NOTE
A few examples of the front and rear panels are shown. Other models have similar front and rear
panels.
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.
System reset button
The reset button allows you to restart the system without switching the power supply off and on, using
the CLI. When the reset button is pressed, the system resets and the software is reloaded. The button
is accessible through a hole labeled RESET in the front panel.
Network interfaces for devices
The devices contain 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 73 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.
Slot designations for ICX 7250 devices TABLE 3
DeviceSlot 1 (10/100/1000 BASE-T ports)Slot 2 (SFP and SFP+ 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 ICX 7250-24G contains four small form factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports 1 through 4). The top
row consists of ports 1 and 3, and the bottom row consists of ports 2 and 4. 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 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 up-linking.
NOTE
You may need software licenses to enable some SFP+ ports at the full 10 Gbps. Check the FastIron
Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guidefor more information.
For information about supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers, refer to the Brocade Optics Family
datasheet.
Specifying a port address
You can specify a port address for an uplink (data) port, a stacking port, or a management port.
Specifying a data port
The port address format is stack_unit/slot/port, where:
• stack_unit --Specifies the stack unit ID. The range is from 1 through the maximum number of
devices supported in a stack. Refer to the technical specifications for your device for the actual
value. If the device is not part of a stack, the stack unit ID is 1.
• slot --Specifies the slot number; either 1 or 2.
• port --Specifies the port number in the slot. The range is from 1 through 24 (24-port models) or 1
through 48 (48-port models) for the RJ-45 ports. For the SFP ports, the range is from 1 through 4,
and for the SFP+ ports, the range is from 1 through 8.
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 --Specifies the stack unit ID. For models that support stacking, the range is from 1 through
the maximum number of devices (units) that can be supported in the stack.
• slot --Specifies the slot number. Stacking ports are in slot 2.
• port --Specifies the port number in the slot.
This example shows how to specify stacking port 3 in slot 2 of unit 3 in a stack:
Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 3/2/3
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
Port, system, and power status LEDs
The devices include LEDs that indicate the status of device components.
NOTE
Some examples of the port status LEDs are shown below. LEDs for similar ports are present for models
with higher number of ports.
FIGURE 6 Port status LEDs on RJ-45 ports
1. RJ-45 ports
2. Status LEDs for corresponding ports
3. PoE/PoE+ LEDs for corresponding ports
NOTE
The PoE/PoE+ LEDs are reserved on models that do not support PoE or PoE+ operation.
(Hardware can display 1-19 Stack
ID. The 10+ LED is used in
conjunction with another, 1-9, to
indicate numbers higher than 10.
The actual number of devices
supported in a stack is 12.)
Power supplies
The devices have one standard, C14, AC power supply receptacle on the rear panel of the device for
the AC power cord. In addition, there is an optional connector on some models for the power cord from
an external power supply (EPS4000) that can provide DC power to the device in the event the internal
power supply fails or for supplemental power for PoE or PoE+ applications.
The following figure shows an example of a typical rear panel for an ICX 7250 device.
FIGURE 10 ICX 7250 power supply connectors

Power supply usage
The device models support specific AC power supply inputs and numbers 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
23 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 360 W (or 720 W), the device can support 24 (or 48) PoE. The system power (12-volt
supply) portion of the EPS can be used for internal system power redundancy.

2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the wall mount brackets to the sides of the device using four
#6-32, sink-head screws on each side.
ICX 7250 devices can operate as standalone devices and also as members of traditional stacks. A
stack is a group of devices—Brocade stackable units and their connected stacking links—that are
connected so that the stack is managed as a single entity.
A traditional stack contains devices from only one model in a product family.
Stacking ports and trunks
There are eight SFP+ ports on the front panels of the ICX 7250 devices that support stacking, which
can be used as uplink (data) ports or as stacking ports. The figure below shows the ports in slot 2; the
top row consists of ports 1, 3, 5, and 7, and the bottom row consists of ports 2, 4, 6, and 8.
