Connecting network devices

Brocade devices support connections to other vendors' routers, switches, and hubs, as well other
Brocade devices.

Cable specifications

Refer to

Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Hubs

For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100BaseTX or 1000BaseT switch, or another
Brocade device, a crossover cable is required
an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the
connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a
straight-through cable may work as well. For more information about this feature, refer to the
FastIron Configuration Guide.
