The Extreme Networks 5520 Versatile Interface Module (VIM) with four 10GbE SFP+ ports is designed for integration with ExtremeSwitching 5520 series switches. This module, part number 5520-VIM-4XE, provides network architects and IT managers with additional high-speed connectivity options. It enables the expansion of existing 5520 switch deployments by adding four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, supporting LRM (Long Reach Multimode) optics for extended reach over multimode fiber. The module is also MACsec capable, offering a layer of security for data in transit across the network. This VIM addresses the need for increased bandwidth and secure port density in enterprise and data center environments where ExtremeSwitching 5520 platforms are utilized, facilitating upgrades and network segmentation without requiring a full switch replacement.
This versatile interface module is supported exclusively on the ExtremeSwitching 5520 series switches. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with these specific networking platforms.
The module is equipped with four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports. These ports support LRM (Long Reach Multimode) optics, allowing for extended reach over multimode fiber connections.
