Connecting network devices
Brocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Brocade devices.
Connectors
For port pinouts, refer to
Brocade ICX 7250 Switch Technical Specifications
Cable specifications
For information about supported transceivers and cable lengths and types, refer to the Brocade optics family datasheet.
Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Brocade device, a crossover cable is
required as shown in the following figure. If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it requires a straight-through cable instead of a
crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two
1000Base-T ports. In this case, a straight-through cable may work just as well as a crossover cable. For more information, refer
to the
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide
