14 53-1003898-02

Brocade ICX 7250 Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Overview

Console management interface

The console management interface is a mini-USB port that allows you to configure and manage the device using a third-party terminal emulation application from a directly connected PC or through a terminal server.

Out-of-band management interface

The out-of-band management interface is an RJ-45 port that allows you to access, configure and manage the device from the network.

Network interfaces for devices

The Brocade ICX 7250 contains the following network interfaces:

∙ 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with RJ-45 copper connectors ∙ SFP or SFP+ ports

SFP ports support 1 Gbps port speed. SFP+ ports support both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps port speeds.

NOTE Refer to the Brocade ICX 7250 Switch Technical Specifications on page 101 to see the ports supported by your model.

Slot designations

Refer to Network and management interfaces on page 14 for the location of slot 1 and slot 2 on the front panel of the 24-port models and the 48-port models.

TABLE 2 Slot designations for ICX 7250 devices

10/100/1000 BASE-T ports

All 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. Because all ports support automatic MDI or MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, servers, or 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.

SFP or SFP+ fiber ports

The Brocade ICX 7250-24G contains four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports 1 through 4). The top row contains oddnumbered ports and the bottom row contains even-numbered ports. These ports reside on slot 2 of the switch and can be used as uplink (data) ports. These ports support 1 Gbps but not 10 Gbps port speeds.

All other Brocade ICX 7250 devices contain eight SFP+ ports that support 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps port speeds. The top row ports are odd numbered (ports 1, 3, 5, and 7) and the bottom row ports are even numbered (ports 2, 4, 6, and 8). All ports can be used for stacking or uplinking.

Brocade ICX 7250 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 53-1003898-02 15

NOTE You may need software licenses to enable some SFP+ ports at the full 10 Gbps. Refer to the

Licensing Guide

For information about supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers, refer to the Brocade datasheet.

Power supply usage

The Brocade ICX 7250 models support specific AC power supply inputs and a number of PoE and PoE+ ports with an internal power supply.

NOTE Depending on the configuration, each EPS4000 connection from the device to the EPS4000 can add 24 ports of PoE (Class

3) or 12 ports of PoE+ power (54-volt supply) in addition to the internal power supply by providing system power backup. If the overall PoE requirement is less than the power budget of 370 W (or 740 W), the device can support 24 (or 48) PoE ports. The system power (12-volt supply) portion of the EPS4000 can be used for internal system power redundancy.
