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). ICLs and ISLs are not
concurrently supported between a single pair of X6 Directors.
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.
