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.

Versatile interface modules (VIM) are installed in one dedicated slot in the front of the switch to provide a dedicated 10/25/40G high speed port. If no module is installed, the option slot is covered by a blank panel.
Solid-state Drives (SSDs) provide modular storage support.

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