ExtremeSwitching™ 5420F-24T-4XE Universal Edge Switch

The ExtremeSwitching 5420F-24T-4XE is a high-performance, fixed-form switch designed for enterprise edge and aggregation deployments. Part of the versatile 5000 Series, this model delivers robust connectivity, advanced security features, and flexible management options—all housed in a compact, scalable form factor. It supports dual operating systems (ExtremeXOS or VOSS), offers high-power PoE capabilities, and is built for seamless integration into modern network fabrics.

Key Features

• 24 x 1GbE RJ45 ports with MACsec encryption support
• 4 x 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports via included VIM module
• Up to 90W PoE per port (IEEE 802.3bt)
• Dual-persona OS support: ExtremeXOS or VOSS
• Cloud management via ExtremeCloud IQ with 1-year Pilot subscription
• Hardware-based stacking support up to 8 units
• Hot-swappable power supplies and fans for high availability

Technology & Standards

The 5420F-24T-4XE supports a wide range of industry standards including IEEE 802.3bt PoE, IEEE 802.3ae 10GbE, MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE), and Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az). It is compliant with key regulatory and safety standards such as UL, CE, FCC, and RoHS.

How It Works

The switch operates at wire speed, using a non-blocking architecture to ensure full throughput across all ports. It supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, advanced QoS, ACLs, and fabric services. The dual-boot capability allows administrators to choose between ExtremeXOS for traditional networking or VOSS for fabric-based automation.

Applications

Ideal for enterprise edge, campus aggregation, and wiring closet deployments. Commonly used in:

• High-density Wi-Fi 6/6E access point connectivity
• IP surveillance and IoT device networks
• Digital signage and smart building infrastructure
• Medium to large enterprise branch offices

Specifications

Advantages
