Overview:
High-Density, 10Gb Enterprise LAN and Aggregation Switching
Designed to extend the reach of Extreme Fabric Connect technology to remote sites, the ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 Series with Fabric Connect VPN software delivers fully featured network virtualization capabilities in a cost-effective hardware appliance. Optimized for remote locations, the ExtremeAccess Platform extends secure multi-service capabilities across either Service Provider WAN or Public Internet links in a compact form factor ideal for small sites. It offers a simplified, yet secure way to extend campus fabric services to branch locations.
The ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 Series (XA 1400) are compact general-purpose hardware appliances intended for remote site or branch deployments. Designed for use with Fabric Connect VPN (FCVPN) software, the XA 1400 enhances the value of an existing Extreme Automated Campus deployment by expanding the reach of Fabric Connect services to remote sites while delivering a consistent and uniform user experience. FCVPN software transparently extends Fabric Connect services, such as L2/L3 VSNs, over 3rd-party provider networks, including MPLS-based WANs or the Internet. In addition to secure Fabric segmentation over the WAN, FCVPN software also supports IPSec for end-to-end traffic encryption.
Two models of the ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 Series are available: the XA 1440 and the XA 1480. Both are x86-based hardware appliances equipped with six (6) Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 copper ports and two (2) 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ fiber ports. They also include serial and USB ports for management, as well as external flash use.
ExtremeAccess Platform 1440 (aka XA 1440): This model is intended for small site or branch applications in cases where up to 100 Mbps of WAN throughput is required. This model includes a 4-core Intel processor, 8Gb RAM and 32Gb Solid State Drive (SSD).
ExtremeAccess Platform 1480 (aka XA 1480): This model is intended for mid-sized branch or head-end appliance uses cases where up to 500 Mbps of WAN throughout is required. This model includes an 8 core Intel processor, 8Gb RAM and 64GB Solid State Drive (SSD).

Features:
Unified Fabric Network End-to-End
Enabled with the Fabric Connect VPN software, the XA 1400 enhances the value of our customers’ existing Fabric Connect deployments by expanding the reach of solution from Campus to distributed Branches and even the Cloud - while delivering the same simplicity, security and scalability that they are familiar with – all with a consistent and uniform user experience.
Extends Micro-segments to Remote Locations
While traditional Site-to-Site VPNs offer Data Security with encryption, the XA 1400 additionally delivers Secure Services extension from Campus to Branch, enabling end-to-end micro-segmentation, along with data encryption for an added layer of protection.
Fabric Connect VPN Software
When enabled with Fabric Connect VPN software, the ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 Series supports full-feature Extreme Fabric Connect capabilities. Based on an extended implementation of the Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) standards of IEEE 802.1aq and IETF RFC 6329, Fabric Connect offers a virtualized network that simplifies network provisioning and reduces the strain on network and IT personnel. Benefits include:
- Eliminates need to configure network-wide VLANs
- Replaces legacy protocols with a single unified protocol
- Removes the risk of network loops
- Delivers an edge-only provisioning model that seamlessly integrates with orchestration and automation
- Supports both L2 and L3 virtualization
Specific Fabric Connect features supported on the ExtremeAccess Platform with the Fabric Connect VPN software include: L2 Virtual Service Networks (VSNs), Layer 3 Virtual Service Networks, Inter-VSN Routing, IPv4 Shortcuts, and Fabric Extend Tunneling.
Advanced Layer 3 Services
The ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 with Fabric Connect VPN software also supports Layer 3 services. This enables it to address IP routing requirements, in addition to its fabricbased services. Layer 3 services include IPv4 dynamic and static routing, as well as Border Gateway Protocol with support for RIPv1/2, OSPFv2, BGPv4 and VRF.
Management
The ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 Series can be managed in a variety of ways. Simple on-box management functions are delivered by a web-based GUI and a generic CLI is available for manual configuration. Centralized management can be done via Extreme Management Center (XMC) which provides a comprehensive unified management capability.
Typical Deployment Scenarios:
The ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 will typically be deployed to extend secure Fabric Connect services from a head-end or campus location to a remote site. Connection can be over a Service Provider WAN or Public Internet using either Fabric Extend or IPSec encrypted tunnels. In either case, Fabric Connect services can be securely extended to the remote location. Each scenario is further described below.
Fabric Services over Service Provider WANs with Fabric Extend
In this scenario, remote sites with ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 appliances are connected over a Service Provider WAN (e.g., MPLS, Ethernet, or DSL) to the central campus or head-end site (see Figure 1). Since the Service Provider WAN is private and generally has its own builtin security, IPSec encryption is not required. Here, VSP 7000 or 8000 Series switches in the central site can act as the aggregation devices for Fabric Extend tunnels to the ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 appliances in the remote sites. In this scenario, secure Fabric Connect services (or segments) are run across Fabric Extend tunnels using a VXLAN overlay.
Figure 1: Secure Fabric Services over a Service Provider WAN using Fabric Extend
Fabric Services over the Public Internet with IPSec
In this scenario, remote sites with Extreme Access Platform 1400 appliances connect over the Public Internet to the central campus or head-end site (see Figure 2). Since the Internet is less secure than a Service Provider WAN, IPSec encryption on the ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 can be used to ensure a secure link. Here, ExtremeAccess Platform 1400 appliances would be deployed in both Campus (or head-end) and remote sites to perform IPSec encryption, as well as any needed fragmentation and reassembly. Secure Fabric Connect services (or segments) can then be run across the IPSec tunnels across the Public Internet.
