BROCADE CAMPUS FABRICTECHNOLOGYBrocade Campus Fabric technologybrings campus networks into the modernera to better support seamless wirelessmobility, security, and ease of applicationdeployment. This innovative technologycollapses multiple network layers into asingle logical switch, flattening the networkand eliminating deployment complexitywhile simplifying network management andreducing operating costs.Brocade Campus Fabric technologyenables organizations to build networksthat deliver:Figure 1. The Brocade ICX 7750-48F features 48 1/10 GbE SFP ports and 6 40 GbE QSFP ports that can each be split into 4 10 GbE SFP ports. The front panel also displays the unit stacking ID.Figure 2. The Brocade ICX 7750-48C features 48 10GBASE-T ports and 6 40 GbE QSFP portsthat can each be split into 4 10 GbE SFP ports. Consolidated management: Reducesunnecessary network layers to createlarge management domains thateliminate individual switch touch points,reducing maintenance time and costs. Shared network services: Allowspremium and entry-level switches tomesh together into a single logicalswitch and share advanced Layer 2/3services, delivering lower price-per-portfunctionality without compromisingperformance. Scale-out networking: Integrates highperformance, fixed form-factor switchesto create a single distributed logicalswitch that is independent of physicallocation and allows organizations to addports whenever and wherever neededacross the campus without addingcomplexity.Figure 3. The Brocade ICX 7750-26Q features 26 40 GbE QSFP ports that can be split into asmany as 96 10 GbE SFP ports.Brocade Campus FabricTechnology: ExtendingOptions and ScalabilityBrocade Campus Fabric technology,offered for Brocade ICX 7250*, 7450,and 7750 Switches, extends networkoptions and scalability. It integratespremium Brocade ICX 7750, midrangeBrocade ICX 7450, and entry-levelBrocade ICX 7250 Switches, collapsingnetwork access, aggregation, and corelayers into a single logical switch. Thislogical device shares network serviceswhile reducing management touch pointsand network hops through a singlelayer design spanning the entire campusnetwork. These powerful deploymentsdeliver equivalent or better functionalitythan large, rigid modular chassis systems,but with significantly lower costs andsmaller carbon footprints.* Support on the Brocade ICX 7250 to be available in a future release.2Brocade ICX switches support aDistributed Chassis deployment modelthat uses standards-based optics andcabling interface connections to helpensure maximum distance betweencampus switches—up to 80 km—andminimum cabling costs—up to 50 percentless than incumbent solutions. This givesorganizations the flexibility to deliver portswherever they are needed on campusat a fraction of the cost. The DistributedChassis design future-proofs campusnetworks by allowing networks to easilyand cost-effectively expand in scale andcapabilities.
Leading-Edge Flexibility andReliabilityThe Brocade ICX 7750 provides a highlyflexible 10/40 GbE aggregation solutionthat offers the highest levels of reliabilityand port density available in a 1U formfactor. The Brocade ICX 7750 is availablein three models: the Brocade ICX7750-48F, 7750-48C, and 7750-26Q.The Brocade ICX 7750-48F and7750-48C both offer 48 10 GbE ports(SFP and 10GBASE-T, respectively) andup to 12 40 GbE ports (six optional)(see Figures 1 and 2). The Brocade ICX7750-26Q offers up to 32 40 GbEQSFP ports (six optional) (see Figure 3).All models support stacking, which allowsorganizations to buy only the ports theyneed now and expand later by addingswitches to the stack where and whenthey are needed. This eliminates the needfor a forklift upgrade and helps avoidprovisioning an underutilized, centralizedchassis. In addition, the Brocade ICX7750 supports redundant, hot-swappableAC or DC power supplies and fans,reversible airflow, and advanced software.Distributed ChassisArchitecture for UltimateFlexibilityThe Brocade ICX 7750 Switch redefinesthe economics of enterprise networking bydelivering a unique 10/40 GbE campusaggregation solution in a fixed form factorand new levels of performance, availability,and flexibility. It provides the capabilitiesof a chassis with the flexibility and costeffectiveness of a stackable switch.Figure 4. Up to 12 Brocade ICX 7750 Switches can be stacked using up to 12 standard full-duplex40 Gbps QSFP ports per switch, providing up to 5.76 Tbps of aggregated stacking bandwidth.Figure 5. The Brocade ICX 7750 features hot-swappable redundant power supplies (1 1) and fans(3 1), and an optional 6 40 GbE ports module that can be used for stacking or as additional 40 GbEdata ports.The Brocade ICX 7750 delivers wirespeed, non-blocking performance acrossall ports to support latency-sensitiveapplications such as real-time voice/video streaming and Virtual DesktopInfrastructure (VDI). Up to 12 BrocadeICX 7750 Switches can be stackedtogether using up to 12 full-duplex40 Gbps standard QSFP stackingports that provide an unprecedentedmaximum of 5.76 Tbps of aggregatedstacking bandwidth with full redundancy,eliminating inter-switch bottlenecks(see Figure 4).High Availability with HitlessFailoverOrganizations can count on Brocade ICX7750 Switches to deliver continuousavailability for an optimized userexperience. Brocade stacking technologyhelps provide high availability, performingreal-time state synchronization acrossthe stack and enabling instantaneoushitless failover to a standby controllerin the unlikely event of a failure of themaster stack controller. Organizations alsocan use hot-insertion/removal of stackmembers to avoid interrupting servicewhen adding a switch to increase thecapacity of a stack or replacing a switchthat needs servicing. These featuresprovide another level of availability for thecampus wiring closet in a compact formfactor. Additional design features includeintake and exhaust temperature sensorsand fan spin detection to quickly identifyabnormal or failed operating conditions—helping to minimize mean time to repair.3
FLEXIBLE, LONG-DISTANCESTACKINGUp to 12 Brocade ICX 7750 Switchescan be stacked together to form asingle logical switch, providing STPfree traffic forwarding, a single point ofmanagement, and Link AggregationGroups (LAGs) across the stack.Up to 12 full-duplex standard QSFP 40 Gbps stacking ports (front six andthe optional rear six ports may be used)provide a class-leading 5.76 Tbps ofaggregated stacking bandwidth withfull redundancy, essentially eliminatingthe need to work around inter-switchbottlenecks.A selection of standard QSFP coppercables or standard QSFP optics canbe used to stack Brocade ICX 7750Switches together, enabling stackingover distance and thereby eliminatingthe need for stacked switches to becolocated in the same wiring closet.BROCADE ICX 7750 SWITCH ANDCONTROLLER INTEROPERABILITYThe Brocade ICX 7750 Switch operatesseamlessly under the Brocade SDNController. This controller is a qualityassured edition of the OpenDaylightcontroller code supported by anestablished networking provider andits leaders within the OpenDaylightcommunity.4Increased Reliability throughRedundancy and IntelligenceThe Brocade ICX 7750 includes dualinternal redundant power supplies. Thesepower supplies are hot-swappable andload-sharing with auto-sensing and autoswitching capabilities, which are criticalfor power redundancy and deploymentflexibility (see Figure 5).The hot-swappable power supplies(1 1) and fan assembly (3 1) alloworganizations to replace componentswithout service disruption. In addition,several high-availability and faultdetection features help in failover of criticaldata flows, enhancing overall systemavailability and reliability. Organizationscan use Brocade Network Advisor andsFlow-based network monitoring andtrending to proactively monitor riskareas and optimize network resources.Brocade Multi-Chassis Trunking (MCT)supports dual homing of wiring closetaccess switches, or servers in a rack, totwo Brocade ICX 7750 stacks in an MCTpeer group, eliminating the risk of a singlepoint of failure. In conjunction with MCT,VRRP-E (the Brocade extension to VRRPfor MCT) provides redundancy and subsecond failover for both Layer 2 andLayer 3. For metro or campusdeployments in a ring topology, theBrocade Metro Ring Protocol (MRP-Iand MRP-II) prevents Layer 2 loopsand enables faster re-convergence thanSpanning Tree Protocol (STP) withsub-second failover.SDN-Enabled ProgrammaticControl of the NetworkSoftware-Defined Networking (SDN)is a powerful new network paradigmdesigned for the world’s most demandingnetworking environments and promisesbreakthrough levels of customization,scale, and efficiency. The BrocadeICX 7750 enables SDN by supportingthe OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3 protocols,which allow communication between anOpenFlow controller and an OpenFlowenabled switch. Using this approach,organizations can control their networksprogrammatically, transforming thenetwork into a platform for innovationthrough new network applicationsand services. The Brocade ICX 7750delivers OpenFlow in true hybrid portmode. With Brocade hybrid port mode,organizations can simultaneously deploytraditional Layer 2/3 forwarding withOpenFlow on the same port. This uniquecapability provides a pragmatic path toSDN by enabling network administratorsto progressively integrate OpenFlowinto existing networks, giving them theprogrammatic control offered by SDN forspecific flows while the remaining traffic isforwarded as before. Brocade ICX 7750hardware support for OpenFlow enablesorganizations to apply these capabilities atline rate in 10 GbE and 40 GbE networks.Greener Campus and DataCenter Networks with LowerTCOAs application data and storagerequirements continue to riseexponentially, demand for higher portdensity and bandwidth grows, along withthe number of network devices and powerconsumption. Organizations seekingto reduce TCO need solutions that canprovide higher scalability and densityper rack unit, thereby reducing powerconsumption and heat dissipation.
The Brocade ICX 7750 addresses thoseneeds with a state-of-the-art ASIC,reversible airflow, automatic fan-speedcontrol, and power-efficient optics toensure the most efficient use of power andcooling. For low-cost, low-latency, andlow-energy-consuming cabling within andbetween the racks, the Brocade ICX 7750supports SFP direct-attached coppercables at up to 5 meters. For switch-toswitch connectivity, the BrocadeICX 7750 supports low-powerconsuming SFP and 40GBASE-SR4QSFP optical transceivers at up to100 meters. In high-port-densitydeployments, these features savesignificant operating costs.Superior ROI and InvestmentProtectionThe Brocade ICX 7750 combinesstrategic performance, availability, andscalability advantages with investmentprotection for existing LAN environments.It utilizes the same Brocade FastIron operating system used by other BrocadeEthernet/IP products. This helps ensurefull forward and backward compatibilityamong the product family whilesimplifying software maintenance andfield upgrades.Moreover, the use of the same industrystandard Command Line Interface (CLI),common to all Brocade ICX switches,eliminates the need for staff retraining.As a result, the Brocade ICX 7750enables organizations to better leveragetheir current training, tools, devices, andprocesses.Simplified, Standards-basedManagementDeploying more switches in a data centerinfrastructure can increase overall networkperformance, but it can also preventorganizations from gaining a completeview of network capacity, bandwidthconsumption, utilization, and overallhealth.To overcome this challenge, the BrocadeICX 7750 utilizes sFlow, a unique solutionthat helps simplify network managementand monitoring. By providing realtime visibility into the network, sFlowhelps organizations effectively managetransactions flowing throughout thenetwork. This open standards-basedapproach integrates with a wide range ofmanagement, monitoring, and trendingutilities. For example, organizations canuse Brocade Network Advisor to manageall Brocade data center Ethernet/IPswitches and routers, including BrocadeVDX switches, Brocade ICX switches,Brocade FCX Series switches, BrocadeADX Series application delivery switches,and Brocade MLXe core routers.The Brocade ICX 7750 also supportsthe IEEE 802.1AB LLDP standard,enabling organizations to build open,converged, and advanced multivendornetworks. LLDP greatly simplifiesand enhances network management,asset management, and networktroubleshooting.With the resulting insight, organizationscan quickly and accurately review overalldata center operations, identifyhot spots,and quickly diagnose and troubleshootissues before they develop intowidespread problems. The Brocade ICX7750 also provides accurate SNMP/RMON statistics to Brocade NetworkAdvisor, reducing the administrativeburden normally associated with proactivenetwork management, design, andcapacity planning.Purpose-built Feature SetThe Brocade ICX 7750 combines awide range of unique features to helporganizations overcome the mostchallenging business