Supported hardware monitoring features
Lists the hardware monitoring features supported on FastIron devices.
The following table lists the individual BrocadeFastIron switches and the hardware monitoring features
they support. These features are supported in the Layer 2 and Layer 3 software images.
Feature ICX 6430 ICX 6450 FCX ICX 6610 ICX 6650 FSX 800
FSX 1600
ICX 7750
Virtual cable testing (VCT) No No 08.0.01 No No 08.0.01 No
Digital optical monitoring 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.10
NOTE
VCT is not supported on SX-FI48GPP, SX-FI-24GPP, SX-FI-24HF, SX-FI-2XG, and SX-FI-8XG.
The procedures in this chapter describe how to configure the software to monitor hardware
components.
Traffic Limitations in Mixed Environments
Packet loss can occur in environments that mix SX hardware modules of different generations.
The following table lists the modules by generation:
