Router modules
CFP optics
The 100 GbE interface module is 802.3ba compliant, supports CFP-based optics, and is
backwards-compatible with existing Brocade MLX and Brocade NetIron XMR interface modules.
This interface module requires high-speed fabric modules. 100GbE interface modules will boot in
turbo mode if all modules in the chassis are Gen-2 modules.
You must insert CFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers in each port you intend to use.
CFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface for
single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or WAN
physical layer (WAN PHY).
For a list of supported 100xGbE CFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers that are available from
Brocade, refer to the latest version of the Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet, available online in the
following location:
