Product Review

The Brocade BR-MLX-10GX4-X-ML module offers significant capacity for high-speed networking with its 4-port 10 GbE interface and support for up to 1 million IPv4 routes with an upgrade, catering to environments demanding extensive routing information and high throughput. However, the requirement for XFP optics for each port may lead to additional costs and complexity in sourcing and managing the necessary components. Additionally, its maximum power consumption of 240W might be a consideration for environments striving for energy efficiency or those with limited power availability.

Overview

The Brocade BR-MLX-10GX4-X-ML is a high-performance networking module designed to meet the demands of modern data centers and enterprise networks. This 4-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) module provides advanced networking capabilities, including IPv4/IPv6/MPLS hardware support, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications. It is engineered to fit into a 19-inch rack mount, ensuring compatibility with standard racks that adhere to ANSI/EIA-310-D and ETS 300 119 specifications. One of the key features of this module is its support for 512,000 IPv4 routes in the Forwarding Information Base (FIB), with the option to upgrade the license to "X" scalability. This upgrade allows the module to handle up to 1 million IPv4 routes in hardware, significantly enhancing its routing capabilities and making it well-suited for environments with extensive networking demands. The module requires XFP optics, which are not included, allowing for flexibility in network design and the ability to tailor the system to specific requirements. With a maximum power consumption of 240W, it balances performance with energy efficiency. Connectivity and communication are facilitated through a baud rate of 9600, with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, ensuring reliable and straightforward communication settings for network management. Operating conditions are designed to be resilient within a range of environments: - Operating temperature ranges from 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F), accommodating various data center conditions. - Storage temperature is supported from –25°C (–13°F) to 70°C (158°F), ensuring the module's integrity during non-operational periods. - The module can operate within a relative humidity range of 5% (non-condensing) at 40°C (104°F) to 90% (non-condensing) at the same temperature, highlighting its durability in varying humidity levels. - For storage, humidity can range from 0% to 95% maximum relative humidity, non-condensing, providing flexibility in storage conditions. The module's operational efficiency is further demonstrated by its ability to function at altitudes from 0 feet (0 meters) to 6,600 feet (2,012 meters), with storage altitudes extending up to 15,000 feet (4,500 meters). This altitude range ensures reliability across different geographic locations and data center settings. Key Specifications:
  • Supports 512,000 IPv4 routes in FIB, upgradable to 1 million IPv4 routes.
  • Requires XFP optics for connectivity.
  • Designed for 19-inch rack mounts compliant with ANSI/EIA-310-D and ETS 300 119.
In summary, the Brocade BR-MLX-10GX4-X-ML module offers a combination of high performance, scalability, and adaptability to a variety of networking environments. Its support for a significant number of IPv4 routes, flexible optic requirements, and compliance with standard rack measurements make it an ideal choice for organizations looking to enhance their network infrastructure.
