Product Review

The Extreme EC8404001-E6 offers extensive physical connectivity options, including up to 8 100GBASE-QSFP28 ports and up to 96 10GBASE-T ports, catering to diverse network requirements. However, it may present scalability challenges for rapidly growing networks due to its fixed port configuration and switch fabric architecture of 2.56Tbps full-duplex. Notably, it supports a wide range of transceivers and advanced features like MACsec for enhanced security, but its management capabilities, especially in high-demand environments, could be limited by the frame forwarding rate and mirrored port capacity.

Overview

The Extreme EC8404001-E6 is a versatile and high-capacity network switch designed to accommodate the demanding connectivity requirements of modern data centers and enterprise networks. It offers a wide range of physical connectivity options to suit various network architectures and applications, ensuring high performance and scalability. At the core of its physical connectivity capabilities, the EC8404001-E6 supports up to 8 100GBASE-QSFP28 ports, providing ultra-high-speed links for uplinks or inter-switch connections. For environments requiring a high density of connections, it accommodates up to 24 40GBASE-QSFP+ ports, 96 10GBASE-SFP+ ports, 96 10GBASE-T ports, 96 1000BASE-SFP ports, and 96 1000BASE-T ports. This flexibility allows for a wide range of devices to be connected, from high-performance servers and storage systems to traditional Ethernet devices, ensuring comprehensive network integration. The switch is built on a switch fabric architecture capable of delivering 2.56 Tbps full-duplex throughput. This high-capacity backbone supports a frame forwarding rate of 1,428 Mpps per switch, enabling efficient handling of traffic even under heavy load conditions. Additionally, it supports jumbo frames up to 9,600 bytes (802.1Q tagged), enhancing the efficiency of large data transfers across the network. Security is a paramount concern in network design, and the EC8404001-E6 addresses this with MACsec support for its 10 Gigabit and channelized 40 Gigabit ports, providing encryption and integrity protection for data in transit.
  • Fabric Connect technology, leveraging 802.1aq/RFC 6329 Shortest Path Bridging with Extreme Networks extensions, simplifies network configuration and increases flexibility.
  • Advanced QoS and filtering capabilities, with up to 3070 ingress and 251 egress IPv4 Access Control Entries (ACE) and 256 ingress IPv6 ACE, ensure prioritization and security of traffic.
  • Comprehensive operations and management features, including support for up to 95 mirrored ports, sFlow sampling at rates up to 3,000 samples per second, and Fabric RSPAN with up to 1,000 VSN IDs per region, facilitate detailed network monitoring and troubleshooting.
The EC8404001-E6 supports a variety of transceivers for different connectivity needs, including 100GBASE-QSFP28, 40GBASE-QSFP+, and their respective variants, ranging from passive copper direct attach cables to active optical cables and modules capable of extending connections up to 10 km over single-mode fiber. This ensures that the switch can be integrated into virtually any network topology, providing reliable, high-speed connections. In summary, the Extreme EC8404001-E6 is engineered to meet the needs of complex, high-demand network environments.