1. Slot 2 (SFP+ uplink or stacking ports) - StackID/Slot/Port
Stacking configuration requirements
Before configuring the traditional stack using the CLI, physically connect the devices using stacking
cables. For information about configuring a stack, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch StackingConfiguration Guide.
Traditional stack size
A traditional stack can contain a maximum of twelve ICX 7250 devices.
Stacking topologies for traditional stack
Both linear and ring topologies are supported in a traditional stack. In a linear stack topology there is a
connection between each switch that carries two-way communications across the stack. The physical
connection between the devices can use one port (stacked-port) or two ports (stacked-trunk) per trunk.
The stack uses a pair of ports (n, n+1, where n is odd and ranges from 1 through 7) even if there is
only one physical connection between the devices in a stack. The physical connections must be from
an odd-numbered port to an odd-numbered port or an even-numbered port to an even-numbered port.
The following section discusses examples of supported stacking topologies.
NOTE
The figures in the examples show a 24-port device. The 48-port devices show the same behavior for
stacking.
The following figure shows a linear stacking topology example.
• For the first device in the stack, ports (1/2/1, 1/2/2) are being used as stacked ports.
• For the second device in the stack, ports (2/2/1, 2/2/2 and 2/2/3, 2/2/4) are being used as stacked
ports.
• There is a single physical connection between device 1 and device 2 in the stack, ports 1/2/1 and
2/2/1. This is a stacked-port configuration, odd-numbered port to odd-numbered port.
• There are two physical connections between device 2 and device 3 in the stack. Port 2/2/3 is
connected to port 3/2/7 (odd-numbered port to odd-numbered port) and port 2/2/4 is connected to
3/2/8 even-numbered port to even-numbered port. This is a stacked-trunk configuration.
FIGURE 17 Linear stacking topology
1. First device in stack
2. Second device in stack
3. Third device in stack
In ring stack topology, there is an extra connection between the logical first and last devices forming a
"ring" or "closed-loop." The closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so if
one link fails, stack communications can be maintained.

Powering on the system
After you complete the physical installation, you can power on the system.
● EPS4000 External Power Supply Technical Specifications............................................ 50
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
DANGER
Before beginning the installation, see the precautions in “Power precautions.”
DANGER
Be careful not to accidently insert your fingers into the fan tray while removing it from the
chassis. The fan may still be spinning at a high speed.
EPS4000 external power supply
In the event of an AC power loss or internal power supply device failure, the Brocade EPS4000 external
power supply can be used as a 12-V, backup power source to a device when any of the DC power
supply ports are connected to an ICX 7250 device. The EPS4000 requires a minimum of one RPS17
Power Supply Unit (PSU) to be functional. Proprietary DC cables are used to connect any of the EPS
DC ports of the EPS4000 to the rear EPS4000 port of an ICX 7250 device that is supported by the
EPS4000. Each RPS17 PSU can provide backup power to one ICX 7250 device. Even though a fully
populated EPS4000 can monitor up to sixteen connected devices, the EPS4000 can provide backup
power without performance degradation to only four ICX 7250 devices.
NOTE
The primary source of 12-V power for an ICX 7250 device is the internal power supply. The EPS4000 is
designed to serve primarily as a backup source of 12-V power. You should service a failed ICX 7250
device as soon as possible after a 12-V power failure is detected.
In case of a 54-V supply failure, the EPS4000 can provide power to multiple devices up to its capacity
limit. You can set the system priority for the power budget allocation for this scenario. The default is for
the lower number port to have the higher priority. Should a higher priority device have a 54-V supply
failure while a lower priority device is already being serviced by the PSU, the supply will not switch to
provide power to the higher priority device to maintain continuity of service. The EPS4000 uses the
next PoE-power-budget cycle to reallocate power among the connected ICX 7250 devices.
In the PoE power extension mode the EPS4000 can also provide additional power to support the PoE
ports as needed. For more information about connecting an ICX 7250 device to the EPS4000, refer to
Connecting devices to the external power supply on page 49.
