BR-MLX-10GX4-X and BR-MLX-10Gx4-X-ML interface module LEDs
The BR-MLX-10GX4-X and BR-MLX-10Gx4-X-ML interface module LEDs indicate the status of each
port, as described in Table 8.
BR-MLX-10GX4-X and BR-MLX-10Gx4-X-ML interface module Ethernet ports
The BR-MLX-10GX4-X interface module has four physical ports that allow you to connect your router
to other network routers at a speed of 10 Gbps. BR-MLX-10Gx4-X-ML supports up to 512K IPv4
routes in hardware. BR-MLX-10Gx4-X supports up to 1M IPv4 routes. BR-MLX-10Gx4-X-ML can be
upgraded to an X version through a software license. Please contact Brocade to purchase the
license upgrade.
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 an up to date list of the 10 Gbps XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers that are available from
Brocade, refer to the latest version of the Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet, available online in the
following location:

y-ds.pdf
For more information about fiber-optic transceivers and associated cabling, refer to “Installing a
fiber-optic transceiver” on page 148.
Power supply requirements for 10Gx4 interface modules
For power supply requirements for the 10Gx4 modules, refer to Chapter 7, “Hardware
Specifications”.
8-port 10 Gbps M and D interface modules
For Brocade MLXe routers, the 8-port, 10 Gbps interface modules (NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and
NI-MLX-10Gx8-D) provide eight 10 Gbps ports that support SFP+ optics. These modules contain an
internal flash memory of 16 MB for local storage of CPU images, and 32 MB for local storage of
FPGA images. The NI-MLX-10Gx8-M interface module supports a buffer of 3 GB buffering per
module. The NI-MLX-10Gx8-D module supports 1 GB buffering per module.
