Overview of Brocade 7800 Extension Switch
The Brocade 7800 Extension Switch is intended as a platform for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP). This
enables transmission of Fibre Channel data over long distances via IP networks by wrapping Fibre
Channel frames in IP packets. Each end of the FCIP communication path must be a compatible FCIP
device, either the Brocade 7800 or the FX8-24 blade in a DCX-family chassis.
A minimum level of Brocade Fabric Operating System (FOS) 6.3 is required to use the Brocade 7800.
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on configuring these features.
The base model of the switch is shipped with six Fibre Channel SFP ports and two physical Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) ports active. It includes FOS 6.3 and is compatible with the entire Brocade switch family.
It can operate independently or in a fabric containing multiple Extension Switches.
A fully licensed Brocade 7800 provides the following functionality features:
• FCIP capability
‐ Up to 8 FCIP tunnels.
‐ Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as a virtual Fibre Channel E_Port (VE_Port).
‐ Fibre Channel Routing Services functionality can be used over the FCIP link.
‐ Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not
merge if one end of the connection is configured as a VEx_Port. If VE_Ports are used in a
Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric
merges but the Ex_Port attached to edge fabrics do not merge. For more information see
the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
• FCIP Trunking with load balancing and network-based failure recovery
• Adaptive Rate Limiting
‐ Configurable maximum and minimum committed bandwidth per FCIP tunnel
‐ Minimum rate is guaranteed rate
• FC frame compression before FCIP encapsulation
• Fibre Channel Routing
• SO-TCP with reorder resistance
• FastWrite over FCIP (not over FC)
• Open Systems Tape Pipelining over FCIP
• XRC acceleration and FICON tape pipelining over FCIP
• FICON CUP
• FCIP QoS
• TCP performance graphing in Web Tools
The Brocade 7800 provides the following hardware features:
Brocade 7800 Extension Switch Hardware Reference Manual
13
53-1001350-05
• Up to 16 Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting Fibre Channel Routing Services with link speeds up
to 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps
• Up to six 1 GbE ports supporting the FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services features with
transmit link speeds up to 1-Gbps on each port:
‐ Two fixed copper RJ-45 ports are provided along with six SFP ports (copper or optical).
You can select either the two fixed copper RJ-45 ports or the first two SFP ports (both
designated as ge0 and ge1) for use (but not both). The SFP ports can be used with either
optical or copper SFPs.
‐ The SFP ports can be configured to use either optical or copper cabling.
• Rack mountable 1U chassis.
• Two PPC440EPx Processors running @ 667 MHz.
• One GoldenEye2 switch ASIC for 1/2/4/8 Gbps FC switching.
• One Cavium CN 5740 running with eight MIPS cores @ 750 MHz for data path processing
• One Blaster FPGA for FC compression, offloads like checksum generation/checks, etc.
• One 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port for management interface.
‐ This port supports AutoMDI/MDIX.
• One RJ45 terminal port.
• One USB port that provides storage for firmware updates, output of the supportSave command
and storage for configuration uploads and downloads.
• Two redundant, hot-swappable combined power supply/fan assembly FRUs.
• Five internal temperature sensors.

• Before the installation of the Upgrade License, ports beyond the basic four FC and two GbE are
shown as Disabled with the switchShow command.
• On the base 7800, the two SFP ports (ge0 and ge1) can be configured for use with either copper or
optical cables.
• FC frame compression is not the same as IP compression and is disabled by default. It can be
enabled using the portCfg command. For more information see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
• FCIP tunnel bandwidth has a minimum rate of 1544 Kbps (T1 rate). Configuration requests of lower
rates will be rejected.
• FCIP Trunking is available which will "virtualize" two or more TCP connections (circuits) as part of a
single FCIP tunnel. Up to four circuits can be configured for a single FCIP tunnel. See the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide for details on explicitly configuring circuits.
• Multiple FCIP tunnels can share the same GbE port. At the same time, VE_ and VEx_Ports are not
associated with a single physical GbE port.
Available licenses
The following features are available with the purchase of a specific license key for the Brocade 7800.
• Advanced Extension
• Integrated Routing (IR)
• Advanced Acceleration for FICON

Installation and safety considerations
You can install the Brocade 7800 in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
• In an EIA rack using the fixed rack mount kit, slide rack mount kit, or the mid-mount rack kit.
To install and operate the Brocade 7800 successfully, ensure that the following requirements are met:
• The primary AC input is 100-240 VAC (Brocade 7800 autosenses input voltage), 47-63 Hz.200-240
VAC is recommended.
• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance with
local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on the
Brocade 7800 nameplate.
For power supply information, see Power supply specifications on page 46 .
To ensure adequate cooling, install the Brocade 7800 with the nonport side, which contains the air
intake vents, facing a cool-air aisle.
CAUTION
Make sure the airflow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.
Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 400° C (104° F) and that the ambient humidity
remains between 20% and 85% while the Brocade 7800 is operating.
CAUTION
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might
exceed 40°C (104°F).
If installing the Brocade 7800 in a rack.
• The rack must be a standard EIA rack.
• Plan a rack space that is 1U (1.75 in.; 4.44 cm), 19 in. (48.3 cm) wide, and at least 24 in. (61cm)
deep.
• Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain ground at
all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis.
Brocade 7800 Extension Switch Hardware Reference Manual

53-1001350-05
• Verify that the additional weight of the Brocade 7800 does not exceed the rack’s weight limits or
unbalance the rack in any way.
• Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.
DANGER
Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
Installation Precautions
Review all installation precautions before installing the device. Refer to Cautions and Danger Notices
on page 59 for translations of all safety notices referenced in this manual.
General precautions
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Power precautions
This Extension Switch might have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
disconnect both power cords before servicing.
DANGER
Remove both power cords before servicing.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the
device.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into to any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable
by touching the electrical contacts to ground surface.
Connect the power cord only to a grounded outlet.
