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 Specications on page 91 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.

Brocade ICX 7250-48P RJ-45, PoE/PoE+ ports 1-48 SFP+ ports 1-8
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 congured manually.
SFP or SFP+ ber 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.
NOTE
You may need software licenses to enable some SFP+ ports at the full 10 Gbps. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch
Software Licensing Guide for more information.
For information about supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers, refer to the Brocade datasheet.
