Brocade FWS648 Scheda Tecnica
The FastIron WS Series is a powerful
solution for the delivery of high-
performance, delay-sensitive applications.
The product features advanced QoS
capabilities, including low-latency switching,
eight priority queues, ingress and egress
rate limiting, WRR, Strict Priority (SP), and a
mix of SP and WRR scheduling methods.

Ease of Use: Plug and Play
The FastIron WS Series supports the
IEEE 802.1AB LLDP and ANSI TIA
1057 LLDP-MED standards, enabling
organizations to build open convergence,
advanced multivendor networks. LLDP
greatly simplifies and enhances network
management, asset management, and
network troubleshooting. For example, it
enables discovery of accurate physical
network topologies, including those with
multiple VLANs where all subnets may
not be known.

LLDP-MED addresses the unique needs
that voice and video demand in a converged
network by advertising media and IP
telephony-specific messages that can be
exchanged between the network and the
endpoint devices. LLDP-MED provides
exceptional interoperability, IP telephony
troubleshooting, and automatic deployment
of policies, inventory management, and
E911 location/emergency call service
support. These sophisticated features make
converged network services easier to install,
manage, and upgrade while significantly
reducing operations costs.

Simplified Deployment with
Auto-Configuration
The FastIron WS Series supports DHCP
client-based auto-configuration, simplifying
deployment and configuration, and

deployment and configuration, and
providing true plug-and-play capabilities.
Organizations can automate the IP address
and feature configuration of FastIron WS
Series switches without the presence of a
highly trained, onsite network engineer.
Organizations can automate the IP address
and feature configuration of FastIron WS
Series switches without the presence of a
highly trained, onsite network engineer.
When the FastIron WS Series switches
power up, they automatically receive an
IP address from DHCP and configuration
information from an already configured
Trivial File Transport Protocol (TFTP)
server. At this time, the switches can
also automatically receive a software
update to be at the same code revision
as already installed switches. Auto-
configuration and built-in intelligence
reduces operating expenditures while
simplifying network management.

Redundant Power Supply Option
All FastIron WS Series switches offer an
external redundant power supply option.
The Brocade External Redundant Power
Supply operates as a backup to the internal
power supply for a device. If an internal
power supply fails, the redundant power
supply will power the device without
affecting network operations.

Advanced Multicast Features
The FastIron WS Series supports a rich set
of Layer 2 multicast features that enable
advanced multicast services delivery.
Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) snooping for IGMP version 1, 2, and
3 is supported. Source-based multicast—a
key requirement for IGMP v3 snooping—is
a Layer 2 service feature. This provides
improved bandwidth utilization and more
secure multicast services delivery.

Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3
Protocols for Building Resilient
Networks
Software features, including Virtual Switch
Redundancy Protocol, MRP, Rapid Spanning
Tree Protocol (RSTP), Multiple Spanning
Tree Protocol (MSTP), and 802.3ad Link
Aggregation, provide alternate paths for
traffic in the event of a link failure. Sub-
second fault detection utilizing Link Fault
Signaling, protected link groups, and
UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) help
ensure rapid fault detection and recovery.

Enhanced Spanning Tree features such
as Root Guard and BPDU Guard prevent
rogue hijacking of Spanning Tree roots
and maintain a contention- and loop-free
environment, especially during dynamic
network deployments. As a result, FastIron
WS Series software and hardware features
provide a robust and resilient infrastructure
solution in a cost-effective and compact
form.

Edge PREM Layer 3 functionality enhances
the capability of the FastIron WS Series
as an edge router platform. The powerful
Layer 3 features enable dynamic routing via
OSFPv1/v2, RIPv1/v2, IPv4 static routes,
virtual network interfaces, routing between
directly connected subnets, VRRP, DHCP
Relay, routed interfaces, and host routes.
