Router modules
NOTE
The 100GbE module requires a minimum software version of R05.2.00. Please upgrade all software on the system to a minimum
version of R05.2.00 before you install your 2x100G module.
NOTE
100xGbE modules require high-speed switch fabric modules to operate.
<Link>Figure 11 shows the front panel of the 2x100GbE 2-port interface module.
FIGURE 11 100xGbE 2-port interface module front panel
The front panel contains the following features:
• Power LED and Lnk/Act LED for each port (as described in <Link>Table 4)
• Two 100xGbE CFP ports
100xGbE interface module LEDs
The LEDs on the 100xGbE interface modules indicate the status of each port, as described in <Link>Table 4.
CFP optics
The 100 GbE interface module is 802.3ba compliant, supports CFP-based optics, and can be used with existing Brocade MLX and
NetIron XMR interface modules. This interface module requires high-speed fabric modules. 100GbE interface modules will boot in turbo
mode if all modules in the chassis are Gen-2 modules.
You must insert CFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers in each port you intend to use. CFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or
physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface for single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or
WAN physical layer (WAN PHY).
For a list of supported 100xGbE CFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers that are available from Brocade, refer to the latest version of the
Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet, available online in the following location:
http://www.brocade.com/downloads/documents/data_sheets/product_data_sheets/optics-family-ds.pdf
For more information about fiber-optic transceivers and associated cabling, refer to <Link>“Installing a fiber-optic transceiver” on
page 207.
Power supply requirements for 100xGbE modules
For power supply requirements for the 100xGbE modules, refer to <Link>“Hardware Specifications”.
