FIGURE 20 20-port 100/1000 Ethernet module front panel
The front panel includes the following features:
•
LEDs to the left support the top ports, LEDs to the right support the bottom ports
•
20 100/1000 Ethernet SFP ports
Table 13 describes the LEDs for the 20-port 100/1000 Ethernet module.
100/1000 Ethernet ports
The 100/1000 Ethernet interface module contains 20 physical ports, through which you can connect your router to other network
routers at a speed of 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps.
You must insert an SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceiver (provided by Brocade) into a physical port. SFP-compliant fiber-optic
transceivers provide a physical medium-dependent (PMD) fiber interface that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or
WAN physical layer (WAN PHY).
For a list of SFP optics supported by Brocade, refer to the latest version of the Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet, available online in the
following location:

Position State Meaning
Below each Ethernet port.
(Left-side LED supports port in
top row. Right-side LED
supports port in bottom row.)
On or blinking The port is transmitting and receiving packets.
Off for an extended period The port is not transmitting or receiving packets.
