TABLE 20 20-port 100/1000 Ethernet module LEDs
Position State Meaning
Below each Ethernet port.
(Left-side LED supports port in top row. Right-
side LED supports port in bottom row.)
On or blinking The port is transmitting and receiving packets.
Off for an extended period The port is not transmitting or receiving packets.
100/1000 Ethernet ports
The 100/1000 Ethernet interface module contains 20 physical ports, through which you can connect your router to other network
routers at a speed of 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps.
You must insert an SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceiver (provided by Brocade) into a physical port. SFP-compliant fiber-optic
transceivers provide a physical medium-dependent (PMD) fiber interface that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or
WAN physical layer (WAN PHY).
For a list of SFP optics supported by Brocade, refer to the latest version of the Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet .
