Component Specification
Machine type 7D9J
System Architecture
Fibre Channel Ports 128 ports (96 64G SFP+ ports, plus 16 2x64G SFP-DD ports), each supporting E_Ports,
F_Ports, M_Ports, D_Ports, and EX_Ports.
48-port base configuration; additional ports are enabled with two 24-port SFP+ PODs
(Ports on Demand), plus a 32-port SFP-DD POD (16 2x64G SFP-DD transceivers), scaling
the switch from 48 ports to 128 ports. The SFP+ ports are capable of auto-negotiating to 8,
16, 32, or 64G speeds depending on the SFP+ model and the minimum supported speed
of the optical transceiver at the other end of the link.
Scalability Full-fabric architecture with a maximum of 239 switches
Certified maximum 4K active nodes; 56 switches, 19 hops in Brocade Fabric OS® fabrics
Performance Non-blocking architecture with wire-speed forwarding of traffic:
8GFC: 8.5 Gb/s line speed, full duplex
10GFC: 10.53 Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 10Gb/s optionally programmable to fixed
port speed.
16GFC: 14.025 Gb/s line speed, full duplex
32GFC: 28.05 Gb/s line speed, full duplex
64GFC: 57.8 Gb/s line speed, full duplex
Traffic load balancing Frame-based trunking with up to eight SFP+ ports per ISL trunk; up to 512Gb/s per ISL
trunk.
Exchange based load balancing across ISLs with Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) included
in Brocade Fabric OS
Aggregate bandwidth 8.192Tb/s
Maximum fabric
latency
Latency for locally switched ports is 460 ns (including FEC).
Maximum frame size 2112-byte payload
Frame buffers 2K per switching ASIC
Classes of service Class 2, Class 3, Class F (inter-switch frames)
Port types
D_Port (ClearLink® Diagnostic Port), E_Port, EX_Port, F_Port, M_Port
Optional port-type control
Data traffic types Fabric switches supporting unicast
