The Brocade G610 switch oers the following features and capabilities:
•Up to 24 auto-sensing ports supporting 32-Gbps SFP+ technology in a single domain.
•Dynamic Ports on Demand (Dynamic-POD) scaling from a base conguration of 8 ports to 24 ports (two 8-port SFP+ POD).
•4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch ports.
–A 32-Gbps optical transceiver can auto-negotiate to 32 Gbps, 16 Gbps, or 8 Gbps.
–A 16-Gbps optical transceiver can auto-negotiate to 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, or 4 Gbps.
NOTE
The port speed is determined by the maximum speed supported by the optical transceivers at the either end of the
link.
•Universal ports self-congure as a E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or D_Ports.
–A Diagnostic Port (D_Port) provides diagnostics, troubleshooting, and verication services for the physical media.
•One built-in xed power supply unit (not a FRU) with a port-side power inlet.
•Four integrated fans (no fan FRUs) for cooling the system. This allows a single fan failure and permits the switch to continue to
function properly if a fan fails. Only nonport-side intake airow for cooling is supported.
–If one fan fails and the temperature is less than 56C, the fans run at high speed. If the temperatures increases more than
56C, a critical temperature warning is displayed and the device shuts down in two minutes.
–If two fans fail and the temperature is less than 55C, the fans run at high speed. If the temperature increases more than
55C, a critical temperature warning is displayed and the device shuts down in two minutes.
–If the third fans fails, a warning is displayed and the device is immediately shut down.
•Hardware-enabled input and output (I/O) latency statistics collection.
•Hardware-enabled VM support.

(SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media.
•Extended distance Fibre Channel to support long distance native FC connectivity.
•Port-to-port latency is minimized to 900 nanoseconds including FEC using cut-through frame switching at 32 Gbps.
•A dual-core T1022E processor operating at 1.2 GHz delivers high performance, scalability, and advanced Fabric Vision
functionality.
•One 1000/100/10 Mbps RJ45 connector Ethernet port for management. In conjunction with EZSwitchSetup, this port
supports switch IP address discovery and conguration, eliminating the need to attach a serial cable to congure the switch IP
address.
•A RS-232 3-wire (Tx, Rx, and Gnd) universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) serial port to BMC adapter with a
RJ-45 connector for debugging initial switch setup (if not using EZSwitchSetup) and factory default restoration is included with
the switch. Although there are LEDs in the adapter, they are not used.
•An internal e-USB module with 2 GB of persistent storage. This provides increased serviceability, and error logging functionality
by facilitating easier rmware upgrades and downloads of the system log les.
•One external USB connector.
•24 hot-pluggable SFP+ optical transceiver slots.
•24 bicolor (green/amber) LEDs to indicate the status for each port.
•One green LED to indicate valid system power.
•One bicolor (green/amber) LED to indicate the system status.
•Two Ethernet LEDs: one bicolor (green/amber) LED to indicate link speed (1000/100/10 Mbps) and one green LED to
indicate trac activity.
•A Serial EEPROM for switch identication.
•Real-time fan monitoring.
•Real-time digital thermometers for temperature monitoring.
•Real-time clock (RTC) with battery.
License options
