High-speed switch fabric modules
NOTE
Gen-1 switch fabric modules and Gen-2 high-speed fabric (HSF) modules are not compatible and will
not operate together in the same device.
HSF modules are supported on Brocade MLXe Series routers, and are interoperable with all
existing interface modules.
HSF modules are hot-swappable, which means you can install or replace them while the system is
powered up and running.
NOTE
Do not remove or power-off all switch fabric modules on MLXe chassis while the device is up and
running. Removing all the switch fabric modules from the device and then re-inserting them can
cause the device to become unstable, resulting in protocol flaps and thereby traffic impact. A system
reload is required to recover.
HSF modules can operate in normal mode or turbo mode but will boot in turbo mode only if all
active interface modules are Gen-2 and Gen-3modules.