Each RPS17 PSU can provide up to 720 W at 54 Volts and 120 W at 12 Volts. The RPS17 draws
power from a standard AC source and converts it to DC for use by the switches.
NOTE
The internal power supply of the ICX 7250 devices is not a field-replaceable unit (FRU). The devices
must be shut down by administrators for replacement.
Brocade recommends that you pay attention to the PoE or PoE+ port configuration of the device when
connecting to an EPS4000. The internal power supply of each PoE or PoE+ device has a maximum
number of supported PoE or PoE+ ports. Brocade recommends that when the EPS4000 is used as a
redundant power source for the PoE device, that the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports of the
external power supply must not exceed the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports of the internal
power supply capability of each device.
The following devices are supported by the Brocade EPS4000:
• ICX 7250-24
• ICX 7250-24P
• ICX 7250-48
• ICX 7250-48P
NOTE
The ICX 7250-24G is not supported by the EPS4000.

Preparing the installation site
EPS4000 external power supplies can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat
surface.
The installation site should meet these requirements:
• Be at the center of all the devices you want to link, and near a power outlet.
• Maintain temperatures within 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F) and humidity levels within 5 to 95%, noncondensing.
• Provide adequate space (approximately 5.08 cm [2 in.]) on all sides for proper airflow.
• Be accessible for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices.
• Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
• Allow for twisted-pair cables to be routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and
other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.
• Provide a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz, is within 2.44 m
(8 ft) of each device, and is powered from an independent circuit breaker.
• As with any electrical equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
Rack-mount installation considerations
Before mounting the external power supply in a rack, consider the following factors:
• Temperature: Because the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient
room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating
temperature range.
• Airflow: Be sure that the airflow direction for all equipment in a rack is the same or consistent.
• Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted device.
• Circuit overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
Installing the device
You can install the device on a desktop or in an equipment rack.
DANGER

Connecting the EPS4000 cord
There are two types of EPS4000 cords available, 1:1 and 1:2. The 1:1 cord can deliver 720 Watts at
54 Volts to one switch. The 1:2 cord can deliver 360 Watts at 54 Volts to each of two switches from
one port on the EPS4000 power supply. Both cords deliver up to 120 Watts at 12 Volts. You must use
a 1:2 cord if you want an ICX 7250-48P device to share 54-V power with another device. Both 1:1 and
1:2 cords will deliver only 360 Watts of 54-V power to an ICX 7250-24P device.
The headers on the cords are color coded to help you connect them correctly to the switch and the
EPS4000. You must connect the cables tightly using a flat-blade screwdriver for the latching screws.
You could see intermittent power supply failures otherwise.

Configuring IP parameters for
devices running Layer 3 software
You can access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the console port. After you assign an IP address,
you can access the system through Telnet or Brocade Network Advisor.
Complete the following steps to attach a management station to the console port.
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the console (mini-USB) port of the device.
To connect the console port to a DB-9 port, you need a cable with mini-USB and DB-9 connectors.
For information about locating the serial port, refer to Network and management interfaces on page
14.
The serial port has a mini_USB connector. For port pinout information, refer to Brocade ICX 7250
Switch Technical Specifications on page 73.
NOTE
You must run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2. Launch the terminal emulation program and set the following session parameters:
• Baud: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
The console serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or
SNMP workstation. When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display
the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation window, as shown in the following example.
device>
If you see this prompt, you are connected to the system and can proceed to the task Password
assignment on page 54.
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. For more information, refer to the
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
If you do not see the prompt, make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the
Brocade system.
Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the previously configured
session settings, make sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you
attached to the Brocade system.
Password assignment
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly
recommends assigning passwords. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
NOTE
You can assign passwords using Brocade Network Advisor if an enable password for a Super User
has been configured on the device.
• User EXEC - The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some
system information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.
• Privileged EXEC - This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. You
can perform tasks such as managing files on the flash module, saving the system configuration to
flash, and clearing caches at this level.
