Introduction
This appendix provides details about the application and encryption blades that are available optionally for the device. Contact your
device supplier for additional information.
FS8-18 blade
The FS8-18 encryption blade is a high performance 16-port autosensing blade with data cryptographic (encryption/decryption) and
data compression capabilities designed for enterprises to secure their data against theft or unauthorized use and to compress tape data
for maximum utilization of tape media. The encryption blade is a network-based solution that secures data-at-rest for heterogeneous
tape drives, disk array LUNs, and virtual tape libraries.
The FS8-18 blade provides the following major features:
• 16 autosensing F_Ports, FL_Ports, E_Ports, EX_Ports, and M_Ports at 8 Gbps FC ports
• 16 SFP media interfaces
• Encryption engines
• Key management/generation
• Key management with these hardware interfaces:
– Two 1000Base copper type media interfaces
– One smart card interface
• Security supervisor tamper detection and response capability
• Common Criteria (CC) EAL-3 compliant
FX8-24 blade
The FX8-24 blade has 12 external Fibre Channel (FC) SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Routing Services and 10 external 1
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or GE) SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Over IP (FCIP) feature. There are also 2 licensable external 10
Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE or 10-GE) SFP ports supporting FCIP. It operates with the Brocade Fabric Operating System and can
communicate with another FX8-24 or a Brocade 7800 for both Fibre Channel Routing Services and FCIP, or a Brocade AP7420 for
Fibre Channel Routing Services. The GbE ports on the FX8-24 are not compatible with the GbE ports on the FR4-18i blade, the
Brocade 7500 switch, and the Brocade 7840 switch.
NOTE
The port diagram on the front panel uses the abbreviations GE for 1-GbE ports and 10 GE for 10-GbE ports.
NOTE
The 10-GbE SFPs used in the FX8-24 blade and the 10-Gbps FC SFPs used in the FC16-32/48 blades are not
interchangeable.
