G620 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Device Overview
The Brocade G620 Switch offers several features and capabilities.
•
Up to 48 autosensing ports supporting high-performance 32G SFP+ port technology in a single domain.
•
Up to four 128G (4 x 32G) QSFP ports.
•
Dynamic Ports on Demand (Dynamic-POD) scaling from a base configuration of 24 ports to 64 ports (two 12-port SFP
+ PODs and one 16-port QSFP POD).
•
4, 8, 16, and 32G autosensing Fibre Channel switch; and router ports.
–
A 32G optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 8G, 16G, or 32G.
–
A 16G optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 4G, 8G, or 16G.
–
A 10G optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 10G.
NOTE
The port speed is determined by the maximum speed that is supported by the optical transceiver at the other
end of the link.
•
10G manually set capability on FC ports (requires the optional 10-Gigabit FCIP/Fibre Channel license).
–
10G performance is enabled by 10G SFP+ transceivers.
–
Ports can be configured for 10G for metro connectivity.
•
Universal ports self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, N_Ports, or D_Ports. EX_Ports can be activated on a per-port
basis with the optional Integrated Routing license.
–
A Diagnostic Port (D_Port) provides diagnostics, troubleshooting, and verification services for the physical media.
•
In-flight data compression and encryption provide efficient link utilization and security. Up to four ports can be enabled
with compression, encryption, or both.
•
Support for port-side exhaust or nonport-side exhaust airflow for cooling.
•
Brocade small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical transceivers support any combination of short wavelength
(SWL), long wavelength (LWL), or extended long wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
•
Extended distance Fibre Channel to support long-distance native FC connectivity.
•
10G Fibre Channel integration on any selected port provides DWDM metro connectivity on the same switch.
•
Port-to-port latency minimized to the following values by using cut-through frame switching at 32G.
–
G620 (Switch Type 162) = 780 ns (including FEC)
–
G620 (Switch Type 183) = 560 ns (including FEC)
•
A high-performance T1022 processor with two cores operating at 1.2 GHz delivers high performance, scalability, and
advanced Fabric Vision functionality.
•
One 1000/100/10Mb/s RJ-45 connector for the Ethernet management connection. In conjunction with EZSwitchSetup,
this port supports switch IP address discovery and configuration, eliminating the need to attach a serial cable to
configure the switch IP address.
•
One internal e-USB module provides 2 GB of persistent storage, increased serviceability, and error logging
functionality by facilitating easier firmware upgrades and downloads of the system log files.
•
One external USB connector.
•
Two hot-swappable redundant integrated power supply and fan assembly field-replaceable units.
•
48 hot-pluggable SFP+ optical transceiver slots and 4 hot-pluggable QSFP optical transceiver slots.
•
