- Frame-level hardware-based trunking (even distribution of frames across trunk links)
• A reduced-depth, rack-mount design using existing rail kits (fixed, mid-mount, or Telco rack
mount kits
• Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high Reliability,
Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
• Optimized airflow (a choice of front-to-back or back-to-front flow)
• A real-time clock (RTC) with battery
• SEEPROM for switch identification
• Voltage monitoring
• Fan monitoring
• Three temperature sensors
• I 2 C interface to monitor and control environmental aspects
NOTE
Port numbering for the Brocade VDX 6730 begins with 1, not 0. Both the GbE and FC port sequences
begin with 1.
