* * The Brocade 7500 is designed for stacked deployments A Stand-alone Solution for Enterprise and Mid-Range 16 port Fibre Channel Switch/Router 2 port Fibre Channel over IP Distance Extension 16 Front Panel 1, 2, or 4 Gbit/sec FC ports Fibre Channel Routing Services for all ports including load balancing and long distance support 16 – 4 Gbit/sec Internal Fibre Channel Router 2 Front Panel 1 Gbit/sec APs Ethernet Ports Compression Hardware Assist IPSEC Hardware Assist 8 FCIP tunnels per Port Each FCIP Tunnel is represented and managed as a Virtual FC E_Port Support for Fibre Channel Routing Services over FCIP link Fabric OS v5.1.0 or higher required to operate blade Fixed configuration Non-disruptive firmware download (except GbE IP-ports where there can be up to a 30sec outage) 1U by 24” deep Redundant Fans, Redundant Power Supplies * You can order and install a software upgrade license. After the Brocade 7500E firmware detects the presence of the upgrade license, the Brocade 7500E will enable functions equivalent to the Brocade 7500 as well as the high-performance extension license, activation of all 16 Fibre Channel ports, and full line-rate performance. The software upgrade license is a bundled package that includes: ? Hardware-based encryption ? Read and Write Tape pipelining ? Fibre Channel-based extension with Fast Write ? FICON (disk and tape) over metro distances ? Local switching ? Fibre Channel Routing between fabrics ? Call Home feature ? Full line rate speeds across IP WAN ports ? Activation of 14 additional Fibre Channel ports ? Seven additional tunnels per Gigabit Ethernet port * Fibre Channel links are driven optically or electronically. The optical and electrical links can be combined in a single system when there is a Fabric or other media-type converter available. The active part of the optical cable is constructed out of the core (the optical conduit), surrounded by cladding (to keep the light in the core), and fiber coati
