Hardware features

The following sections describe the physical characteristics of an ICX 6430-C device. For more details about physical dimensions and power supply specifications, refer to the “Hardware Specifications” chapter.

ICX 6430-C models

There is one ICX 6430-C model:
• ICX 6430-C12: 12 x 1G Compact Switch (4 PoE/PoE+ capable ports), 4 x 100/1G Uplinks RJ45 & SFP, Fanless
FIGURE 1 ICX 6430-C12 front panel
FIGURE 2 ICX 6430-C12 rear panel

Network and management interfaces

The ICX 6430-C12 device includes the following management interfaces, and a reset button on the front panel of the device:

Console management interface

• Console management interface (RJ45 serial port)
• Out-of-band management interface (RJ45 port)
• Reset button
1 Console port 2 Slot 1 (10/100/1000 Mbps ports) 3 Slot 2 (Copper uplink ports)
FIGURE 3 Management interfaces on an ICX 6430-C12 device
4 Slot 3 (SFP uplink ports) 5 Out-of-band management port 6 Reset button
Console management interface
The console management interface is an RJ45 serial port that allows you to configure and manage the device using a third-party terminal emulation application from a directly connected PC.

Out-of-band management interface

The out-of-band management interface is an RJ45 port that allows you to configure and manage the device from the network.

Reset button

The reset button allows you to restart the system without switching the power supplies off and on or using the CLI. When the reset button is pressed, the system resets and the software is reloaded. The button is directly below the power LED on the very left of the device’s front panel.

Network interfaces for a ICX 6430 device device

An ICX 6430-C device contains the following interfaces:
• 12 1GbE ports with RJ45 copper connectors (Slot 1, Ports 1- 12)
‐ Ports 1- 4 are dedicated PoE/PoE+ ports.
Standard 802.3at PoE+ ports support up to 30W per port.
Standard 802.3af PoE ports support up to 15.4W per port.
Total PoE power capacity is 68W.
Some possible PoE/PoE+ configuration combinations include:
‐ 2 standard PoE ports supporting full capacity (15.4W x 2 = 30.8W)
10 Brocade ICX 6430-C Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide
53-1003080-01
Slot designations
1 standard PoE+port supporting full capacity (30W)
1 PoE or PoE+ port supporting partial capacity, no greater than 7W (7W)
Total PoE/PoE+ power: 67.8W
‐ 2 standard PoE+ ports supporting full capacity (30W x 2 = 60W)
1 PoE or PoE+ port supporting partial capacity, no greater than 7W (7W)
Total PoE/PoE+ power: 67W
‐ 4 standard PoE ports supporting full capacity (15.4W x 4 = 62W)
Total PoE power: 62W
• 4 100/1GbE uplink ports:
‐ 2 100/1GbE RJ45 uplink ports (Slot 2, ports C1-C2) ‐ 2 100/1GbE SFP uplink ports (Slot 3, ports F1-F2)
Slot designations
Refer to Network and management interfaces on page 9 for the location of slots 1- 3 on the front panel of an ICX 6430-C device.
Slot designations for a ICX 6430-C device TABLE 1
Device Slot 1 (1GbE RJ45 ports) Slot 2 (100/1GbE RJ45 ports) Slot 3 (100/1GbE SFP ports)
ICX 6430-C12 1GbE ports 1-12 100/1GbE ports C1- C2 100/1GbE SFP ports F1-F2
1GbE RJ45 ports
An ICX t6430-C device provides 12 RJ45 ports that reside on Slot 1 of the device. The 12 RJ45 ports operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps full duplex. Because all ports support automatic MDI or MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other devices or hubs. In addition, it is ideal (and preferred) to use straight-through cables for switch-to-switch connections.
Each port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and the data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of the port can be configured manually.
100/1GbE uplink ports
An ICX 6430-C device provides 4 independent 100Mbps/1GbE uplink ports.
100/1GbE RJ45 ports C1 and C2, residing on slot 2 of the device, can be used as uplink ports or additional network connections.
Additionally, an ICX 6430-C device contains two 100Mbps/1GbE small form factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports F1 and F2). These ports reside on slot 3 of the switch and can be used as uplink ports. In future releases they can be used for stacking, though the stacking functionality is not available in release 08.0.00. The SFP ports support 100Mbps/1GbE port speeds.
For information about supported SFP transceivers, refer to the following Brocade website:
