Built-in switch fabric module
The switch fabric module switches user packets from one interface module installed in the chassis
to another. On the FSX, the switch fabric module is built into the management module.
Console port
The Console port on the management module is a standard DB-9 serial connector through which
you can attach a PC or terminal to configure the system using the command line interface (CLI).
The Console port interfaces the control plane only and not the data plane.
Reset button
The reset button on the management module allows you to restart the system. The reset button is
recessed to prevent it from being pushed accidentally.
The reset button is located next to the console port on the management module.
FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules
The management modules for the
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
are interchangeable between devices.
Standard management modules provide Layer 2 and base Layer 3 functionality only. Premium
management modules support full Layer 3 functionality.
NOTE
The
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
management modules are dedicated, which means that you must
install them in the
FSX 800
or
FSX 1600
chassis only. If you attempt to install these management
modules in the FSX or other Brocade chassis, the chassis and modules will not function properly.
NOTE
You cannot intermix different management modules in the same
FSX 800
or
FSX 1600
chassis. The
management modules must be of like-kind.
NOTE
You cannot intermix IPv6 and IPv4 modules in the same
FSX 800
or
FSX 1600
chassis.
