Plug-and-Play Operations for
Powered Devices
Brocade ICX switches support the IEEE
802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP) and ANSI TIA 1057 Link Layer
Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint
Discovery (LLDP-MED) standards
that enable organizations to deploy
interoperable multivendor solutions for
Unified Communications (UC). Configuring
IP endpoints such as VoIP phones can
be a complex task, requiring manual and
time-consuming configuration. LLDP and
LLDP-MED provide a standard, open method
for configuring, discovering, and managing
network infrastructure.

The LLDP protocols also reduce operational
costs by simplifying and automating network
operations. For example, LLDP-MED
provides an open protocol for configuring
Quality of Service (QoS), security policies,
Virtual LAN (VLAN) assignments, PoE power
levels, and service priorities.

Switch offers enterprise-class LAN switching
capabilities, performance, reliability,
security, and manageability in a small form
factor with fanless operation for deployment
outside the wiring closet. It is ideal for
deployment in classrooms, retail locations,
factories, small offices, workgroup, and
space-constrained environments. The
Brocade ICX 6430-C/6450-C is available
in a 12-port 10/100/1000 Mbps model
with IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+
support on four ports plus four additional
1 GbE uplink ports. Additionally, the
Brocade ICX 6450-C can be powered either
from its internal AC power supply or with
POE/PoE+ power, coming from one or
both of its two RJ45 uplink ports, providing
increased deployment flexibility by enabling
the switch to be deployed in areas where no
AC power outlet is present.

In the enterprise, the Brocade ICX
6430-C/6450-C Compact Switch can be
used to extend the reach of the network
outside the wiring closet, bringing
connectivity to more users and supporting
additional wireless AP deployment without
running more wires. Additionally, the
Brocade ICX 6450-C offers L3 routing
and GRE support enabling secure and
flexible deployment in remote areas. To
simplify deployment in-situ, the Brocade
ICX 6430-C/6450-C offer flexible mounting
options, such as wall brackets and a
magnetic mount kit.

• Agile: By eliminating Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP) between
HyperEdge Domain switches
through a flatter Layer 2 design,
the HyperEdge Architecture
increases link utilization and
reduces application deployment
complexity. The Distributed AP
Forwarding functionality of Brocade
wireless Access Points (APs)
efficiently secures and directs
mobile traffic at the network
edge without tunneling data back
to a central controller at
the network core.

The optional Brocade ICX 6400-EPS1500 is an external power supply source to provide
additional power to the Brocade ICX switches (except the Brocade ICX 6430-C/6450-C and
6430-24). It also can be used for system power redundancy and increased PoE/PoE+ power
budget to enable additional PoE/PoE+ ports. Each Brocade ICX 6400-EPS1500 can connect
up to three Brocade ICX 6430 and 6450 Switches.
