Blade terminology and compatibility
Definition
(slotshow)
18 A 32-port Brocade platform port blade supporting 1, 2,
and 4 Gbps port speeds. This port blade is compatible
only with the Brocade 48000 CP blades.
55 A 32-port Brocade platform port blade supporting 1, 2,
4, and 8 Gbps port speeds.
36 A 48-port Brocade platform port blade supporting 1, 2,
and 4 Gbps port speeds in chassis mode 5 with port and
exchange-based routing. This port blade is compatible
only with the Brocade 48000 CP blades. FC4-48 blades
do not support FL_Ports.
51 A 48-port Brocade platform port blade supporting 1, 2,
4, and 8 Gbps port speeds. The Brocade DCX and
DCX-4S support loop devices on 48-port blades in a
Virtual Fabric-enabled environment.
77 A 64-port Brocade platform port blade supporting 2, 4,
and 8 Gbps port speeds. The Brocade DCX and DCX-4S
support loop devices on 64-port blades in a Virtual
Fabric-enabled environment. The loop devices can only
be attached to ports on a 64-port blade that is not a part
of the default logical switch.
39 A 6-port Brocade platform port blade supporting 10
Gbps port speed. Blade provides 10-Gbps ISLs. This port
blade is compatible only with the Brocade 48000 CP
blades (using chassis configuration option 5) and the
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S CP blades.
24 A 16-port Fibre Channel routing and FCIP blade that also
has 2 GbE ports and is compatible only with the Brocade
48000 (using chassis configuration option 5) and the
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S CP blades.
31 An iSCSI bridge blade that enables bridging of iSCSI
hosts to Fibre Channel fabrics. It has 8 Fibre Channel
optical SFP ports and 8 GbE copper RJ-45 ports. This
blade is currently compatible with the Brocade 48000
CP blades (using chassis configuration option 5).
33 An application blade that has 16 (1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps)
ports supporting Fibre Channel Application Services and
two 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet copper interfaces
supporting blade management.
68 An application blade that provides high performance
32-port auto-sensing 8 Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity
with data cryptographic (encryption/decryption) and
data compression capabilities.
74 An application blade that provides Converged Enhanced
Ethernet to bridge a Fibre Channel and Ethernet SAN.
75 A 24-port Fibre Channel routing and FCIP blade that also
has 10 1-GbE and two 10-GbE ports and is compatible
only with the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S CP blades.
