Key Hardware Features

• 24 and 48-port multi-gig models with 1, 2.5, 5 and 10Gb Ethernet connectivity
• 30W, 60W, and 90W PoE (Power over Ethernet) support for powering Ethernet connected devices
• Choice of 6 x 1Gb/10Gb/25Gb port or 2 x 100Gb port modular uplink options
• High-performance 400Gb per unit stacking of up to eight switches
• Hot-swappable, redundant power supplies and fans
• Secure link encryption with MACsec across both access and uplink ports
• Non-blocking wire speed design

• The 5720 Series supports IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) when running Switch Engine OS. This allows 5720 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.

Cloud-Based Network Management

• The 5720 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 5720 switches online as well as select the OS persona.
• Alternatively, 5720 on-box management can be done manually via a web-based GUI or generic command-line interface (CLI).

• The 5720 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.
