Product Overview

Product overview

This chapter contains an overview of the following FastIron X Series® Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches:

• FastIron SuperX (FSX)

• FastIron SX 800 (FSX 800)

• FastIron SX 1600 (FSX 1600)

• FastIron SX 1600 Acoustic Noise-Reduced (FSX 1600-ANR)

Except for the ANR kit and fan modules in the FSX 1600-ANR chassis, the FSX 1600 and FSX
1600-ANR are similar devices and use the same switch fabric, management and interface modules,
and power supplies. Therefore, the FSX 1600 and FSX 1600-ANR are collectively referred to as the
FSX 1600 chassis throughout this manual, except where explicitly noted.

Designed for medium to large enterprise backbones, the FastIron X Series chassis devices are
modular switches that provide the enterprise network with a complete end-to-end Enterprise LAN
solution, ranging from the wiring closet to the LAN backbone.

Hardware benefits

The FastIron X Series chassis devices provide the following benefits:

• The FSX management module is non-blocking, with a built-in switch fabric module and twelve

combination Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) copper or fiber ports that provide connectivity to your
existing management network.

• The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules have a console port and a 10/100/1000

port that provide connectivity to your existing management network. The management
modules optionally support 2-port 10-GbE ports or 8-port GbE fiber and copper ports.

• The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules are interchangeable between devices.

However, you cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same chassis.

• Optional dual management modules on the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 provide 100% redundancy.

• The crossbar (xbar) architecture enables the management module to switch 30 Gigabits per

second between each interface module and within the management module.

• The interface modules and power supplies are interchangeable among all FastIron X Series

chassis devices. However, you cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same
chassis.

• The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management, switch fabric, and interface modules are hot

swappable, which means you can remove and replace them while the chassis is powered on
and running.

• All FastIron X Series chassis devices have a passive backplane.

• Completely separate data and control planes, which results in uncompromised switching

performance, increased reliability of both planes, and increased security of the control plane in
the event of a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on the data plane.

• Distributed data and control planes, which results in uncompromised wire-speed performance

for the data plane and faster and more efficient performance of management functions for the
control plane.

Supported configurations

Premium FastIron X Series chassis devices support Layer 2 switching and full Layer 3 multiprotocol
routing. Standard devices support Layer 2 and base Layer 3 switching. All standard FastIron X
Series chassis devices can be upgraded to full Layer 3 multiprotocol routing, at which time they are
considered to be premium devices.

Depending on the type of management module installed in the device, IPv6 premium devices
support either IPv4 multiprotocol routing and IPv6 host and management features, or IPv6 and
IPv4 multiprotocol routing and IPv6 host and management features. For more information, refer to

“FSX management modules” on page 14 and “FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules” on

page 18.

Software features

Software features differ depending on the software version that is loaded on the device and the
type of management module that is installed in the chassis. Refer to the FastIron Configuration
Guide for a complete list of software features supported on your device.

POE applications

Brocade’s FastIron X Series chassis devices with POE provide Power over Ethernet, compliant with
the standards described in the IEEE 802.3af specification for delivering in-line power. The 802.3af
specification defines the standard for delivering power over existing network cabling infrastructure,
enabling multicast-enabled full streaming audio and video applications for converged services,
such as, Voice over IP (VoIP), WLAN access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other IP technology
devices.

Software features

(POE)

1

POE technology eliminates the need for an electrical outlet and dedicated UPS near IP powered
devices. With power sourcing devices, such as Brocade’s FastIron X Series chassis devices with
POE, power is consolidated and centralized in the wiring closets, improving the reliability and
resiliency of the network. Because POE can provide power over Ethernet cable, power is
continuous, even in the event of a power failure.

For POE port density, refer to “POE port density” on page 2.

For more information about POE and how to configure it, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.

Support for IPv6 modules

The FastIron X Series chassis devices support IPv6 management and interface modules.

For details about IPv6 modules, refer to the following sections in this chapter:

• “IPv6 hardware support guidelines”

• “FSX management modules” on page 14

• “FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules” on page 18

• “Interface modules” on page 23

Gigabit Ethernet ports on the FSX management module
The FSX management module’s front panel includes 12 combination copper and fiber Gigabit

Ethernet ports.

• RJ-45 copper interfaces for 1000Base-T, Cat5 copper cabling – The copper ports support

automatic MDI or MDIX detection, and use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the
speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the
other end of the link, and adjust the port accordingly. Note that ports operating at 1000 Mbps
operate in the full-duplex mode only and cannot be modified.

• Mini-GBIC slots for the types of fiber cabling listed in Table 32 on page 168.

The Management Module does not support copper mini-GBICs.

Some older SFP modules (mini-GBICs for Gigabit Ethernet ports) have latching mechanisms which
are larger than the newer parts. These latches could interfere with one another when inserted side
by side into a module. Avoid using these mini-GBICs side by side in the same module. These older
modules are identified by the number PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-XPL-00-L13-23 above the Serial
Number. All newer mini-GBICs do not have this limitation.

The Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports operate at a fixed speed of 1000 Mbps (they do not support 10
Mbps or 100 Mbps connections), and use auto-negotiation to automatically configure the highest
performance mode of inter-operation with the connected device.

One port out of each pair of copper and fiber ports can be active at a time. For example, you can
use either copper port 2 or fiber port 2, but not both at the same time. You can use a combination
of fiber and copper ports or all copper or all fiber ports, as needed.

NOTE

If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connector
takes precedence over the copper connector. These ports support true media automatic detection,
meaning the device selects the fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link
cannot be established, the device selects the copper media.

Typical uses of these ports include but are not limited to the following:

• Connecting a PC through which you can access the system directly or through a Telnet

connection and configure, monitor, and manage the FSX system.

• Connecting a Gigabit Ethernet switch, which will provide connectivity to your existing

management network. You can then access the FSX system and configure, monitor, and
manage the system from a management station.

The existing management networks into which you can connect the Gigabit Ethernet ports must be
separate and isolated from the network over which user packets are switched and routed as shown
in Figure 10.

LEDs on the FSX management module
The FSX management module provides status information using the LEDs listed in Table 5. The

location of the LEDs is as follows:

• The fiber connectors use the LEDs located beneath the mini-GBIC slots.

• The copper connectors use square LEDs located in the upper right and left corners of the

upper Gigabit copper connectors. The LED on the left side is for the upper copper connector.
The LED on the right side is for the lower copper connector.

Tab le 5 describes the LEDs on the FSX management module.

Built-in switch fabric module
The switch fabric module switches user packets from one interface module installed in the chassis

to another. On the FSX, the switch fabric module is built into the management module.

Console port
The Console port on the management module is a standard DB-9 serial connector through which

you can attach a PC or terminal to configure the system using the command line interface (CLI).

The Console port interfaces the control plane only and not the data plane.

Reset button
The reset button on the management module allows you to restart the system. The reset button is

recessed to prevent it from being pushed accidentally.

The reset button is located next to the console port on the management module.

FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules

The management modules for the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 are interchangeable between devices.
Standard management modules provide Layer 2 and base Layer 3 functionality only. Premium
management modules support full Layer 3 functionality.

The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules are dedicated, which means that you must
install them in the FSX 800 or FSX 1600 chassis only. If you attempt to install these management
modules in the FSX or other Brocade chassis, the chassis and modules will not function properly.

You cannot intermix different management modules in the same FSX 800 or FSX 1600 chassis. The
management modules must be of like-kind.

You cannot intermix IPv6 and IPv4 modules in the same FSX 800 or FSX 1600 chassis.
