Each Extreme 8820 device is a high density, fixed form factor switch and router 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, VXLAN overlay technology, and Dual Stack 1Pv4/1Pv6 functionality, deployed in the most demanding service providers, internet exchange points (IXPs) and large enterprise data centers.
An RJ45 serial console port on the front panel of the Extreme 8820 Series enables you to connect a terminal and perform local management. The Extreme 8820-80C models have two RJ45 Ethernet management ports on the front panel, which can be used to connect the system to an out of band management network for administration. The Extreme 8820-40C models have only one RJ45 Ethernet management port on the front panel. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect this port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch configuration. The Ethernet management port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
After you connect, you can use the management functions built into the device to monitor the port status, physical status, and other information to help you analyze device performance and to accelerate system debugging. The device automatically performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is turned on.

Hot-swappable fan modules that provide either front-to-back or back-to-front airflow for switch cooling are available for the Extreme 8820. Extreme 8820-40C models support six fan modules. Extreme 8820-80C models support four fan modules. The fan slots on all models are located on the rear panel. Switch fans are not responsible for cooling the power supplies; power supplies have integrated cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fan. The direction of the airflow in the fans and power supplies must be the same. For more information about the fans used in the Extreme 8820 Series switches, see Fan Modules for Use with Your Switch.
Fans are ordered separately for base models 8820-40C and 8820-80C. Fans are included with other models.
Hot swappable 1600 W AC or DC power supplies are available to power the Extreme 8820. The power supplies have integrated cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fans. The fans provide either front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. The direction of the airflow in the power supplies and the fans must be the same. Extreme 8820-40C models support two power supplies, and Extreme 8820-80C models support four power supplies. The power supplies can be AC, DC, or mixed. The power supply slots on all models are located on the rear panel. For more information about the power supplies used in the Extreme 8820 Series, see Power Supplies for Use with Your Switch.
Power supplies are ordered separately for base models 8820-40C and 8820-80C. Power supplies are included with other models.
The operating temperatures and operating altitude for front-to-back airflow models are 0oC to 40oC (32oF to 104oF) up to 6,000 ft (1800m). The operating temperatures and operating altitude for back-to-front airflow models are 0oC to 25oC (32oF to 77oF) up to 6,000 ft (1800m).
