Plug-and-Play Operations for

Powered Devices

Brocade ICX switches support the IEEE

802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol

(LLDP) and ANSI TIA 1057 Link Layer

Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint

Discovery (LLDP-MED) standards

that enable organizations to deploy

interoperable multivendor solutions for

Unied Communications (UC). Conguring

IP endpoints such as VoIP phones can

be a complex task, requiring manual and

time-consuming conguration. LLDP and

LLDP-MED provide a standard, open method

for conguring, discovering, and managing

network infrastructure.

The LLDP protocols also reduce operational

costs by simplifying and automating network

operations. For example, LLDP-MED

provides an open protocol for conguring

Quality of Service (QoS), security policies,

Virtual LAN (VLAN) assignments, PoE power

levels, and service priorities.

Compact Switch Solution for

Deployment Outside the Wiring Closet

The Brocade ICX 6430-C/6450-C Compact

Switch offers enterprise-class LAN switching

capabilities, performance, reliability,

security, and manageability in a small form

factor with fanless operation for deployment

outside the wiring closet. It is ideal for

deployment in classrooms, retail locations,

factories, small ofces, workgroup, and

space-constrained environments. The

Brocade ICX 6430-C/6450-C is available

in a 12-port 10/100/1000 Mbps model

with IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+

support on four ports plus four additional

1 GbE uplink ports. Additionally, the

Brocade ICX 6450-C can be powered either

from its internal AC power supply or with

POE/PoE+ power, coming from one or

both of its two RJ45 uplink ports, providing

increased deployment exibility by enabling

the switch to be deployed in areas where no

AC power outlet is present.

In the enterprise, the Brocade ICX

6430-C/6450-C Compact Switch can be

used to extend the reach of the network

outside the wiring closet, bringing

connectivity to more users and supporting

additional wireless AP deployment without

running more wires. Additionally, the

Brocade ICX 6450-C offers L3 routing

and GRE support enabling secure and

exible deployment in remote areas. To

simplify deployment in-situ, the Brocade

ICX 6430-C/6450-C offer exible mounting

options, such as wall brackets and a

magnetic mount kit.

BROCADE HYPEREDGE

ARCHITECTURE

The Brocade HyperEdge Architecture

brings campus networks into the

modern era to better support

mobility, security, and application

agility. This evolutionary architecture

integrates innovative wired and

wireless technologies to streamline

application deployment, simplify

network management, and reduce

operating costs.

The HyperEdge Architecture enables

organizations to build networks

that are:

• Agile: By eliminating Spanning

Tree Protocol (STP) between

HyperEdge Domain switches

through a atter Layer 2 design,

the HyperEdge Architecture

increases link utilization and

reduces application deployment

complexity. The Distributed AP

Forwarding functionality of Brocade

wireless Access Points (APs)

efciently secures and directs

mobile trafc at the network

edge without tunneling data back

to a central controller at

the network core.

• Automated: By grouping premium

and entry-level switches with

intelligent wireless APs into

a consolidated management

domain, HyperEdge Domain

switches eliminate the need to

provision and manage devices

individually—simplifying network

deployment and management.

• Cost-effective: The HyperEdge

Architecture enables the

propagation of advanced features

and services from premium

switches to entry-level switches,

allowing IT organizations to

purchase only what they need

today and add intelligent services

as the business evolves. Further

cost savings are achieved with

Brocade wireless solutions using

controller-less or controller-shared

license deployment options.

The optional Brocade ICX 6400-EPS1500 is an external power supply source to provide

additional power to the Brocade ICX switches (except the Brocade ICX 6430-C/6450-C and

6430-24). It also can be used for system power redundancy and increased PoE/PoE+ power

budget to enable additional PoE/PoE+ ports. Each Brocade ICX 6400-EPS1500 can connect

up to three Brocade ICX 6430 and 6450 Switches.
