- What is the maximum frame size supported by this device?
The maximum frame size supported is a 2112-byte payload. - How are frame buffers allocated in the system?
Frame buffers are dynamically allocated, with a total of 2048 available and up to 1692 maximum per port. - What is the aggregate bandwidth capacity of the device?
The aggregate bandwidth capacity is 320 Gbps, achieved through 40 ports each operating at 8 Gbps. - Detail the maximum fabric latency for locally switched ports.
Locally switched ports have a maximum fabric latency of 700 ns with no contention, utilizing cut-through routing at 8 Gbit/sec. - How many Fibre Channel ports does the switch support, and what are the default configurations?
The switch supports Fibre Channel ports in switch mode by default, offering 24-, 32-, and 40-port configurations. - What are the physical dimensions and weight of the system?
The system measures 42.88 cm in width, 4.29 cm in height, and 61.05 cm in depth, with a weight of 9.34 kg including dual power supplies, but without SFP/SFP+ media. - What operating and non-operating temperature ranges are supported?
Operating temperatures range from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), and non-operating/storage temperatures range from -25°C to 70°C (-13°F to 158°F). - What are the humidity levels for operating and non-operating conditions?
Humidity levels for operating conditions are 10% to 85% non-condensing, and for non-operating or storage conditions, 10% to 95% non-condensing. - Can you provide details on the system's shock and vibration tolerances?
Operating shock tolerance is 20 g, 6 ms half-sine, with non-operating/storage shock tolerance at half sine, 33 g, 11 ms, 3/eg Axis. Vibration tolerance is 0.5 g sine, 0.4 grms random, 5 to 500 Hz for operating conditions, and 2.0 g sine, 1.1 grms random, 5 to 500 Hz for non-operating/storage conditions. - What are the power supply specifications, including power consumption and cooling system?
The system features dual, hot-swappable redundant power supplies with integrated cooling fans, consuming a nominal 84 watts and a maximum of 91 watts with 40 ports at 8 Gbps. Airflow is supported by dual, hot-swappable redundant fans integrated into the power supply unit, with a maximum of 29 CFM and a nominal 22 CFM.
Product Review
The Brocade BR-5100 offers a high aggregate bandwidth of 320 Gbps across 40 ports, supporting 8 Gbps data rates, which ensures efficient handling of high-volume traffic. However, it is limited by a maximum frame size of 2112-byte payload and 2048 dynamically allocated frame buffers, which may restrict performance in environments requiring higher capacity. The switch's environmental specifications, including a wide operating temperature range and robust shock and vibration resistance, make it suitable for various physical conditions, but its power consumption of up to 91 watts at full capacity could be a concern for energy-conscious deployments.
