The following sections detail what is new in this document.
Feature documentation is updated to include support statements specific to the new hardware.
The ExtremeSwitching 5320 Series is a family of feature-rich edge switches. The 5320 Series universal hardware provides end-to-end secure network segmentation, in addition to advanced policy capabilities, and offers a user-selectable choice of Fabric Engine and Switch Engine network operating system (NOS) personalities.
Fabric Engine 8.6 supports the following new switching models:
5320-24P-8XE
24 10/100/1000BASE-T full-duplex (FDX), half-duplex (HDX) ports with 802.3af Type 1 PoE and 802.3at Type 2 PoE+
8 10G SFP+ ports
All ports support MACsec.
Ports 29-32 support 100M, 1G, and 10G optics.
By default, ports 1/25-1/27 are reserved for internal loopback function when the switch operates in SPBM mode.
In non SPBM mode, ports 25-32 support 1G and 10G optics.
5320-24T-8XE
24 10/100/1000BASE-T full-duplex (FDX), half-duplex (HDX) ports
8 10G SFP+ ports
All ports support MACsec.
Ports 29-32 support 100M, 1G, and 10G optics.
By default, ports 1/25-1/27 are reserved for internal loopback function when the switch operates in SPBM mode.
In non SPBM mode, ports 25-32 support 1G and 10G optics.
5320-48P-8XE
48 10/100/1000BASE-T full-duplex (FDX), half-duplex (HDX) ports with 802.3af Type 1 PoE and 802.3at Type 2 PoE+
8 10G SFP+ ports
All ports support MACsec.
Ports 53-56 support 100M, 1G, and 10G optics.
By default, ports 1/49-1/51 are reserved for internal loopback function when the switch operates in SPBM mode.
In non SPBM mode, ports 49-56 support 1G and 10G optics.
5320-48T-8XE
48 10/100/1000BASE-T full-duplex (FDX), half-duplex (HDX) ports
8 10G SFP+ ports
All ports support MACsec.
Ports 53-56 support 100M, 1G, and 10G optics.
By default, ports 1/49-1/51 are reserved for internal loopback function when the switch operates in SPBM mode.
In non SPBM mode, ports 49-56 support 1G and 10G optics.
A future release will add support for the following two models, which are included in the current documentation:
5320-16P-4XE
16 10/100/1000BASE-T full-duplex (FDX), half-duplex (HDX) ports with 802.3af Type 1 PoE and 802.3at Type 2 PoE+
4 10G SFP+ ports
Powered by AC power source
All ports support MACsec.
5320-16P-4XE-DC
16 10/100/1000BASE-T full-duplex (FDX), half-duplex (HDX) ports with 802.3af Type 1 PoE and 802.3at Type 2 PoE+
4 10G SFP+ ports
Powered by DC power source
All ports support MACsec.
In addition to the fixed ports, all models provide console interface ports (one micro Type B USB and one RJ-45) and one Type A USB port for removable storage.
The 5320 Series family of switches have either 4 or 8 SFP+ ports:
All SFP+ ports support 1G and 10G speeds.
The last four SFP+ ports of the 24- and 48-port models also support 100M.
For optics compatibility, see the Extreme Optics website.
For 10G operation, you must install a port license.
While feature content in general is updated to include 5320 Series, some specific differences between this platform and other universal hardware are documented in the following sections:
For high-level feature support information, see Fabric Engine Feature Support Matrix.
In earlier releases, you could not configure the tunnel source address (ip-tunnel-source-address command) if the address belonged to a VRF with an attached I-SID. You can now use an overlay parameter with this command to bypass this restriction.
For more information, see the following tasks:
Continuity Mode is an enhancement to existing Fail Open VLAN and Fail Open I-SID behavior that shortens the transition to the Fail Open VLAN or Fail Open I-SID. This mode is automatically enabled if you configure Fail Open VLAN or Fail Open I-SID; you cannot disable Continuity Mode. Continuity Mode replaces the Fail Open behavior of previous releases.
For more information, see Fail Open VLAN with Continuity Mode and Fail Open I-SID with Continuity Mode.
This release introduces a new boot config flag, which is called boot config flags spbm-node-scaling. This command is only applicable to, and supported on, 5320 Series and 5420 Series.
For more information, see Increase the Number of SPB Nodes per Area.
In this release, RESTCONF API support is enhanced to include:
Get all client MAC addresses (mgmt VRF, GRT and user VRF) from the device.
Get all switch client ARP information.
For more information, see Representational State Transfer Configuration Protocol (RESTCONF) Fundamentals.
