1

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)
