Features:

High Availability and Reliability

The SLX 9140 delivers the high performance and reliability required by modern data centers. It is designed for high availability from both a software and hardware perspective. Key features include:

  • A high-availability architecture with a clear separation between the control plane and data plane
  • Deep packet buffers and advanced QoS capabilities to streamline execution at high data rates, even for bursty or long-lived traffic flows
  • Redundant power supplies and fan modules that minimize single points of failure
  • Active/Active Layer 2 multipathing
  • 64-way ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy
  • BFD, OSPF3-NSR, and BGP4-GR

Modular, Virtualized Operating System

The SLX 9140 runs Extreme SLX-OS, a fully virtualized Linux-based operating system that delivers process-level resiliency and fault isolation. SLX-OS supports advanced switching features and is highly programmable with support for REST API with the YANG data model, Python, and NETCONF — enabling full lifecycle automation with Extreme Workflow Composer. It is based on Ubuntu Linux, which offers all the advantages of open source and access to commonly used Linux tools.

SLX-OS runs in a virtualized environment over a KVM hypervisor, with the operating system compartmentalized and abstracted from the underlying hardware. The core operating system functions for the SLX 9140 are hosted in the system VM.

This approach provides clean failure domain isolation for the switch operating system while leveraging the x86 ecosystem — thereby removing single-vendor lock-in for system tools development and delivery. In addition, it supports a guest VM, which is an open KVM environment for running third-party and customized monitoring, troubleshooting, and analytics applications.

Embedded Network Visibility

The SLX Insight Architecture and SLX Visibility Services deliver a new approach to network monitoring and troubleshooting that makes it faster, easier, and more costeffective to obtain the comprehensive, real-time visibility needed for network operations and automation. This innovative approach provides comprehensive visibility from the network to the workload, and triggers action on the network. These actions can address end-user application or service needs, and provide context-rich data for additional analysis, automation, and reporting. For details, read Visibility in the Modern Data Center with Extreme Networks Switches and Routers.

SLX Visibility Services help simplify network operations with embedded visibility from the physical network to application workloads. By combining physical and virtual network traffic data with overlay and workload information across multiple network layers, this solution enables diverse, rule-based actions to maintain performance and mitigate risk. Other key functions include:

SLX Insight Architecture

The SLX Insight Architecture leverages an innovative combination of SLX-OS software and SLX hardware features to provide pervasive visibility into the network without impacting normal network operation or performance. This flexible and open solution enables organizations to deploy their choice of third-party or customized monitoring and troubleshooting tools directly in the network—providing real-time visibility to meet specific business and operational needs across the network. This enables organizations to improve service and application assurance, as well as dramatically reduce operational impact and cost.

As shown in Figure 1, key components of the SLX Insight Architecture include:

  • Guest VM: The SLX Insight Architecture provides an open KVM environment that runs thirdparty applications and customized monitoring, troubleshooting, and analytics tools. Enabled by SLX-OS, this preconfigured guest VM is on each SLX 9240 Switch. It hosts third-party network operations and analytics applications on every device, extending visibility to the entire network.
  • Dedicated Analytics Path: The SLX Insight Architecture provides an innovative internal analytics path between the packet processor on the SLX 9140 and the SLX Insight Architecture open KVM environment running on the local CPU. This enables applications running in the open KVM environment to extract data without disrupting the forwarding or control plane traffic on the switch.
  • Flexible Streaming: The SLX Insight Architecture provides API streaming, enabling captured data to be delivered to analytics applications off the platform for additional analysis, visualization and reporting, or logging and archiving.
  • Dedicated Analytics Storage: The SLX 9140 provides 128 GB of on-device storage dedicated to visibility applications running in the guest VM, providing real-time data capture for fast and easy access.

SLX Visibility Services

As network complexity increases, isolated data points at the physical or virtual network layer provide little insight into the criticality of an issue. For example, bursty storage backup traffic slowing down an internal website is a lower priority than a slowdown for a revenue-generating application. Network administrators need workload context across the network to ensure the appropriate action is taken in each case.

  • SLX Visibility Services help simplify network operations with embedded visibility from the physical network to application workloads. By combining physical and virtual network traffic data with overlay and workload information across multiple network layers, this solution enables diverse, rule-based actions to maintain performance and mitigate risk. Other key functions include:
  • Pervasive visibility at scale across the network for seamless support of highly distributed multitier application workloads
  • Rich multilayer classification (such as IP and MAC addresses, port numbers, VNIs) and workload matching with network-wide scale
  • Automated application of rule-based actions (such as count, drop, mirror, sFlow) to incoming network traffic
  • Further actions outside the switch, including pushing context-rich data to the SLX Insight Architecture, Extreme Workflow Composer, and third-party analytics and monitoring applications

SLX Visibility Services are embedded into SLX switches, reducing the operational complexity of managing network visibility at scale (see Figure 2).

VXLAN RIOT-Ready Hardware

The VXLAN Routing Into and Out of Tunnels (RIOT) capability enables intercommunication between data center workloads located across broadcast domains in different subnets. Many switching platforms require two or even three passes through the ASIC for RIOT functionality — either for route and encapsulation; route and decapsulation; or decapsulation, route, and encapsulation. They also tend to unnecessarily waste Ethernet ports for loopback. Ethernet LoopBack LAG (ELBL) is required for RIOT functionality, which reduces the number of available front panel ports on the switch, and each extra pass creates added latency to the RIOT function.

The SLX 9140 hardware supports RIOT, providing a flexible application deployment architecture for new and legacy multitier application workloads. With the SLX 9140, all RIOT functions — including decapsulation, route, and encapsulation — require only one pass through the ASIC. This maintains efficiency of front panel port availability and reduces latency for RIOT.

Cross-Domain Automation for IT Operations

To unleash new levels of business innovation and competitive advantage, many organizations are embracing digital transformation. Their success depends on building an agile business, and, in the digital era, IT agility is achievable only with centralized, cross-domain automation.
