System specications
System component Description
Enclosure Brocade DCX 8510-4 - 8U rack-mountable chassis; mid-mount, 27-31 in. rail, mid-mount, and port-side
exhaust shelf options
Brocade DCX 8510-8 - 14U rack-mountable chassis, 27-31 in. and 22 in. rail options
Control processor Redundant (active/standby) control processor blades
Scalability Full fabric architecture: a maximum of 239 switches
Performance
• 2.125 Gbps line speed, full duplex
• 4.25 Gbps line speed, full duplex
• 8.50 Gbps line speed, full duplex
• 10.51875 Gbps line speed, full duplex
• 16 Gbps line speed, full duplex
Autosensing of 2, 4, 8, and 16 Gbps port speeds depending on SFPs used. Speed matching between 2, 4, 8,
and 16 Gbps port speeds. 10 Gbps port speeds with dedicated SFPs.
ISL Trunking Can use up to 8 ports in a trunk group to form a 128 Gbps trunk. Automatically uses up to four ICL ports in a
QSFP to form a 64 Gbps trunk. Using FC16-64 blade, two QSFPs (8 ISL ports) are used to form a 128 Gbps
trunk.
Chassis bandwidth Brocade DCX 8510-4: 4.1 Tbps per chassis (256 ports × 16 Gbps data rate + 1.024 Tbps UltraScale ICL
bandwidth)
Brocade DCX 8510-8: 8.2 Tbps per chassis (512 ports × 16 Gbps data rate + 2.048 Tbps UltraScale ICL
bandwidth)
Slot bandwidth 512 Gbps (data rate)
Local switching bandwidth 256 Gbps for Brocade FC8-32E: 32 ports × 8 Gbps (data rate)
384 Gbps for Brocade FC8-48E: 48 ports × 8 Gbps (data rate)
512 Gbps for Brocade FC16-32: 32 ports × 16 Gbps (data rate)
768 Gbps for Brocade FC16-48: 48 ports × 16 Gbps (data rate)
512 Gbps for Brocade FC8-64: 64 ports × 8 Gbps (data rate)
1 Tbps for Brocade FC16-64: 64 ports x 16 Gbps (data rate)
UltraScale ICL bandwidth Brocade DCX 8510-4: 1.024 Tbps; 16 UltraScale ICL ports provide the equivalent of 64 16-Gbps ports. Each
UltraScale ICL port provides 64 Gbps bandwidth over a QSFP (16 Gbps x 4) link.
Brocade DCX 8510-8: 2.048 Tbps; 32 UltraScale ICL ports provide the equivalent of 128 16-Gbps ports.
Each UltraScale ICL port provides 64 Gbps bandwidth over a QSFP (16 Gbps x 4) link.
Both models: Frame-based trunking is enabled between four UltraScale ICLs. DPS distributes exchanges across
all frame trunks.
Power inlet C20; power from non-port side
Power supplies Brocade DCX 8510-4: Two modular, hot-swappable 2000 W AC power supply modules (100-240 VAC
autosensing), 1+1 redundancy
