Cloud-Based Network Management

The 5320 can be managed by ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ Site

Engine for centralized switch management, giving you a consolidated view

of users, devices, and applications across wired and wireless networks for

efficient inventory and network topology management. ExtremeCloud IQ

enables zero touch provisioning, allowing you to quickly bring new 5320

switches online as well as select the OS persona.

Alternatively, 5320 on-box management can be done manually via a web-

based GUI or generic command-line interface (CLI).

Ethernet Fabric Services

The 5320 supports a variety of Ethernet Fabric services, including Extreme’s

Fabric Connect when running Fabric Engine and Extreme’s IP Fabric

when running Switch Engine. It also supports Fabric Attach for automated

connection to either Layer 2 or Layer 3 Fabric services.

Extreme’s Fabric Connect and IP Fabric enable the creation of virtualized

networks that automate network operations, simplify network provisioning,

and enhance security, all while reducing the strain on network and IT

personnel.

Universal Hardware Platform

The 5320 comes with a dual-persona capability, allowing you to choose

your OS. Either the Switch Engine (EXOS)1 or Fabric Engine (VOSS)2 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.

5320 OS selection can also be automated with ExtremeCloud IQ so that

the desired OS can be automatically loaded at switch start-up, facilitating

remote OS enablement.

1 Switch Engine is the new name for ExtremeXOS (EXOS) on all universal

switch platforms, starting with Version 31.6.

2 Fabric Engine is the new name for the VSP Operating System Software

(VOSS) on all universal switch platforms, starting with Version 8.6.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

All 5320 models support 30W PoE that conforms with IEEE 802.3at. This

enables the 5320 to address the needs of powered edge devices, while

eliminating the need for additional electrical cabling and circuits. In

addition, 5320 PoE models support perpetual and fast PoE for even more

efficient and reliable powered edge device operation.

Audio Video Bridging

The 5320 Series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB)1 when

running Switch Engine OS. This allows 5320 models to deliver reliable,

real-time audio/ video transmission over Ethernet, meeting the quality

of service required for today’s high-definition, time-sensitive multimedia

streams.

1 The extended temperature switch models do not support this feature in their

initial release.

Extended Temperature Operation

The 5320 Series offers 24- and 48-port switch models that support

extended temperature operation1 of 0°C to 60°C. The 48-port switch

model provides a combination of Fiber and Copper ports enabling flexible

deployment use cases. Both switch models include 4x10G SFP+ for uplinks

and/or stacking. The extended temperature switch models come with one

fixed power supply and support an optional external Redundant Power

Supply (RPS) as well.

1 The extended temperature switch models will support Switch Engine at GA.

Fabric Engine is targeted for a later release.

Silent Operation

Silent mode operation at temperatures up to 35⁰C is supported on 5320

16-port AC and DC-powered models. This makes these models ideal

for classrooms, hospitality suites, retail sites, or other noise sensitive

environments, especially outside of the wiring closet environment.
