Dual 10GbE Upgrade License for ExtremeSwitching X440-G2 Series

Product Overview

Unlock the full potential of your ExtremeSwitching X440-G2 Series switches with the Dual 10GbE Upgrade License. This license enables two SFP+ ports to operate at 10 Gigabit speeds, transforming your network edge into a high-performance, low-latency backbone. Designed for scalability and flexibility, this license is ideal for enterprises requiring enhanced bandwidth without hardware replacement. It is a key component of the Integrated Services Platform, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.

Key Features

• Enables two SFP+ ports to operate at 10GbE speed.
• No reboot required—activation is immediate after license installation.
• Maintains full stacking capabilities without additional licensing.
• Supports auto-negotiation and advanced QoS features.
• Part of the Integrated Services Platform for comprehensive network management.

Core Technology

The Dual 10GbE Upgrade License leverages ExtremeXOS 22.5 software-based licensing stored in EEPROM, ensuring persistence across reboots and upgrades. It operates under the Edge or Advanced Edge license framework, supporting standards like IEEE 802.3ad for LAG, LLDP, and VLAN tunneling. This AP License integrates seamlessly with Extreme's network virtualization (XNV) and security protocols.

How It Works

The license is applied to the switch's firmware, unlocking pre-configured 10GbE capabilities on specified SFP+ ports. Once installed, the ports automatically transition from 1GbE to 10GbE mode, supporting high-speed optics and advanced features like rate shaping and mirroring. The license is tied to the switch's serial number, ensuring non-transferability and security.

Applications

Ideal for data center interconnects, enterprise uplinks, and bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming and virtualized environments. It is commonly deployed in healthcare, education, and financial sectors where reliable high-speed connectivity is critical. This AP License is a cornerstone of the Integrated Services Platform, enabling scalable network growth.
