Expansion Modules

Several different hardware accessories are available for expanding the capabilities of your Extreme Networks switch. Collectively, they are referred to as expansion modules.

The LRM/MACsec Adapter offers:
- Increased flexibility by supporting 10Gb Long Reach Multimode (LRM) connections. The adapter plugs into SFP+ ports that do not support LRM, effectively turning them into LRM-capable ports.
- Improved security through MACsec link encryption for connections leaving a building or campus.
Port option cards and versatile interface modules (VIMs) are installed in dedicated slots at the back of the switch to provide optional I/O ports or stacking ports. These optional items add 10-Gbps copper or fiber I/O ports to the back panel of compatible switches. If no card or module is installed, the option slot is covered by a blank panel.
Solid-state Drives (SSDs) provide modular storage support.
The TM-CLK Clock Module is required for Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) processing on the X460-G2 switch.

For information about option cards, VIMs, and stacking modules that work with other Extreme Networks switches, refer to ExtremeSwitching and Summit Switches: Hardware Installation Guide for Switches Using ExtremeXOS 16 or Earlier.

The following table lists the types of expansion modules and the switch series with which they are compatible.
