  • Page 5: Overview

    Overview The Brocade ICX 7450, Brocade ICX 7250, and Brocade ICX 7750 are high density 1RU switches that can run switch or router code to provide full L2 and L3 functionality. They come in five different hardware SKUs .

  • Page 6: Chapter 1: Icx7450

    Chapter 1: ICX7450 Technical Architecture The Brocade ICX 7450 has five different models based on Port Density, PoE capability and Port type; in addition each of the SKU supports four different flex modules. The SKU types are as follows: 1. ICX7450-24 2.
  • Page 7 (60 W) and HDBase-T alliance's PoH (up to 95W) support is provided in the first eight ports. It has full wide hot-plug module slot in the front and two full wide hot-plug module slots in the back.

  • Page 8 Release 08.0.30, the Brocade ICX 7450 supports stacking on 4x10G modules as well. NOTE The ICX 7450 can support 4X10 GF stacking from slot 2 or 1x40GQ stacking from rear ports; however, it cannot support both in the same stack.
  • Page 9 When stacking is not enabled, ports x/2/1 and x/2/3 can be used as data/uplink ports. FIGURE 7 ICX 7450 Showing 4x10G Stacking Ports Stack can be formed using up to 12 units of any ICX 7450 model type as a liner topology or a ring topology.

  • Page 10: Supported Topologies

    The Brocade ICX 7450 can operate as a standalone device as well as a stackable device. When used as a stack, ICX 7450 supports linear and ring stack topologies. All different SKUs of ICX 7450 can be mixed in the same stack. The stack can be formed with two units and up to twelve units. Following are examples of some of the ICX 7450 stacks connected in linear and ring topologies using 1x40G stacking ports.
