The Extreme Networks X440-G2-24t-GE4 is a feature-rich, Layer 2/3 managed gigabit Ethernet switch designed for the demanding connectivity needs of enterprise and campus networks. This model provides 24 copper 10/100/1000BASE-T ports for connecting end-user devices and servers, plus 4 additional SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots for gigabit fiber uplinks, offering flexible connectivity for linking to network core switches or extending distances over fiber optic cable. Its robust hardware is engineered for reliable, high-performance switching in critical business environments.

As a fully managed switch, it offers comprehensive control and visibility through Extreme's EXOS operating system. This includes advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, VLAN support for network segmentation, link aggregation (LAG) for increased bandwidth and redundancy, and robust security features including MACsec encryption, 802.1X network access control, and dynamic ACLs. It supports static and dynamic routing protocols (Layer 3 Lite), enabling it to perform inter-VLAN routing within a stack or network segment.

Built for scalability and resilience, the X440-G2 series supports stacking technology, allowing multiple switches to be combined into a single, logical unit for simplified management and increased redundancy. Its design emphasizes energy efficiency with features like variable-speed fans and per-port power control. This switch is a versatile, enterprise-grade building block, ideal for creating secure, high-availability access layer networks in corporate offices, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities.
