10 Gbps performance is enabled by 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers.
Ports can be configured for 10 Gbps for metro connectivity (on the first eight ports only).
Universal ports self-configure as E, F, M, or D ports. EX_Ports can be activated on a per port basis
with the optional Integrated Routing license.
Brocade Diagnostic Port (D-Port) feature provides physical media diagnostic,
troubleshooting and verification services.
In-flight data compression and encryption on up to two ports provides efficient link utilization and
security.
Options for port side exhaust (default) or nonport side exhaust airflow for cooling.
Virtual Fabric support to improve isolation between different VFs.
Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) service, available with the optional Integrated Routing license
provides improved scalability and fault isolation.
FICON, FICON Cascading, and FICON Control Unit Port ready.
Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps
speeds) between a pair of switches combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 128
Gbps (256 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by
automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.
Brocade-branded SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of Short Wavelength
(SWL) and Long Wavelength (LWL) or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media among
the switch ports.
Extended distance support enables native Fibre Channel extension up to 7,500 km at 2 Gbps.
Support for unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data traffic types.
Brocade Fabric OS, which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a
wide range of value-added applications including Brocade Advanced Web Tools and Brocade
Zoning. Optional Fabric Services include: Adaptive Networking with QoS, Brocade Extended
Fabrics, Brocade Enhanced Group Management, Brocade Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, and End-to-
End Performance Monitoring (APM).
Support for Access Gateway configuration where server ports connected to the fabric core will be
virtualized.
Hardware zoning is accomplished at the port level of the switch and by World Wide Name (WWN).
Hardware zoning permits or denies delivery of frames to any destination port address.
Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high Reliability, Availability,
and Serviceability (RAS).
10G Fibre Channel integration on the same port provides for DWDM metro connectivity on the
same switch (can be done on first eight ports only).
The Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard that makes SAN configuration a three-step point-and-click
task.
Real time power monitoring enables users to monitor real time power usage of the fabric at a switch
level.
Port-to-port latency minimized to 800 nanoseconds through the use of cut-through frame routing at
16 Gbps.
Platform components
A system motherboard that features a PowerPC 440EPx Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)
CPU running at 667 MHz, with integrated peripherals, and that provides high performance with low
power consumption.
An RJ45 10/100 Bast T Ethernet system management port, in conjunction with EZSwitchSetup, that
supports switch IP address discovery and configuration, eliminating the need to attach a serial cable
to configure the switch IP address and greatly increasing the ease of use.
