100xGbE 2-port interface module
The 100xGbE 2-port interface module is supported on all Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron
XMR routers. This interface module has two 100 Gbps CFP optics ports, 2 Gbps memory, an
internal flash of 32MB for local storage of CPU images, and 64MB for local storage of FPGA
images. The 100xGbE 2-port interface module supports 1.5 MB buffering per port.
NOTE
Only Brocade MLXe devices support both ports on the 100xGbE module. Brocade MLX and Brocade
NetIron XMR models support one port only.
The 100xGbE interface module occupies two interface module slots in any chassis, with one slot
active and one slot inactive. In all devices, the lower number of the two occupied slots becomes the
active slot.
NOTE
Because of the possibility of overheating, 2x100GbE interface modules should not be installed in
the top slot of a Brocade MLX 4-slot chassis.
