The SLX 9740 are high density, fixed form factor switch routers with 80 x 100 GbE or 40 x 100 GbE ports to deliver the scale and performance needed to address the explosive growth in network bandwidth, devices and services.
This platform provides carrier-class advanced features that leverage proven Extreme Networks routing, MPLS, Carrier Ethernet, and VXLAN overlay technology, deployed in the most demanding service providers, internet exchange points (IXPs) and large enterprise data centers.
The switch supports connections using the RJ45 serial console port or the Ethernet management ports to view and manage the switch configuration. For more information on switch connection methods, see Manage Your Switch. For switch connection details, see Connect to a Management Console.
After connecting to your switch, it can be flexibly configured and operated though the CLI for manual configuration, or REST or the NETCONF/YANG APIs, or SNMP. For more information about switch configuration and operation methods, see Manage Your Switch.
Note
There is also a Type A USB 2.0 port labeled USB on the front panel that can interface with USB storage devices.Each switch is cooled by hot-swappable field replaceable fan modules. The switch supports both front-to-back and back-to-front airflow for switch cooling. Switch fans are not responsible for cooling the power supplies; power supplies have integrated cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fan. Fan modules are ordered separately for the base SLX 9740 switch. Fan modules are included with other switches.
For more information about the fan modules used in the switch, see Fan Modules for Use with Your Switch.
Each SLX 9740-40C switch supports two hot-swappable modular AC or DC power supplies. Each SLX 9740-80C switch supports four hot-swappable modular AC or DC power supplies. The power supplies provide enough power for the needs of the switch. 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. Power supplies are ordered separately for the base SLX 9740 switch. Power supplies are included with other switches.
For more information about the power supplies used in the switch, see Power Supplies for Use with Your Switch.
