Router modules

Depending on your router model, you can install up to 32 single-slot interface modules, or 16
double-slot interface modules.
Interface modules are hot-swappable, which means you can remove and replace them without
powering down the system.
For the latest and most up to date information on modules supported on MLXe chassis, log in to
www.mybrocade.com and access the TECH NOTE: BROCADE MLX SERIES MODULE SUPPORT
document.
Specific information regarding RAD optics configuration on the Brocade MLXe Series platforms has
been documented in the RAD optics Solutions test report. Please work with your account team to

2x100GbE 2-port interface module
The 2x100GbE 2-port interface module is supported on all Brocade MLXe Series routers. This
interface module has two 100 Gbps CFP optics ports, 2 Gbps memory, an internal flash of 32MB
for local storage of CPU images, and 64MB for local storage of FPGA images. The 2x100GbE 2-port
interface module supports 1.5 GB buffering per port.
The 2x100GbE interface module occupies two interface module slots in any chassis, with one slot
active and one slot inactive. In all devices, the lower number of the two occupied slots becomes the
active slot.
Before you install a 2x100GbE module, you will need to remove the center slot guide that divides
the slot into two partitions. Do not discard this guide, as you will need it if you ever want to convert
the slot into two slots. For information about how to remove the center guide and install high-speed
fabric modules, refer to the 2x100GbE module installation instructions in the appropriate
installation chapter for your router model.
