High density and Full class 3  
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) 
When configured with PoE, the FastIron GS 
switches support IEEE 802.3af standards-
based PoE on all ports. The capability of 
FastIron GS switches to deliver high-density, 
full-power PoE on all ports reduces the need 
to purchase additional hardware to support 
the higher power requirements. 
For the 24-port PoE models, the system 
can support full 1+1 redundancy for 24 
Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 PoE ports. 
When configured with dual power supplies, 
the 48-port PoE models support up to 48 
10/100/1000 Class 3 (15.4 watts) PoE 
ports, which is one of the highest Class 3 
PoE port density for a compact switch in the 
industry. These capacities are a significant 
advantage for environments that require 
full Class 3 power for devices such as 
surveillance cameras, color LCD phones, 
point-of-service terminals, and other 
powered endpoints.
An IronStack configuration of eight FastIron 
GS switches can support as many as 384 
PoE ports supporting full Class 3 PoE 
power without the need for external power 
supplies. Other solutions may require 
external power supplies adding installation 
and operational complexity.
Ease of Use: Plug and Play 
The FastIron GS Series supports the IEEE 
802.1AB LLDP and ANSI TIA 1057 LLDP-MED 
standards that enable organizations to deploy 
interoperable multi-vendor solutions for unified 
communications. Configuring IP endpoints, 
such as VoIP stations can be a complex 
task requiring manual and time-consuming 
configuration. LLDP and LLDP-MED address 
these challenges, providing organizations with 
a standard and open method for configuring, 
discovering, and managing their network 
infrastructure. The LLDP protocols help 
reduce operations costs by simplifying and 
automating network operations. For example, 
LLDP-MED provides an open protocol for 
configuring QoS, security policies, VLAN 
assignments, PoE power levels, and service 
priorities. Additionally, LLDP-MED provides 
for the discovery of device location and asset 
identity, information that is used for inventory 
management and by emergency response 
services, such as Enhanced 911 (E911). 
These sophisticated features make converged 
network services easier to deploy and operate 
while enabling new and critical services.
The FastIron GS Series supports DHCP 
client-based auto-configuration, simplifying 
customer deployment and configuration 
via true Plug-and-Play. Enterprises can use 
this feature to automate the IP address and 
feature configuration of FastIron GS switches 
without the presence of a highly-trained 
network engineer on-site. Technicians can 
simply power up a new FastIron GS and the 
unit will automatically get its IP address and 
configuration from DHCP and TFTP servers. 
Auto-configuration provides an intelligent 
solution to reduce OPEX while simplifying 
network management.

Enterprise-class Security
FastIron GS switches are powered by the 
Brocade IronWare
 operating software, 
which offers an advanced security suite 
for Layer 2 and Layer 3, network access 
control (NAC), and DoS protection. IronWare 
security features include protection against 
TCP SYN and ICMP DoS attacks, Spanning 
Tree Root Guard and BPDU Guard to protect 
network spanning tree operation, and 
broadcast and multicast packet rate limiting. 
In non-stacking configurations, the FastIron 
GS series offers additional security features 
including dynamic ARP inspection and DHCP 
snooping to protect against address spoofing 
and man-in-the middle attacks.*
Network access control
Network managers can rely on features 
such as multi-device port authentication 
and 802.1X authentication with dynamic 
policy assignment to control network access 
and perform targeted authorization on a 
per-user level. Additionally, the FastIron GS 
supports enhanced MAC policies with the 
ability to deny traffic to and from a MAC 
address on a per-VLAN basis. This powerful 
tool allows network administrators to control 
access policies per endpoint device.
Standards-based NAC enables network 
operators to deploy best-of-breed NAC 
solutions for authenticating network users 
and validating the security posture of a 
connecting device. Support for policy-
controlled MAC-based VLANs provides 
additional control of network access, 
allowing for policy-controlled assignments 
of devices to Layer 2 VLANs.
