Interface modules
Interface modules for Brocade MLX and NetIron XMR routers are available in two types:
• Gen-1 interface modules
• Gen-2 interface modules, which provide additional functionality, more memory, and higher
operation speeds.
Table 3 lists the interface modules that are available for Brocade MLX Series and NetIron XMR
routers.
