Hardware features

Management modules

The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 device each require one management module and optionally support

two management modules for 100% redundancy. Each management module occupies one half

slot.

FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules

Management modules for the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 are interchangeable between devices.

Standard management modules provide Layer 2 and base Layer 3 functionality only. Premium

management modules support full Layer 3 functionality.

NOTE

FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules are dedicated, which means that you must install

them in FSX 800 or FSX 1600 devices only. If you attempt to install these management modules in

the FSX or other Brocade device, the device and modules will not function properly.

NOTE

You cannot mix different management modules in the same FSX 800 or FSX 1600 device. The

management module models must be identical.

NOTE

You cannot mix IPv6 and IPv4 modules in the same FSX 800 or FSX 1600 device.

Table 4 lists the management modules for FSX 800 and FSX 1600 devices.

NOTE

512 MB SDRAM supports large routing tables (1,000,000 BGP routes) with the full Layer 3 code.
