Hardware features

The following sections describe the physical characteristics of an ICX 6450-C device. For more details about physical dimensions and power supply specifications, refer to the Hardware Specifications on page 41 chapter.

ICX 6450-C models

There is one ICX 6450-C model:
• ICX 6450-C12-PD: A compact switch with 12 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports (ports 1-4 are also PoE­and MACsec-capable). This switch also has 2 x 10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ45 Uplink ports that are also Powered Device (PD) capable and 2 x 100M/1G SFP uplink ports. The uplink ports are also MACsec-capable.
FIGURE 1 ICX 6450-C12-PD front panel
FIGURE 2 ICX 6450-C12-PD rear panel

Network and management interfaces

The ICX 6450-C12-PD device includes the following management interfaces, and a reset button on the front panel of the device:
Brocade ICX 6450-C Compact Switch Hardware Installation Guide 53-1003081-01

Console management interface

• Console management interface (RJ45 serial port)
• Out-of-band management interface (RJ45 port)
• Reset button
These RJ45 management ports are located together on the left side of the front panel as shown in the figure below.
1 Console port 2 Slot 1 (10/100/1000 Mbps ports) 3 Slot 2 (Copper uplink and PD ports)
FIGURE 3 Management interfaces on an ICX 6450-C12-PD 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 an ICX 6450-C device

An ICX 6450-C device contains the following interfaces:
• 12 10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ45 copper connectors (Slot 1, Ports 1- 12)
‐ Ports 1- 4 are dedicated PoE/PoE+ ports. ‐ Ports 1- 4 are MACSec-ready.
• 4 100M/1G ports:
‐ 2 10/100/1000 BASE-T, RJ45 ports (Slot 2, ports PD1/C1-PD2/C2); can be used as
uplink or PD ports
‐ 2 100M/1G SFP uplink ports (Slot 3, ports F1-F2)

Slot designations
Slot designations
The table below lists the slot designations for an ICX 6450-C device. Refer to Figure 3 on page 10 for the location of slots 1- 3 on the front panel of an ICX 6450-C device.
Slot designations for a ICX 6450-C device TABLE 1
Device Slot 1 (10/100/1000 BASE-T
RJ45 ports)
ICX 6450-C12-PD Ports 1-12 Ports PD1/C1-PD2/ C2 Ports F1-F2
Slot 2 (10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ45 uplink ports)
Slot 3 (1G SFP uplink ports)
10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ45
An ICX 6450-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.
Ports 1-4 are PoE+ and MACsec-capable. Ports 5-12 are non-PoE.
SFP and RJ45 uplink ports
An ICX 6450-C device provides 4 independent uplink ports that are MACsec-capable.
The 10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ45 PD1/C1 and PD2/C2 ports, residing on slot 2 of the device, can be used as uplink ports or additional network connections. They can also be used as PD ports.
The other 2 uplink ports are 100M/1G small form factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports F1 and F2), which reside on slot 3 of the switch. The SFP ports support 100Mbps/1GbE port speeds.
For information about supported SFP transceivers, refer to the following Brocade website:
http://www.brocade.com/downloads/documents/data_sheets/product_data_sheets/Optics_DS.pdf
MACsec-Capable Ports
The ICX 6450-C device provides 8 ports that are MACsec-capable, as shown in the figure below.

Power supplies

Power supplies
An ICX 6450-C device has one standard power supply receptacle on the rear panel of the device for the AC power cord.
FIGURE 7 ICX 6450-C AC power connection

AC power mode

The table below shows the device power usage and the PoE/PoE+ power configurations available to PSE ports in the AC power mode.
When you use the AC power supply, PD is disabled. The only power to the system comes from the AC power supply. In this mode, the ICX 6450-C device can provide PSE power through ports 1-4 to down­stream devices. The total power available to the PSE ports (ports 1-4) is 68W.
