The front panel of the 2-port module includes the following features:
• Two LEDs per port (as described in Table 7)
• Two 10 Gbps Ethernet XFP optics ports
The front panel of the 4-port module includes the following features:
• Two LEDs per port (as described in Table 7)
• Four 10 Gbps Ethernet XFP optics ports
10 Gbps Ethernet interface module LEDs
Gen-1 2-port and 4-port interface modules have LEDs that indicate the status of each port, as
described in Table 7.
10 Gbps Ethernet ports
The Gen-1 2-port or 4-port Ethernet modules (BR-MLX-10Gx4-X) have either two or four physical
ports that allow you to connect your router to other network routers at a speed of 10 Gbps.
You must insert XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers in each port you intend to use.
XFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface for
single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or WAN
physical layer (WAN PHY).
For a list of XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers supported for Gen-1 2-port or 4-port modules,
refer to the latest version of the Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet, available online in the following
location:

For more information about fiber-optic transceivers and associated cabling, refer to “Installing a
fiber-optic transceiver” on page 218.
