400
COMMON MANAGEMENT INTELLIGENCE
Compatible Command Line Interface Across All
Platforms
The Summit 400 uses the same ExtremeWare management
commands and has the same “look and feel” as all other Extreme
Networks switches resulting in a common end-to-end management
solution that reduces training expenses and increases the sharing of
management expertise throughout the network. The Summit 400
supports extensive management interfaces through standard
management tools like SNMP, RMON and the command line interface
(CLI). The Summit 400 supports web-based (HTML) management for
an advanced “manage-anywhere” capability.

Rate Limiting Benefits
The central flow control rate limiting feature in the Summit 400
adds a valuable tool for bandwidth management on ingress
traffic. Similar to an Access Control List, the rate limiting
feature inspects incoming packets headers to allocate a pre-
defined amount of bandwidth for that traffic flow. If the flow
exceeds the assigned bandwidth, excess packets are either
dropped or modified by resetting their DiffServ code point.
Rate limits can be configured from 1 Mbps in 1 Mbps
increments up to full line rate. Rate limiting is an excellent
method of managing and prioritizing the total traffic coming into
a switch and it also enables control of the amount of bandwidth
any port, user, or application is allowed to consume.
