Device
Slot 1 (10/100/1000 BASE-T

ICX 6450-C12-PD Ports 1-12
Ports PD1/C1-PD2/ C2
Ports F1-F2
10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ45
An ICX 6450-C device provides 12 RJ45 ports that reside on Slot 1 of the device. The 12 RJ45 ports
operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps full duplex. Because all ports
support automatic MDI or MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network
connections to PCs or servers, or to other devices or hubs. In addition, it is ideal (and preferred) to use
straight-through cables for switch-to-switch connections.
Each port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and the
data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these
ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of the port can be configured
manually.
Ports 1-4 are PoE+ and MACsec-capable. Ports 5-12 are non-PoE.
SFP and RJ45 uplink ports
An ICX 6450-C device provides 4 independent uplink ports that are MACsec-capable.
The 10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ45 PD1/C1 and PD2/C2 ports, residing on slot 2 of the device, can be
used as uplink ports or additional network connections. They can also be used as PD ports.
The other 2 uplink ports are 100M/1G small form factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports F1 and F2), which
reside on slot 3 of the switch. The SFP ports support 100Mbps/1GbE port speeds.
For information about supported SFP transceivers, refer to the following Brocade website:
MACsec-Capable Ports
The ICX 6450-C device provides 8 ports that are MACsec-capable, as shown in the figure below.
