fiber interface modules, refer to Chapter 8, “Hardware Specifications”.
20-port 100/1000 Ethernet interface module
Figure 20 shows the front panel of the 20-port 100/1000 Gbps Ethernet SFP interface module.
FIGURE 20 20-port 100/1000 Ethernet module front panel
The front panel includes the following features:
• LEDs to the left support the top ports, LEDs to the right support the bottom ports
• 20 100/1000 Ethernet SFP ports
Table 12 describes the LEDs for the 20-port 100/1000 Ethernet module
100/1000 Ethernet ports
The 100/1000 Ethernet interface module contains 20 physical ports, through which you can
connect your router to other network routers at a speed of 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps.
You must insert an SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceiver (provided by Brocade) into a physical port.
SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers provide a physical medium-dependent (PMD) fiber interface
that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or WAN physical layer (WAN PHY).
For a list of SFP optics supported by Brocade, refer to the latest version of the Brocade Optics
Family Data Sheet, available online in the following location:
