The PoE capability reduces the number of power receptacles and power adapters while increasing reliability and wiring flexibility. This high-powered solution simplifies wiring for next-generation edge devices, such as video conferencing and VoIP phones, surveillance cameras, and 802.11n wireless APs. In addition, they support the PoE+ standard (IEEE 802.3at) to provide up to Class 4 (30 watts) power to each device.

The Brocade ICX 64 can deliver both PoE power and data across network connections, providing a single-cable solution for the latest edge devices.īrocade ICX switches are compatible with industry-standard Voice over IP (VoIP) equipment as well as legacy IP phones. In addition, organizations can use hot-insertion/removal of stack members to avoid interrupting network services.įor networks with lower bandwidth requirements, the Brocade ICX 6430 offers the same rugged stacking capability (except the Brocade ICX 6430-C) at a reduced price, providing a lower density solution of up to 192 1 GbE Access Ports (APs) with 16 1 GbE uplink and stacking ports with a maximum stack height of four switches.īuilt to Power Next-Generation Edge Devices When new switches join the stack, they automatically inherit the stack’s existing configuration file, enabling true plug-and-play network expansion.įlexible licensing of 1 GbE to 10 GbE ports for uplink and stacking allows organizations to optimize network performance based on specific requirements.īrocade stacking technology also delivers high availability, enabling instantaneous hitless failover to a standby stack controller if the master stack controller fails.

This stacked switch has only a single IP address to simplify management and offers transparent forwarding across a pool of up to 384 1 GbE ports and 32 10 GbE ports. Stacking Technology for the Most Demanding Campus Network Environmentsīrocade Ethernet switch stacking technology makes it possible to stack up to eight Brocade ICX 6450 Switches into a single logical switch (except the Brocade ICX 6450-C), providing simple and robust expandability for future growth at the network edge.
