Brocade 7850 Extension Switch Hardware Features
The Brocade 7850 Extension Switch provides the following hardware features:
•
Rack-mountable 1U chassis
•
Eight SFP-DD ports and eight SFP+ ports
–
The switch offers 16 physical Fibre Channel ports, 8 of which are SFP-DD-capable ports, and 8 of which are SFP+
ports. Together, these 16 physical ports provide a total of 24 Fibre Channel ports with link speeds of 8, 16, 32, and
64Gb/s.
–
8G requires a 32G optical transceiver
•
16 1/10/25GbE ports, compatible with short reach (SR) and long reach (LR) SFP/SFP+ transceivers
–
1G speed is not supported for LR. The only optic that supports 1G speed is the 10GbE SR optic.
–
The 25GbE LR optic supports both 25G and 10G speeds.
–
40GbE is supported through 4x 10GbE breakout using the SFP Ethernet ports. We do not support 40GbE interfaces
on the Brocade 7850 Extension Switch; however, we do support connecting to 40GbE ports on core routers or WAN
routers. The 40GbE port is connected at the core router or WAN router end, with breakout to 4x 10GbE interfaces
on the Brocade 7850 Extension Switch.
•
Two 100GbE ports, compatible with short reach (SR) QSFP transceivers
NOTE
The SFPs and QSFPs are hot-swappable.
•
One RJ-45 Ethernet management port with 1000-Mb/s autonegotiating capability
•
One USB port that provides storage for firmware updates, output of the supportSave command, and storage for
configuration uploads and downloads
•
Two redundant, hot-swappable 650W AC/DC power supply units (PSUs)
•
Six nonport-side intake fan FRUs
DANGER
Batteries that are used for RTC/NVRAM backup are not in operator-access areas. There is a risk of
explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used components containing batteries
according to the local ordinance and regulations.
