Feature-rich edge switches designed for the next generation digital enterprise Universal Hardware Platform The 5320 as a universal hardware platform simplifies your deployment experience through powerful cloud management and simplified licensing. It also helps avoid technology lock-in by enabling you to select your desired use case through a simple change of operating software and/or feature set. A 1-year ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot subscription is also included with each 5320 switch. Ethernet Fabric Services The 5320 supports a variety of Ethernet Fabric services, including Extreme’s Fabric Connect and IP Fabric. It also supports Fabric Attach for automated connection to either Layer 2 or Layer 3 Fabric Services. Extreme’s Fabric Connect on the 5320 enables the creation of virtualized networks that automate network operations, simplify network provisioning and enhance security, all while reducing the strain on network and IT personnel. High-Performance Stacking The 5320 also supports high-speed stacking via its two built-in SFP+ stacking ports. Up to eight systems can be stacked using qualified 10Gb SFP+ direct attach cables and optical transceivers. SILENT OPERATION Silent mode operation at temperatures up to 35?C is supported on 5320 16-port models. This makes these models ideal for classrooms, offices, hospitality suites or other noise sensitive environments, especially outside of the wiring closet environment.
