Interface modules
Interface modules for Brocade MLX, Brocade MLXe, and Brocade 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 Brocade NetIron
XMR routers.
