Layer 2 Ethernet switching

with robust suite of security capabilities

Base Layer 3 capabilities enable routed

topologies to the network edge with RIP v1/v2

route announcement, static routes, and VRRP

Enhanced security features in non-stacking

deployments include DHCP snooping and

dynamic ARP inspection

Optional edge routing upgrade in non-stacking

conguration adds OSPF and RIP dynamic

routing for routed edge topologies*

DATA SHEET

The Brocade

FastIron

LS Series

access switch family provides enterprise

organizations with a exible and feature-rich

solution for building a secure, high-value,

intelligent network edge. Upgradeable

with 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and IronStack

stacking technology, the FastIron LS Series

gives enterprises the cost and operational

benets of a “pay-as-you-grow” architecture.

The FastIron LS Series delivers the scalability,

QoS assurance, feature richness and

advanced security needed to implement

an intelligent high-value solution that can

scale to meet future growth at the network

edge. An enterprise may initially deploy a

standalone FastIron LS switch and later

upgrade to IronStack stacking to scale the

installation from one to eight stacked units

to meet growing user requirements.

The FastIron LS series is designed to conserve

space and power. Their one rack unit height

and shallow depth (~33 cm/13 inches) allow

them to be installed in cabinets in which

larger systems cannot be supported.

Additionally, the FastIron LS Series may be

deployed in metro area networks connecting

branch ofces with 10-GbE uplinks. In this

environment, important features include the

Brocade Metro Ring Protocol (version I and

II) for building resilient ring-based topologies

VLAN stacking and advanced multicast

capabilities including IGMPv1/v2/v3 and

MLD v1/v2 snooping for controlling multicast

trafc for high-bandwidth content delivery.

The FastIron LS switches are designed

for exibility, offering upgrade options for

redundant power, 10-Gigabit Ethernet,

stacking and dynamic routing. The FastIron

LS switches include an internal, non-removable

AC power supply. An optional one rack unit

high AC power supply unit can be used to

provide redundant power for up to four

FastIron LS switches.

*Available only on the standalone FastIron LS. This feature is not available on the IronStack enabled FastIron LS.
