BR-MLX-10GX4-X and BR-MLX-10Gx4-X-ML interface module Ethernet ports
The BR-MLX-10GX4-X interface module has four physical ports that allow you to connect your router
to other network routers at a speed of 10 Gbps. BR-MLX-10Gx4-X-ML supports up to 512K IPv4
routes in hardware. BR-MLX-10Gx4-X supports up to 1M IPv4 routes. BR-MLX-10Gx4-X-ML can be
upgraded to an X version through a software license. Please contact Brocade to purchase the
license upgrade.
You must insert XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers in each port you intend to use.
XFP-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).
