Used Brocade Foundry Networks BigIrons (Family of Layer 3 Backbone Switches)
BigIron RX Series Switches Series
Foundry BigIron RX Series of 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(10GbE)switches offer flexibility, security, and performance. It
has wire-speed, non-blocking performance of up to 3.42 billion
packets per second per 7-foot Telco rack. The BigIron RX Series
offers a full family of chassis with interchangeable interface
modules.
Key Features:
- 5.12 Tbps raw switch fabric capacity, and 100 Gbps FDX
per full slot data capacity for wire-speed switching and
routing up to 2.2 billion pps per system.
- Non-blocking 10GbE and 1GbE port density of up to 128
non-blocking 10-Gigabit Ethernet or 1,536 Gigabit Ethernet
ports in a 32-slot chassis and up to 192 10GbE or 2,304
Gigabit Ethernet ports in a standard 7-foot Telco rack which
allows for maximum performance per RU.
- Foundry direct Routerin (FDR) with rule-based ACLs, for
wire-speed forwarding, filtering, and accelerated
convergence of IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
- End-to-end QoS delivery with Advanced Bandwidth
Management (ABM).
- Comprehensive hardware redundancy for management
modules, switch fabrics, power, and cooling, complemented by
Hitless management Failover (HMF) for Layer 2/Layer 3 with
GBP and OSPF graceful restart.
- Built-in sFlow technology (RFC3176) which delivers Layer
2-7 traffic visibility. this enables scalable network
monitoring, accounting and billing, detailed capacity
planning, and security analysis solutions.
Brocade Foundry BigIron 4000/8000/15000 Series
The Foundry BigIron 4000/8000/15000 Series maximizes revenue
per rack unit by minimizing space requirements for power and
cooling. They scale up to 232 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 28 10
Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 672 10/100 ports in a single modular
system with a total size of 17 rack units (RU).
- They support State-of-the-art Ternary Content
Addressable Memory (TCAM) and deliver large-scale wire-speed
Layer 3 switching, Policy Based Routing (PBR) and robust
OSPF and BGP4 implementations Protection against Denial of
Service attacks using IronShield™ security with wire-speed
extended Access Control Lists, Secure Shell, Secure Copy,
SNMP v3,and authentication with AAA,802.1x, RADIUS, and
TACACS+.
- Customized differentiated service offerings supporting
voice, video and data on the same network with (QoS) and
multicast capabilities.
- On-demand bandwidth provisioning with wire-speed
fine-grain bandwidth control.
- Built-in sFlow™ technology (RFC 3176) delivers scalable
network accounting and billing, capacity planning and
security analysis solutions using Layer 2–7 per-port
information.
- Carrier-class system and network reliability with
support for redundant management modules with rapid
failover, hot-swappable power supplies
and interface modules, Rapid STP, MRP, VRRP and VSRP.
- Jumbo frame support on both Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
expands the data payload for network intense data transfer
applications such as Storage Area Networks (SANs).
