•
Up to six directors are recommended in a full-mesh topology if connecting a mixture of X6 and Gen 5 directors.
•
Up to 12 directors can be connected in a core-to-edge topology.
Figure 53: ICL Cable Connections for Brocade X6 Director (Sample Configuration)
1. Chassis 1 - X6-8
2. Chassis 2 - X6-4
To connect multiple X6 Directors via ICLs, a minimum of four ICL ports (two on each core routing blade) must be
connected between each chassis. The dual connections on each core blade must reside within the same trunk group. If
more than four ICL connections are required between a pair of directors, additional ICL connections should be added in
pairs (one on each core blade). ISLs and ICLs can co-exist between the same pair of directors if the ISLs and ICLs are on
different logical switches.
The Brocade X6 Director can be connected in a core-edge configuration. The following figure shows two core and
four edge devices. Although X6-8 Directors are shown in the figure, the device can be either X6-4 or X6-8 Directors.
The cabling scheme should follow the parallel example shown in the previous figure. Each line in the example actually
represents four cables running between the devices.
