Nutanix with any Extreme Network Switch | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hi everyone, I was looking at the documentation and the switches recommended by Nutanix itself:


https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2050-Physical-Networking.html

 

Is there any reason why no Extreme Networks switch is on the list? Some clients have requested that the provided equipment be on this list, but there are some very similar (if not fully compatible) models with several Extreme Networks devices, like the Extreme Networks 7520-48Y or Extreme Networks 8520-48Y.

Is there any reason for this? Or is it simply because someone needs to approve it from either side?

Hello,

That's a good question. I think this is a non-exhaustive list. Nutanix works on the most standardized switch models, 10GB/s min. I suggest you open a ticket as a technical question with support.

Regards,


Hi,

we have been using two series of Extreme switches over the years and found that none of them ever worked together with AOS network detection. On Prism’s network page, Extreme switches have always been displayed as 16 uplinks ending in one “Unknown switch” with “Data unavailable” like this:

 

I have talked to both vendors for support and it seems that Ntx cannot make it work on their own and Extreme does not seem to care.

Have a nice day,

Peter
