Benefits & Features
The Summit X650 switch provides remarkable high density for 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a very small 1RU form factor for up to 32 ports in one system and 192 ports in a stacked system. Summit X650 offers two of the most advanced 10 Gigabit Ethernet technologies: 10GBASE-T and SFP+ to accommodate the needs for both copper twisted pair cable and optical fiber-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
With its versatile design, the Summit X650 switch supports exceptionally high density Layer 2/3 switching with ultra low latency and highly scalable IPv4 and IPv6 unicast and multicast routing to enable enterprise aggregation and core backbone deployment in AC-powered and DC-powered environments.
By combining our Ethernet switch SummitStack™ stacking technology with the Summit X650, Extreme Networks® has created a market-changing high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet stackable solution. The Summit X650 switch offers a flexible stacking option to optimize multiple deployment scenarios, providing backward compatibility with the 40G SummitStack and ultra high-speed SummitStack256 running at 256 Gbps. With SummitStack, Summit X650 can be stacked up to eight units, providing up to 192 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet in an 8RU height. Summit X650 also supports an optional SummitStack512 module running at 512 Gbps, which allows clustering two Summit X650 switches together for a non-blocking 48-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet solution.
Summit X650, with its ExtremeXOS® modular operating system, helps simplify network operations. The ExtremeXOS operating system, common across all Extreme Networks switches, provides high availability and simplicity with one operating system everywhere in the network.
Summit X650 helps address networking growth, including future high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Gigabit Ethernet with its remarkable Versatile Interface Module architecture built into the switch.

Network Diagram
Summit X650 offers a variety of applications with high performance, low latency and highly-scalable Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching.
Top of the rack switch for servers in the enterprise data centers
In the enterprise data center, many servers and storage systems are packed in racks, with all systems needing high-speed connectivity. A top-of-rack architecture is one way to simplify the cabling infrastructure and minimize the space requirements in the enterprise data center. Summit X650 is optimized to support 10 gigabit connectivity for servers and other network-attached devices. With its 1RU design, Summit X650 allows maximizing computing power per rack without taking space away from other network-attached computing devices.
High-performance 10 gigabit core switch for a small network and aggregation switch in a traditional three-tiered network
Summit X650 offers enterprise-core class scalability for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching. You can support up to 12,000 IPv6 longest prefix matching routes, 6,000 IP ARP entries and 2,000 multicast groups. Summit X650 can also be used in the network aggregation layer in an enterprise network. With its versatile design, Summit X650 simplifies enterprise network deployment.
Interconnect switch providing low latency connections for High Performance Cluster Computing (HPCC)
Ethernet technology has been evolving at a rapid pace. Starting at 10Mbps, then advancing to 100Mbps and 1Gbps speeds, Ethernet now delivers IEEE 802.3-based high-speed 10Gbps connectivity.
