Extreme Networks 48-Port Switch 48T-4X

The Extreme Networks 48-Port Switch 48T-4X is engineered for the wired edge of modern enterprises, delivering robust Layer 2 switching with the simplicity and power of a fully cloud-managed solution. Part of ExtremeCloud IQ Managed Switching for the Wired Edge, this 4000 Series switch combines familiar enterprise capabilities with streamlined operations to help distributed locations—from retail storefronts to campus outposts—stay connected, secure, and adaptable. Designed to reduce administrative overhead while boosting network agility, the 48T-4X offers a dependable, scalable foundation for today’s multi-site networks. With its 48 ports and four high-speed uplinks, it’s built to support fast access for users, devices, and IoT endpoints while providing a consistent operational experience across the network.

  • Cloud-first management: Managed through ExtremeCloud IQ, the 48T-4X centralizes control, accelerates deployment, and reduces the time to provision new sites. Zero-touch onboarding, policy-driven configurations, and real-time analytics mean fewer manual steps and faster problem resolution.
  • Reliable wired edge performance: The switch offers robust Layer 2 switching capabilities to handle day-to-day access layer traffic with low latency and predictable throughput, keeping critical applications responsive across branches and campuses.
  • Flexible deployment for dispersed sites: With a fixed, rack-mountable form factor and a design optimized for distributed environments, the 48T-4X fits neatly into edge data cabinets and branch closets, enabling consistent network experiences from a central data center to remote locations.
  • Security and policy control: Built-in security features such as role-based access, ACLs, and integrated management safeguards help protect networks from spoofing, unauthorized access, and common Layer 2 threats, while enabling scalable policy enforcement across the edge.
  • Operational insights and automation: Integrated telemetry and analytics provide visibility into network health, traffic patterns, and compliance. Automated policies help reduce manual configuration drift and speed up troubleshooting across multiple sites.
