Installing 2x100GbE CFP2 interface modules in
Brocade MLXe Series routers
This section provides installation instructions for 2x100GbE CFP2 interface modules in Brocade MLXe Series routers.
Installation considerations for 2x100GbE interface module
Before you install a 100xGbE 2-port interface, review the following installation considerations.
• The 2x100GbE module is a 1/2 height card, and occupies a 1/2 slot.
• If there is a module of another type installed, you must remove the existing module, and recongure the slot as no module.
• For maximum performance you must operate your 2x100GbE module with high speed switch fabric modules in turbo mode.
Installing 2x100GbE CFP2 interface modules
Before installing the 100GbE module in a chassis, change tm-credit-size to 1024b (which readies the device to forward 100 Gbps
trac).
• 2x100GbE modules require a minimum software version of R05.7.00. Please upgrade all software on the system to a
minimum version of R05.7.00 before you install your 100GbE module.
• 2x100GbE modules require high-speed switch fabric modules to operate.
