Up to Eight 10 GbE Ports on
Demand per Switch
Brocade ICX 6610 Switches offer eight
dual-mode Small Form-Factor Pluggable
(SFP)/SFP+ ports, enabling high-bandwidth
connectivity to the aggregation or core
layers. These ports can be upgraded from
1 GbE to 10 GbE by simply applying a
software license, eliminating the need to
install a hardware module. In addition,
organizations can aggregate these ports
across the stack to provide high-speed,
redundant links between the wiring closet
and the aggregation layer, or between the
aggregation and the core layer. With the
ability to use short-range and long-range
optics, along with copper Twinax cables,
the Brocade ICX 6610 supports flexible
and cost-effective network architectures
(see Figure 2).

The Brocade ICX 6610 delivers industry-
leading 8-port 10 GbE density in a 1U
switch, providing up to 80 Gbps of uplink
bandwidth to the aggregation or core layers
of the network. This bandwidth enables
a 1:1 subscription ratio throughout the
network. As a result, organizations can
deploy highly utilized networks to avoid
congestion during peak hours.

Built to Power Next-Generation
Edge Devices
The Brocade ICX 6610 can deliver
both power and data across network
connections, providing a single-cable
solution for the latest edge devices.
Brocade ICX 6610 Switches are compatible
with industry-standard VoIP equipment
as well as legacy IP phones. In addition,
they support the Power over Ethernet
(PoE+) standard (802.3at) to provide up
to 30 watts of power to each device. This
high-powered solution simplifies wiring
for next-generation edge devices, such as
video conferencing and Voice over IP (VoIP)
phones, pan/tilt surveillance cameras,
and 802.11n wireless Access Points (APs).
The PoE capability reduces the number
of power receptacles and power adapters
while increasing reliability and wiring
flexibility. With a 1500-watt power budget
per switch (with two power supplies), the
Brocade ICX 6610 24- and 48-port PoE
models can supply up to Class 4 PoE+
(30 watts) power to every port.

Plug-and-Play Operations for
Powered Devices
The Brocade ICX 6610 supports 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 UC. Configuring
IP endpoints such as VoIP phones can be a
complex task, requiring manual and time-
consuming configuration. LLDP and LLDP-
MED address this challenge by providing
a standard, open method for configuring,
discovering, and managing network
infrastructure. The LLDP protocols also
help 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.

Flexible Cooling Options
All Brocade ICX 6610 Switches support
reversible front-to-back airflow options.
This data center-friendly design improves
mounting flexibility in racks, while adhering
to the cooling guidelines of the hosting
environment. Organizations can specify
airflow direction at the time of order and
can reverse the direction after deployment
by swapping the power supplies and
fan assembly (see Figure 3).
