MLXe Series routers on page 271.
24-port 1 Gbps Ethernet copper RJ-45 interface module
The 24-port 1 Gbps Ethernet copper interface module is available in the following formats:
• BR-MLX-1GCx24-X-ML
• BR-MLX-1GCx24-X
This module has 32 Mb of flash memory and contains 24 RJ-45 physical ports, through which you can connect your router to other
network routers. BR-MLX-1GCx24-X-ML support s up to 512K IPv4 routes in hardware and BR-MLX-1GCx24-X version supports up
to 1M IPv4 routes in hardware. BR-MLX-1GCx24-X-ML does not include a software license, but can be upgraded to an X version
through a software license. Please contact Brocade to purchase the license upgrade.
NOTE
When you install BR-MLX-1GCx24-X modules, you must upgrade the software on all interface modules and management
modules to the appropriate software release. For more information on the appropriate software release refer to the Hardware
Installation Notes that shipped with the modules.
NOTE
When you are replacing older modules with 24x1G modules, you must first delete the software configuration for the older
module. If you do not delete the old configuration, a configuration mismatch will occur when you install the new module. This
mismatch will be displayed in the results of the show config command.
NOTE
The SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) uses the Interface Index (ifIndex) to assign a unique value to each port on a
module or slot. The number of indexes that can be assigned per module is 20, 40, or 64, depending on the number of ports
on the module. When installing 24-port copper or fiber interface modules, you must change the ifIndex allocation to 64 before
you install the module, or the module will not operate properly.
