Power supply requirements for NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules
For power supply requirements for NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules, refer to <Link>“Hardware Specifications”.
24-port 1 Gbps Ethernet copper RJ45 interface module
The 24-port 1 Gbps Ethernet copper interface module is available in the following formats:
•
BR-MLX-1GCx24-X-ML
•
BR-MLX-1GCx24-X
This module has 32 Mb of flash memory and contains 24 RJ45 physical ports, through which you can connect your router to other
network routers. BR-MLX-1GCx24-X-ML support s up to 512K IPv4 routes in hardware and BR-MLX-1GCx24-X version supports up to
1M IPv4 routes in hardware. BR-MLX-1GCx24-X-ML does not include a software license, but can be upgraded to an X version through a
software license. Please contact Brocade to purchase the license upgrade.
NOTE
When you install BR-MLX-1GCx24-X modules, you must upgrade the software on all interface modules and management
modules to the appropriate software release. For more information on the appropriate software release refer to the Hardware
Installation Notes that shipped with the modules.
NOTE
When you are replacing older modules with 24x1G modules, you must first delete the software configuration for the older module.
If you do not delete the old configuration, a configuration mismatch will occur when you install the new module. This mismatch
will be displayed in the results of the
show config
command.
NOTE
The SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) uses the Interface Index (ifIndex) to assign a unique value to each port on a
module or slot. The number of indexes that can be assigned per module is 20, 40, or 64, depending on the number of ports on
the module. When installing 24-port copper or fiber interface modules, you must change the ifIndex allocation to 64 before you
install the module, or the module will not operate properly.
