FIGURE 9 Gen-1 2-port and 4-port 10 Gbps Ethernet module front panels
The front panel of the 2-port module includes two LEDs per port and two 10 Gpbs Ethernet XFP optics ports.
The front panel of the 4-port module includes two LEDs per port and four 10 Gpbs Ethernet XFP optics ports.
The table in the following section shows the meaning of each LED state.
10 Gbps Ethernet interface module LEDs
The following table describes the port LED status for the Gen-1 2-port and 4-port interface modules.

LED Location State Meaning
Link Left of each Ethernet port On A link is established with the remote
port.
Off A link is not established with the
remote port.
Active Left of each Ethernet port On The port is transmitting and
receiving packets.
Off The port is not transmitting or
receiving packets.
10 Gbps Ethernet ports
The Gen-1 2-port or 4-port Ethernet modules (BR-MLX-10Gx4-X) have either two or four physical ports that allow you to connect your
router to other network routers at a speed of 10 Gbps.
You must insert XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers in each port you intend to use. XFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or
physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface for single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or
WAN physical layer (WAN PHY).
For a list of XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers supported for Gen-1 2-port or 4-port modules, refer to the latest version of the
Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet .
For more information about fiber-optic transceivers and associated cabling, refer to Installing a fiber-optic transceiver on page 197.
