ExtremeXOS Switches

ExtremeCloud supports the management of cloud-enabled ExtremeXOS switches. For information about which switch models are supported, see the ExtremeCloud Release Notes.

Note

Extended Edge switching is also supported. For more information, see Extended Edge Switches.

10GB licensing is available.

Switches are typically managed using the graphical user interface. Individual switches can also be managed using ExtremeCloud CLI mode.

The use of cloud-enabled ExtremeXOS switches is optional. For example, if your environment already has a non-supported switch and you add ExtremeCloud-supported APs to your environment, you can use ExtremeCloud to manage the supported APs but not the switch. Or your deployment can consist of access points only.

ExtremeCloud securely stores the software images that cloud-enabled devices require. When an upgrade is required, ExtremeCloud tells the switch to download the image from a secure location on the Internet. All interactions between ExtremeCloud and the switches are secured with HTTPS.

Switches check in to ExtremeCloud at one-minute intervals. Configuration changes and any upgrade instructions are sent to the switches in response to checking in.

Policies are enforced on the APs, not on the switches.

Only switches with the ExtremeCloud built-in cloud connector and factory-installed certificates can use this product.

Note

For a list of cloud-enabled switches, see the ExtremeCloud Release Notes.
