed internal power supply that provides enough power for the needs of the switch. Most 5320 Series switches have an AC power supply. The 5320-16P-4XE-DC model switch has a DC power supply. The power supplies have integrated cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fans for power supply cooling and are not responsible for cooling the switch.

Models 5320-24T-4X-XT and 5320-24T-24S-4XE-XT provide an option to add an external 150W redundant AC power supply. For more information regarding the redundant power supply, see the Redundant Power Supply Quick Reference and Redundant Power Supplies for Use with Your Switch.

The power supply for model 5320-16P-2MXT-2X provides a 30W PoE budget.

Stacking Ports

Each switch comes equipped with two stacking ports, also referred to as Universal Ethernet ports. When running Switch Engine, these ports can be used in either stacking mode or Ethernet mode. When in stacking mode, up to eight systems can be stacked using qualified direct attach cables or optical transceivers. Fabric Engine does not support stacking; the stacking ports can be used as Ethernet ports if Fabric Engine is in non-fabric mode.

Note

Most 5320 Series switches can stack with themselves and with some other switches. See Combine Switches from Different Series for more information. The 5320 Series Extended Temperature switches 5320-24T-4X-XT and 5320-24T-24S-4XE-XT can only stack with themselves.

Stacking cables are ordered separately.

For more information about stacking ports, see Universal Ethernet Ports.

Operating Temperatures

The 7520 supports the following operating temperatures with front-to-back cooling:

0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F) at sea level
0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) up to 3000 m (10,000 ft)

The 7520 supports the following operating temperatures with back-to-front cooling:

0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F) at sea level
0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) up to 3000 m (10,000 ft)

Feature Licensing

5320 Series switches support Unified Licensing, so that you can use them with multiple operating systems. There are two methods of acquiring feature licenses: manual or through ExtremeCloud IQ^TM (XIQ).

For Switch Engine licensing, see the Feature License Requirements for your version of the Switch Engine operating system.

For Fabric Engine licensing, see the Licensing chapter in the Fabric Engine User Guide for your version of the Fabric Engine operating system.

Note

Model 5320-16P-2MXT-2X is pre-loaded with the Fabric Engine operating system.

For XIQ licensing, see ExtremeCloud IQ.