• CONFIG - The configuration level. This level allows you to configure the system IP address and
configure switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged
in to the Privileged EXEC level.
You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:
• Super User - Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system
administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.
NOTE
You must set a Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.
• Port Configuration - Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide)
parameters.
• Read-Only - Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read
access.
Assigning passwords
Complete the following steps to set passwords.
NOTE
Depending on the device you purchased, and the code (Layer 2 or Layer 3) loaded on your system, the
router prompt is displayed accordingly. For example, for an ICX 7250-48P device running Layer 3 code
on the device, the router prompt displays ICX 7250-48P Router> at the CLI level.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged EXEC mode:
device> enable
2. Access the config mode of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
3. Enter the following command to set the Super User password:
device(config)# enable super-user-password joe
NOTE
You must set the Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.
4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:
device(config)# enable port-config-password john
device(config)# enable read-only-password sam
NOTE
If you forget your Super User password, refer to the Recovering from a lost password on page 56
task.
Syntax:enable { super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password} text
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.
Recovering from a lost password
By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if a password has been configured for the
device but the password has been lost, you can regain Super User access to the device using the
following procedure.
NOTE
Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.
1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Brocade device.
2. Reboot the device.
3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot
monitor mode.
4. Enter no password. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)
5. Enter boot. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check.
After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
Syntax: [no] password
Syntax: boot
IP address configuration
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can
manage the system using the other management interfaces.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so
on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.
• To enter a classical IP network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter
"10.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for an IP address with a Class C subnet mask.
• To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in the
mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter "10.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that
has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits.
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (for example,
255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the prefix format. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch
Administration Guide.
Devices running Layer 2 software
Use the following procedure to configure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software.
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter . This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you
accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory
command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
device(config)#
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the device.
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
5. Set a default gateway address for the device.
device(config)# ip default-gateway 10.22.3.1
NOTE
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addrip-mask | ip-addr/mask-bits }
Syntax: [no] ip default-gateway ip-addr
Devices running Layer 3 software
Before attaching equipment to a Brocade device running Layer 3 software, you must assign an interface
IP address to the subnet on which the device will be located. You must use the serial connection to
assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each port, virtual interface, and loopback
interface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size
of the subnet-per-interface table.
The following procedure shows how to add an IP address and mask to a router port.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
device> enable
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter . This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you
accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory
command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.
Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software
3. Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
device# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#
4. Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.
device(config)# interface ethernet 2
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
NOTE
You can use the ip addressip-addr/mask-bits command if you know the subnet mask length. In the
example in step 4, you could enter ip address 10.22.3.44/24.
Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same subnet
on the interface.
Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software
This section describes how to configure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.
Configuring IP addresses
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 interfaces:
• Ethernet port
• Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or "VE")
• Loopback interface
By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number to
128 IP addresses.
NOTE
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface
parameters on individual ports in the VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtual
routing interface itself.
Assigning an IP address to an Ethernet port
Enter the following commands to assign an IP address to port 1/1/1.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
Brocade(config)# ip address 10.45.6.1 255.255.255.0
You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format, as follows:
Brocade># ip address 10.45.6.1/24
Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addrip-mask | ip-addr/mask-bits }
Assigning an IP address to a loopback interface
Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. They can add
stability to the network because they are not subject to route flap problems that can occur due to
unstable links between a Layer 3 device and other devices. You can configure up to four loopback
interfaces on a Layer 3 device.
You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.
NOTE
If you configure the device to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor, you must
also configure a loopback interface on the neighbor and configure the neighbor to use that loopback
interface to communicate with the Brocade device.
To add a loopback interface, enter commands such as those shown in the following example:
Brocade(config)# exit
Brocade(config)# interface loopback 1
Brocade(config)# ip address
10.0.0.1/24
Syntax:interface loopbacknum
The num parameter specifies the virtual interface number. You can specify from 1 through the
maximum number of virtual interfaces supported on the device. To display the maximum number of
virtual interfaces supported on the device, enter the show default values command.
Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface
A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a Layer 3
device. You can configure routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3 device to
route protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other, without using an external router.
NOTE
The device uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1/1) as the
MAC address for all ports within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.
Enter commands similar to the following to add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP
address on the interface.
Brocade(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_10.1.2.1/24
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# untag 1/1/1 to 1/1/4
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1
Brocade(config-vif-1)# ip address 10.1.2.1/24
The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN named "IPSubnet_10.1.2.1/24" and add a range of untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface command
creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last two commands change to the
interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the interface.
Syntax: router-interface ve num
Syntax: interface ve num
Deleting an IP address
Enter a command similar to the following to delete an IP address.
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address 10.1.2.1
This command deletes IP address 10.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address *
Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addr | * }
Connecting network devices
Brocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other
Brocade devices.
Connectors
For port pinouts, refer to Brocade ICX 7250 Switch Technical Specifications on page 73.
Cable specifications
For information about supported transceivers and cable lengths and types, refer to the Brocade optics
family datasheet.
Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another
Brocade device, a crossover cable is required (see the figures below). If the hub is equipped with an
uplink port, it requires a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the
connection between two 1000Base-T ports. In this case, a straight-through cable may work just as well

Connecting a network device to a fiber port
For direct attachment from the device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, using a fiber-optic
transceiver, you need fiber cabling with an LC connector.
To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must perform the following
tasks:
• Install a fiber-optic transceiver (SFP or SFP+).
• Cable the fiber-optic transceiver.
For instructions on installing fiber-optic transceivers, refer to Installing a fiber-optic transceiver on page
70.
For instructions on cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, refer to Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver on page
71.
For instructions on cleaning a fiber-optic module, refer to Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors on page
72.
Troubleshooting network connections
• For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the device and the connected device)
are snug.
• Verify that the device and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly.
• Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:
‐For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling.
‐For fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the device is connected to the
receive port on the connected device, and that the receive port on the device is connected
to the transmit port on the connected device.
• Use the CLI to verify that the port has not been disabled through a configuration change. If you
have configured an IP address on the device, you also can use Brocade Network Advisor.
• If the other procedures do not resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.
• If a 1-Gbps optic transceiver is inserted into a ICX 7250 device, you must configure the port using
the speed-duplex 1000-full-master command at the interface level.
Digital optical monitoring
NOTE
10 Gbps optical transceivers are not supported on ICX 7250-24G devices.
You can configure your device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally or by
specified port. When this feature is enabled, the system monitors the temperature and signal power
levels for the optical transceivers in the specified ports. Console messages and syslog messages are
sent when optical operating conditions fall below or rise above the SFP and SFP+ manufacturer’s
recommended thresholds. For more information about digital optical monitoring, refer to the FastIron
If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses.

Managing temperature settings
The device contains temperature sensors that the software reads based on a configurable device poll
time. The devices have two automatic speed fan control settings based on the temperature. To protect
the device from overheating, the following temperature threshold levels exist:
• The warning level is the temperature at which the device generates a syslog message. It is
configurable up to 100°C.
• The shutdown level is the temperature at which the device reboots. It is set by the device and is not
configurable. When the device temperature reaches the shutdown level, it generates a warning
message that the device’s temperature is over the shutdown level and the device will shut down in
five minutes. The system restarts five minutes after the device reaches the temperature shutdown
level.

Temperature threshold levels
The fan speed settings are set by the device, and are not configurable. The following table describes
the temperature thresholds in Celsius of the fan speeds for the Brocade devices.
By default, the warning temperature level is 10 degrees less than the critical temperature level. The
fan speed is high when the temperature level for a device reaches a high threshold level. The fan
speed is decreased when the temperature reaches a low threshold level.
To change the temperature at which the device sends a syslog message and an SNMP trap, enter a
command similar to the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
Brocade# temperature warning 1 82
Syntax:temperature warningstack-idvalue
The stack-id can be a value from 1 through 12.
