• Integrated with industry leading key management systems, including Lifetime Key
Management (LKM) and RSA Key Manager (RKM).
• Full 1:1 subscription on all 32 ports at 8 Gbps.
• HA cluster, Data Encryption Key (DEK) cluster, and Encryption Group (EG) to enable
transparent failover, host MPIO failover, and centralized management of multiple encryption
switches.
• Support for automatic expiry or CLI manual based re-keying.
• Compliance with encryption standards: AES256-XTS 1619.1 (for disk); AES256-GCM IEEE
1619.2 (for tape).
• Smart Card
• Hardware-based key management and generation
• Integrated Routing Fabric Service (optional) to enable encryption capabilities across multiple
fabrics
• NPIV support
• Two hot-swappable, redundant power supply field-replaceable units (FRUs)
• Three hot-swappable fan FRUs in the N+1 configuration to provide hardware-redundant cooling
• One RJ45 1000/100/10 Ethernet management port
• Two RJ45 GE ports for clustering interconnection and re-key, and DEK synchronization within
cluster
• One RJ45 serial console port
• A USB port that facilitates firmware upgrades, serviceability, and system-log functionality.
• A switch subsytem and encryption subsystem which feature a CPU running at 1.3 GHz with
integrated peripherals that provide high performance with low power consumption
• Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), allowing up to eight ports (at 1.0625 Gbps, 2.125
Gbps, 4.25 Gbps, or 8.5 Gbps data rate) between a pair of switches to be combined to form a
single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 64 Gbps (full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization
and load balancing.
• Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), optimizing fabric-wide performance and load balancing by
automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.
• Rack mountable and compatible with Brocade fixed or sliding rail kits on a 19 in. EIA rack and
Brocade mid-mount rail kit on a telecommunications (Telco) rack.
• Brocade Small Form-Factor Plugable (SFP) or SFP+ optical transceivers, providing support for a
combination of Short Wavelength (SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), or Extended Long
Wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
NOTE
The full range of 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps can only be achieved by a combination of 4 Gbps SFPs (1, 2,
and 4 Gbps) and 8 Gbps SFP+ (2, 4, and 8 Gbps).
• Brocade Fabric Operating System (Fabric OS) support, delivering distributed intelligence
throughout the network and enabling a wide range of applications including Brocade Web
Tools and Brocade Zoning. Optional fabric services include: Adaptive Networking with QoS,
Brocade Extended Fabrics, Brocade Enhanced Group Management, Brocade Fabric Watch, ISL
Trunking, Integrated Routing, and End-to-End Performance Monitoring (APM).
• Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities to enhance high Reliability,
Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
