Systems Architecture

Chassis Single chassis: Up to 384 (Brocade DCX 8510-8) or

192 (Brocade DCX 8510-4) 16 Gbps (E, F, D, M, and

EX) Fibre Channel ports using 48-port 16 Gbps Fibre

Channel blades. Up to 512 (Brocade DCX 8510-8) or

256 (Brocade DCX 8510-4) 8 Gbps (E, F, D, M, and

EX) Fibre Channel ports using 64-port 8 Gbps Fibre

Channel blades.

Multi-chassis with UltraScale ICL ports: Up to 3840

16 Gbps Fibre Channel ports (using 16 Gbps 48-port

blades); up to 5120 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports

(using 8 Gbps 64-port blades); UtraScale ICL ports

(32 or 16 per chassis, optical QSFP) connect up to

nine chassis in a full mesh topology or up to 10

chassis in a core-edge topology. Each Brocade DCX

8510 chassis that connects to four or more Brocade

DCX 8510 chassis via UltraScale ICLs requires an

Enterprise ICL license.

Control processor Redundant (active/standby) control processor modules

Scalability Full fabric architecture of 239 switches

Certied maximum 6000 active nodes; 56 switches, 19 hops in Brocade

Fabric OS

fabrics; 31 switches, larger fabrics certied

as required

Special-purpose

blades

Brocade FS8-18 Encryption Blade provides plug-in

encryption of data on disk or tape, supporting

industry-standard AES-256 and DataFort-compatible

encryption mode (16 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports; up

to four blades; requires Brocade Network Advisor).

Brocade FX8-24 Extension Blade provides SAN

extension over IP networks (12 8 Gbps Fibre Channel

ports, 10 1 GbE ports with license option for up to two

10 GbE ports per blade; up to four blades).

Performance Fibre Channel: 2.125 Gbps line speed, full duplex;

4.25 Gbps line speed, full duplex; 8.5 Gbps line

speed, full duplex; 10.53 Gbps line speed, full duplex;

14.025 Gbps line speed, full duplex; auto-sensing of

2, 4, 8, and 16 Gbps port speeds; 10 Gbps and

optionally programmable to xed port speed

ISL trunking Frame-based trunking with up to eight 16 Gbps ports

per ISL trunk; up to 128 Gbps per ISL trunk

Exchange-based load balancing across ISLs with DPS

included in Brocade Fabric OS

BROCADE DCX 8510 BACKBONE SPECIFICATIONS

Chassis bandwidth Brocade DCX 8510-8: 8.2 Tbps per chassis

(384 ports × 16 Gbps data rate + 2.048 Tbps

UltraScale ICL bandwidth)

Brocade DCX 8510-4: 4.1 Tbps per chassis

(192 ports × 16 Gbps data rate + 1.024 Tbps

UltraScale ICL bandwidth)

Slot bandwidth 512 Gbps (data rate)

Local switching

bandwidth

512 Gbps for Brocade FC16-32:

32 ports × 16 Gbps (data rate)

768 Gbps for Brocade FC16-48:

48 ports × 16 Gbps (data rate)

256 Gbps for Brocade FC8-32E:

32 ports × 8 Gbps (data rate)

384 Gbps for Brocade FC8-48E:

48 ports × 8 Gbps (data rate)

512 Gbps for Brocade FC8-64:

64 ports × 8 Gbps (data rate)

UltraScale ICL

bandwidth

Brocade DCX 8510-8: 2.048 Tbps; 32 UltraScale ICL

ports provide the equivalent of 128 16 Gbps ports.

Each UltraScale ICL port provides 64 Gbps bandwidth

over a QSFP (4×16 Gbps) link.

Brocade DCX 8510-4: 1.024 Tbps; 16 UltraScale ICLs

provide the equivalent of 64 16 Gbps ports. Each

UltraScale ICL port provides 64 Gbps bandwidth over

a QSFP (4×16 Gbps) link.

Both models: Frame-based trunking is enabled

between four UltraScale ICLs. DPS distributes

exchanges across all frame trunks.

Switch latency Locally switched port latency is 700 ns; blade-to-blade

latency is 2.1 µsec; encryption/compression is

5.5 µsec per node; Forward Error Correction (FEC)

adds 400 ns between E_Ports (enabled by default).

Maximum frame size 2112-byte payload

Frame buffers 8192 per 16-port group on 32-port blades and up to

8192 per 24-port group on 48-port blades,

dynamically allocated

Classes of service Class 2, Class 3, Class F (inter-switch frames)

Fibre Channel

port types

D_Port (ClearLink Diagnostic Port), E_Port, EX_Port,

F_Port, M_Port (Mirror Port); optional port type control

Data trafc types Fabric switches supporting unicast
