The Brocade ICX 6610 provides ToR 1 GbE and 10 GbE server connectivity 
with the Brocade ICX 6650 providing data center aggregation.
configuration from DHCP and Trivial File 
Transport Protocol (TFTP) servers. At  
this time, the switches can also 
automatically receive a software update  
to be at the same code revision as currently 
installed switches.
Open-Standards Management 
The Brocade ICX 6610 includes an industry-
standard Command Line Interface (CLI) 
and supports Secure Shell (SSHv2), Secure 
Copy (SCP), and SNMPv3 to restrict and 
encrypt management communications 
to the system. In addition, support for 
Terminal Access Controller Access Control 
System (TACACS/TACACS+) and RADIUS 
authentication helps ensure secure 
operator access.
Out-of-Band Management 
The Brocade ICX 6610 includes  
a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45  
Ethernet port dedicated to out- 
of-band management, providing  
a remote path to manage the  
switches, regardless of the status  
or configuration of the data ports.
Data Center ToR Switch for 1 GbE  
and 10 GbE Server Connectivity 
Thanks to its class-leading 10 GbE port 
count, the Brocade ICX 6610 is an ideal 
solution as a Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch in a 
mixed 1 GbE/10 GbE server connectivity 
environment. It is designed to fit in server 
racks, consuming only one rack unit and 
offering dual integrated power supplies 
and fan assemblies with reversible front-to-
back/back-to-front airflow for flexible cooling 
options. In data center environments where 
most servers have 1 GbE and some 10 GbE 
network interfaces, the Brocade ICX 6610 
provides a compact and cost-effective  
1 GbE/10 GbE ToR switch (see Figure 5).  
This configuration uses 10 GbE links 
to connect to Brocade ICX data center 
aggregation switches.
UNIFIED WIRED/WIRELESS 
NETWORK MANAGEMENT WITH 
BROCADE NETWORK ADVISOR 
Managing enterprise campus networks 
continues to become more complex due 
to the growth in services that rely on wired 
and wireless networks. Services such as 
Internet, e-mail, video conferencing,  
real-time collaboration, and distance 
learning all have specific configuration  
and management requirements. At the 
same time, organizations face increasing 
demand to provide uninterrupted 
services for high-quality voice and Unified 
Communications (UC), wireless mobility,  
and multimedia applications.
To reduce complexity and the time spent 
managing these environments, the easy-
to-use Brocade Network Advisor discovers, 
manages, and deploys configurations to 
groups of IP devices. By using the Brocade 
Network Advisor Device Configuration 
Manager tool, organizations can configure 
Virtual LANs (VLANs) within the network, 
manage wireless access point realms, 
or execute CLI commands on specific IP 
devices or groups of IP devices. sFlow-based 
proactive monitoring is ideal for performing 
network-wide troubleshooting, generating 
traffic reports, and gaining visibility into 
network activity from the edge to the 
core. Brocade Network Advisor centralizes 
management of the entire family of Brocade 
wired and wireless products, including the 
Brocade ICX switches.
