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.

• You can install a versatile interface module (VIM) in a dedicated slot in the front panel of the ExtremeSwitching 5720 Series switch to provide 25/100G dedicated high speed ports.
• You can install a Solid-state Drive (SSD) to provide modular storage support.
• You can install LRM/MACsec Adapters that increase 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.
