G630 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Device Overview
Hardware Features
The Brocade G630 Switch offers the following features and capabilities:
•
Up to 96 autosensing ports supporting high-performance 32G small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceiver port
technology in a single domain with non-volatile memory express (NVMe) support from the host to the switch port on
ingress and from the switch port to the target on egress.
•
Up to eight autosensing 128G (4 x 32G) quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) ports to connect to the QSFP ports
of other devices or to F_Ports.
•
Dynamic Ports on Demand (Dynamic-POD) scaling from a base configuration of 48 ports to 128 ports (two 24-port
SFP+ PODs and one 32-port QSFP POD).
•
4, 8, 16, and 32G autosensing Fibre Channel switch and router ports.
–
A 32G optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 8G, 16G, or 32G.
–
A 16G optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 4G, 8G, or 16G.
–
A 10G FC optical transceiver can support a speed of 10G.
NOTE
The port speed is determined by the maximum negotiated speed between the installed transceiver and the
optical transceiver at the other end of the link.
•
Universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, D_Ports, or EX_Ports and can be activated on a per-port basis
with the optional Integrated Routing (IR) license. The Diagnostic D_Port mode provides diagnostics, troubleshooting,
and verification services for the physical media.
•
Up to 384G of combined in-flight data encryption/decryption and 192G of combined in-flight compression/
decompression capabilities per switch.
•
Support for nonport-side intake or nonport-side exhaust airflow for cooling.
•
Hardware-enabled input and output (I/O) latency statistics collection.
•
Hardware-enabled VM support.
•
Brocade small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical transceivers that support any combination of short wavelength
(SWL), long wavelength (LWL), or extended long wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
•
Extended distance Fibre Channel to support long-distance native FC connectivity.
•
Port-to-port latency minimized to the following value by using cut-through frame switching at 32G.
