Gen-2 8-port 10 Gbps interface modules
For Brocade MLXe and Brocade MLX routers, the 8-port, 10 Gbps interface modules
(NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D) provide eight 10 Gbps ports that support SFP+ optics.
These modules contain an internal flash memory of 16 MB for local storage of CPU images, and 32
MB for local storage of FPGA images. The NI-MLX-10Gx8-M interface module supports a buffer of 3
GB buffering per module. The NI-MLX-10Gx8-D module supports 1 GB buffering per module.
NOTE
NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules are designed for use with Brocade MLXe and
Brocade MLX routers only. They are not supported for Brocade NetIron XMR routers.
NOTE
When installing NI-MLX-10Gx8-M or NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules, you must first upgrade the software
on all interface modules and management modules to Multi-Service IronWare software R05.0.00 or
later. For more information, refer to the Hardware Installation Notes that shipped with the modules.
NOTE
NI-MLX-10Gx8-D interface modules do not support MPLS.
NOTE
NI-MLX-10Gx8-M or NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules require high-speed switch fabric modules to operate.
You can replace switch fabric modules with high-speed switch fabric modules while the system is
powered on and running. For more information about high-speed switch fabric modules, see
“High-speed switch fabric modules”
on page 50.
For Brocade MLX 16-slot routers, NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules require the
installation of high-speed fans in addition to high-speed switch fabric modules. For information
about the high-speed fans, see
“NIBI-16-FAN-EXH-A high-speed fan assemblies”
on page 61.
Figure 19
displays the faceplate of the NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules.
Figure 20
shows the RX and TX orientation for the ports, and identifies which LED goes with which port.
