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 an up to date list of the 10 Gbps XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers that are available from Brocade, 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.
Power supply requirements for 10Gx4 interface modules
For power supply requirements for the 10Gx4 modules, refer to Hardware specifications for Brocade MLXe Series routers on page 271.
8-port 10 Gbps M and D interface modules
For Brocade MLXe Series 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
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, refer to
High-speed switch fabric modules on page 78.
