4000 Series

The 4000 Series switches are managed by Extreme Platform ONE or ExtremeCloud IQ from the cloud or on-premises. A Command Line Interface (CLI) is also available with an Extreme Platform ONE standard or ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot license.

Extreme Platform ONE™ is an enterprise connectivity platform that integrates networking and security with AI into one powerful and radically simplified experience and licensing model. It supports NetOps, SecOps, and business teams with built in automation and enables organizations to regain control, unlock innovation, and boost productivity through:

• One integrated experience that is easy to use.
• Automation through built-in AI that boosts productivity, reducing cycle time for many tasks from hours to minutes.
• Simplified licensing that makes the solution as easy to buy as it is to use.
• AI assisted workflows for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Extreme Fabric and third-party switch visualization and management in cloud.
• Inventory management simplifies budgeting, planning and compliance.

The 4000 Series offers models that include standards-based IEEE 802.3at 30W on 1 gigabit access ports and IEEE 802.3bt 30/60/90W on multi-gigabit ports. This includes 90W PoE support across all 24 or 48 ports of the 4120 hardware. PoE eliminates the need for additional electrical cabling and circuits otherwise needed to power edge devices, such as IP phones or wireless APs.

The 4120 supports 1/2.5Gb multi-gigabit operation across all its access ports. This includes 24 x 1/2.5Gb ports on the 4120-24MW-4Y and 48 x 1/2.5Gb ports on the 4120-48MW-4Y.

The 4220 includes multi-gigabit PoE models with ports that operate at 1/2.5/5Gb. The 4220-4MW-8P-4X and 4220-4MW-20P-4X models support 4 multi-gigabit ports and the 4220-8MW-40P-4X supports 8 multi-gigabit ports. This enables the connection of APs or other powered devices requiring more than 1 Gigabit of bandwidth.

Quiet (fan-off) mode operation at temperatures up to 35°C is supported on 4220 12-port PoE, non-PoE, and multi-gigabit models. This makes these models ideal for classrooms, hospitality suites, retail sites, or other noise-sensitive environments, especially outside of the wiring closet environment.

4120 models support 200Gb stacking via two built-in QSFP28 ports. Up to eight systems can be stacked using qualified direct-attach cables and optical transceivers.

4220 models support 40Gb stacking via two built-in SFP+ uplink ports. Up to eight systems can be stacked using qualified 10Gb direct attach-cables and optical transceivers.

Note: Cross-stacking between 4120 and 4220 models is not supported.

Select 4220 Series models come with a dual-persona capability, allowing you to choose your Operating System (OS). Either the Switch Engine (EXOS) or Fabric Engine (VOSS) OS can be selected at switch start-up or changed at a later stage. When selected, the switch assumes the features and capabilities of that OS. OS selection can also be automated with Extreme Platform ONE or ExtremeCloud IQ so that the desired OS can be automatically loaded at switch start-up, facilitating remote OS enablement.

Extreme Universal hardware enables the extension and enforcement of Fabric and Universal ZTNA policies. Wherever users connect through the network, their access is secure and segmented. ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA, which combines zero-trust network and application access in one solution, automatically configures devices to enforce security policy consistently. When used in concert with Extreme Fabric, Universal ZTNA becomes part of the fabric services that automate segmentation and allow the network to flex for efficiency and resiliency while keeping security policy consistent end-to-end.

Select 4000 Series switches support Extreme's network fabric natively for network virtualization, automation, and network security. Extreme Fabric is the industry's most simple, resilient, and secure end-to-end, enterprise network fabric solution.. Fabric automates discovery and onboarding of network and user devices. Its sub-second convergence reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance windows. Automated micro-segmentation and stealth topology enhance and automate network security across campus, data center, and branch.

Fabric is included free with the purchase of applicable 4220 switches, no additional licenses or controller required. Extreme's Switch Engine only product lines, such as 4120 models, are fabric-enabled and can be automatically attached to and configured by Extreme Fabric. This reduces time to deploy new devices, services, and sites, while maintaining Switch Engine's unique capabilities.

4000 Series onboarding to the cloud is a hands-off operation using zero- touch provisioning. Simply unpack the 4000 Series switch, connect it to the network, and it automatically finds its connection to the cloud, ready to be provisioned. The ExtremeCloud Companion mobile app makes onboarding even easier with on-site cloud set-up and switch troubleshooting capabilities.

Instant Port automates adds, moves or changes across 4000 Series switch ports, eliminating the need for manual port configuration. The 4000 Series automatically detects the connected device type and applies the correct port parameters. The result is significant time savings when adding or moving devices across the 4000 Series wired network. A simple cloud interface allows Instant Port definitions of customer designated device types which can then be applied across a single switch, a stack, or even all 4000 Series switches in the network.

Instant Secure Port leverages ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA for authentication and zero-trust policy enforcement across 4000 Series switch ports, while providing the same add, moves, and change automation features of Instant Port. It simplifies 4000 Series security by using Universal ZTNA's cloud-based security capabilities, including Radius authentication, unified visibility and reporting, as well as policy enforced locally on 4000 Series ports. In doing so, it delivers a consistent and frictionless security experience for any user or device connecting through the 4000 Series switch.

Note: ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA requires a separate license.

Instant Stack simplifies cloud-based stack provisioning, enabling the entire switch stack to be set-up through a single push-button operation. Real- world stack information, including each switch model and their stack order, is captured and replicated in the cloud. Once set up, the entire stack is then ready to be cloud-provisioned.
