10/100/1000 BASE-T ports
All ICX 6610 copper devices provide 24 or 48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps
full duplex. In addition, ICX 6610 ber models provide 24 SFP ports.
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 switches 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 congured manually.
SFP interfaces
The following table describes the SFP network interfaces supported on ICX 6610 devices.

You can specify a port address for a data port, stacking port, or a management port.
Specifying a data port
The port address format is stack unit/slot/port, where:
• stack unit --Species the stack unit ID. Range is from 1 to 8. If the device is not part of a stack, the stack unit ID is 1.
• slot --Species the slot number. Can be 1 or 3.
• port --Species the port number in the slot. Range is from 1 to 24 (24-port models) or 1 to 48 (48-port models).
This example shows how to specify port 2 in slot 1 of a device that is not part of a stack:
Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 1/1/2
Specifying a stacking port
The port address format is stack unit/slot/port, where:
• stack unit
• slot
• port --Species the port number in the slot. Dedicated stacking ports are 1, 2, 6, and 7.
--Species the stack unit ID. Range is from 1 to 8.
--Species the slot number. Stacking ports are in slot 2.
This example shows how to specify stacking port 2 in slot 2 of unit 3 in a stack:
Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 3/2/2
Specifying a management port
The management port number is always 1. This example shows how to specify the management port:
Brocade (config) # interface management 1