The value variable is the temperature warning level, in Celsius. You cannot set this level higher than the
maximum value allowed by your device. The temperature warning level must be at least five Celsius
degrees less than the temperature shutdown level, which is automatically set by the device.
The following console and syslog message is displayed when the temperature reaches the warning
level:
!!! Temperature is over warning level on stack unit 1!!!
Temperature shutdown levels
When the temperature crosses the critical (shutdown) threshold levels, the device will reset after 5
minutes. The following console and syslog message is displayed:
!!! Temperature is over shutdown level, please shutdown your stack unit 1 to avoid hw
damage!!!
NOTE
Brocade recommends that you shut down your stack unit to avoid any hardware damage.
Changing the temperature poll time
By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current temperature.
This poll rate is controlled by the device poll time, which also controls how often the software polls other
system components.
● Copper or fiber-optic module replacement......................................................................69
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
The ICX 7250 devices require minimal maintenance for their hardware components. However, Brocade
recommends cleaning the fiber-optic connectors on a fiber-optic port and the connected fiber cable
each time you disconnect the cable.
Copper or fiber-optic module replacement
You can replace the copper and fiber-optic modules (SFP and SFP+ transceivers). You can remove an
SFP or an SFP+ transceiver from a slot and replace it with a new one while the ICX 7250 device is
powered on and running.
Removing a copper or fiber-optic module
You can remove a copper or fiber SFP or SFP+ transceiver from a slot while the ICX 7250 device is
powered on and running.
While removing a copper or fiber-optic module, be sure to wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that can
be inserted in the ESD connector on the ICX 7250 device.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
To remove a copper or fiber-optic module from an SFP or SFP+ slot, do the following.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as
an equipment rack).
2. Disconnect the copper or fiber cable connector from the port connector.
3. Unlock the copper or fiber-optic module by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of
the module. This unlocks the module from the front panel.
NOTE
On 1000Base-SX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000Base-LX ports, the
bail latch is enclosed in a blue sleeve.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as
an equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent
incorrect insertion.
NOTE
The location of the fiber-optic interface(s) shown is for illustration purposes only. They may be in a
slightly different location on the device you are using.
FIGURE 33 Installing a transceiver
1. Transceiver
Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver
Perform the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future
use.
NOTE
Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors
and the port connectors.
2. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver
connector until the tabs lock into place.
3. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly.
For more information about the LED indicators, refer to Observing LEDs on page 63.
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP or SFP+) and the fiber
cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect
and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems, such as reducing
the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When
not using an SFP or SFP+ connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.
This document highlights the features and specifications for the Brocade ICX 7250 switch.

Assurez-vous que le dispositif ne risque pas de surcharger les circuits d'alimentation, le
câblage et la protection de surintensité. Pour déterminer le risque de surcharge des circuits
d'alimentation, additionnez l'intensité nominale (ampères) de tous les dispositifs installés sur le
même circuit que le dispositif en question. Comparez alors ce total avec la limite de charge du
circuit. L'intensité nominale maximum en ampères est généralement imprimée sur chaque
dispositif près des connecteurs d'entrée d'alimentation.
PRECAUCIÓNVerifique que el instrumento no sobrecargue los circuitos de corriente, el cableado y la
protección para sobrecargas. Para determinar la posibilidad de sobrecarga en los circuitos de
suministros, añada las capacidades nominales de corriente (amp) de todos los instrumentos
instalados en el mismo circuito que el instrumento. Compare esta suma con el límite nominal
para el circuito. Las capacidades nominales de corriente máximas están generalmente
impresas en los instrumentos, cerca de los conectores de corriente de entrada.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into to any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable
by touching the electrical contacts to ground surface.
VORSICHTBevor Sie ein Kabel in einen Anschluss einstecken, entladen Sie jegliche im Kabel
vorhandene elektrische Spannung, indem Sie mit den elektrischen Kontakten eine geerdete
Oberfläche berühren.
