FC8-32E supports these port types:

 

 

 

F_Port, E_Port, Ex_Port, and M_Port.

 

 

 

FC8-48E supports these port types:

 

 

 

F_Port, E_Port, Ex_Port, and M_Port.

 

 

 

FC16-32 supports these port types:

 

 

 

F_Port, E_Port, Ex_Port, M_Port and D_Port.

 

 

 

FC16-48 supports these port types:

FX8-24 supports these port types:

 

 

 

F_Port, FL_Port, E_Port, and Ex_Port on FC.

 

 

 

VE_Port on GbE.

 

 

 

NOTE: Self-discovery is based on switch type (U_Port) with an optional port type

 

 

 

control.

 

 

 

 

Data traffic types

Fabric switches supporting unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast.

 

 

 

 

 

Media types

 

8Gb: FC8-32E, -48E, and FS8-18 blade require Brocade hot-pluggable SFP+, LC

 

 

 

connector; 8Gb SWL.

 

 

 

8Gb: FC8-64, require Brocade hot-pluggable mSFP; 8Gb SWL only.

 

 

 

16Gb: FC16-32 and -48, require Brocade hot-pluggable SFP+; 16Gb, 10Gb, or 8Gb

 

 

SWL and LWL.

 

 

 

1 GbE: FX8-24 can use Brocade-branded 4Gb SFP.

 

 

 

Core blade (CR16-4) uses Brocade-branded, hot-pluggable QSFP; 16Gb x 4 SWL only

 

 

for ICL connections.

 

 

 

Distance subject to fiber-optic cable and port speed.

 

 

 

Fabric Services

Advanced Performance Monitoring; Adaptive Networking (Ingress Rate Limiting, Traffic

 

 

Isolation, QoS); BB credit recovery; Brocade Advanced Zoning (default zoning,

 

 

 

port/WWN zoning, broadcast zoning); Dynamic Path Selection (DPS); Extended Fabrics;

 

 

Fabric Watch; FDMI; FICON CUP; Frame Redirection; FSPF; Integrated Routing (FR4-18i

 

 

SAN Extension blade not required for routing); IPFC; ISL Trunking; Management Server;

 

 

N_Port Trunking; NPIV; NTP v3; Port Fencing; Registered State Change Notification

 

 

 

(RSCN); Reliable Commit Service (RCS); Simple Name Server (SNS); syslog; Top

 

 

 

Talkers; Virtual Fabrics (Logical Switch, Logical Fabric).

 

 

 

 

Inter-chassis link

Chassis-to-chassis linkage through connectors on the core switch blade (CR16-4).

 

(ICL/QSFP)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

System size and weight

The weight of the Brocade DCX 8510-4 can vary considerably depending on the combination of blades installed. Use Table 15 and the system FRU weights table to determine the weight of the Brocade DCX 8510-4 with your combination of port and application blades.
