Extreme 5320 48-port PoE switch

The Extreme Networks 5320-48P-8XE is a managed Ethernet switch with 48 copper ports that deliver up to 30 W of PoE each. It adds eight SFP+ uplinks that operate at 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, plus two dedicated 10 Gbps stacking ports. The unit supports MACsec encryption on both copper and fibre interfaces and runs either Switch Engine (EXOS) or Fabric Engine (VOSS) firmware selectable at boot. A 740 W PoE budget powers cameras, phones and access points without extra cabling.

Suited for wired edge deployments

This model fits networks that need high-density PoE at the access layer and 10 Gbps uplinks to the core. It also serves teams wanting cloud-managed onboarding via zero-touch provisioning or on-premises control through Extreme fabric services. Buyers who require multi-gigabit copper ports such as 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps should evaluate other 5320 variants. Environments needing a DC power input or a smaller port count are not addressed by this SKU.

Deciding spec: 256 Gbps aggregated bandwidth

The switch provides 256 Gbps of aggregated switching bandwidth and a maximum frame forwarding rate of 190.5 Mpps. These figures determine whether the backplane can sustain full line-rate traffic across all 48 PoE ports and eight 10 Gbps uplinks simultaneously. If the design calls for higher aggregate throughput, a larger chassis or a different series would be required.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5320-48P-8XE and which step is often missed?

Mount the switch in a rack, connect the 48 PoE ports and 8 SFP+ uplinks, then power on. The step often missed is selecting the operating system — Switch Engine (EXOS) or Fabric Engine (VOSS) — at first boot or later via the dual-persona capability.

What maintenance or replacement will the 5320-48P-8XE need over time?

The internal fans and power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units. Monitor the 740 W PoE budget; adding more powered devices may require a second switch rather than a component swap.

Which limit appears first on the 5320-48P-8XE under sustained heavy load?

The 256 Gbps aggregated switch bandwidth or 190.5 Mpps forwarding rate will saturate before the 740 W PoE budget if all 48 ports and 8 uplinks run at line rate continuously.