requirements.Industry-Leading AdvancedLayer 2 and Layer 3 FeaturesTo provide self-healing topologies in Layer2 configurations, the Brocade ICX 7750supports industry-standard Ethernetprotocols, including multiple varieties ofSTP and link aggregation as well as optic-,link-, and switch-level fault detection andcorrection features. The advanced Layer2 and Layer 3 feature set is leveragedfrom Brocade FastIron switches that havebeen field-proven in enterprise and datacenter networks for more than a decade.With rich Layer 3 features enabled,organizations can utilize the BrocadeICX 7750 in multiple applications.Data Protection through RobustSecuritySecurity is a critical requirement in today’sdata centers and branch offices, andthe Brocade ICX 7750 provides robustsecurity through a wide range of advancedfeatures. Organizations can use bothregular and extended Access Control Lists(ACLs) to control access to and throughdata center networks.Organizations can use control policiesthat permit or deny traffic based on a widevariety of identification characteristics—such as source/destination MACaddresses, source/destination IPaddresses, TCP/UDP ports/sockets,and well-known port numbers—furtherprotecting and restricting network access.In addition, for maximum security theBrocade ICX 7750 also leverages 802.1xsecurity, MAC authentication, port MACsecurity, and MAC filter enhancements.The Brocade ICX 7750 implementshardware-based ACL, so securitydoes not adversely affect switchingperformance. In addition, the BrocadeICX 7750 provides hardware-basedprotection against Distributed Denial of5

Also, BPDU Guardand Root Guard prevent rogue hijackingof the spanning tree root and maintaina contention-free—and loop-free—environment, especially during dynamicnetwork deployments.After the traffic is classified, organizationshave complete control over the methodthe system uses to service the queues:Weighted Round Robin (WRR), StrictPriority (SP), or a mix of both. For granularcontrol to regulate bandwidth utilization,the Brocade ICX 7750 can also performingress rate limiting and egress rateshaping.Advanced QoS to Improve DataTraffic IntegrityMulticast-based ApplicationsThe Brocade ICX 7750 offers superiorQoS features designed to ensure highreliability services throughout the datacenter. It can identify, mark, classify,reclassify, and manage traffic based onspecific criteria. This enables organizationsto classify bandwidth-critical applicationtraffic, discriminating among various trafficflows and enforcing bandwidth policies.6The use of video, financial, and other oneto-many applications requires support forscalable multicast services. The BrocadeICX 7750 supports IGMPv1/2/3,PIM-SM/SSM/DM, MSDP, AnycastRP, and PIM and IGMP/MLD Snoopingfor optimized multicast forwarding. Inaddition, the Brocade ICX 7750 providesstorm-control features to contain andintelligently switch rather than broadcastmulticast traffic.The Brocade ICX 7750 provides a highperformance, cost-effective solution formany types of campus and data centerenvironments, including 10/40 GbEcore and aggregation of campus accessswitches, Top-of-Rack (ToR) serverconnectivity, and HPC environments.Campus Aggregation forEnterprise NetworksThe Brocade ICX 7750 provides thenecessary advanced Layer 2 and Layer3 features, high 10/40 GbE port density,and high-availability capabilities to bedeployed as a campus aggregationsolution. A stack of Brocade ICX 7750Switches interconnected with 40 GbElinks makes a cost-effective, highlyavailable campus aggregation solution.Collapsed Campus Aggregation/CoreTraditional three-tier network design, with“big-box” chassis at the aggregation andcore layers, requires a significant up-frontinvestment and offers limited deploymentflexibility and future-proofing. In contrast,a distributed “multi-box” architectureat the aggregation and core layers candeliver much greater scalability andfuture-proofing with an easier “upgrade asyou go” model. This type of architectureenables network architects to add capacityexactly where it is needed in the network,unlike a big-box chassis approach, with allports located in the same closet.Thanks to rapid technology evolutionand innovative thinking, Brocade is ableto offer the first stackable solution forcampus aggregation and small corethat delivers higher performance andport density than a traditional midsizechassis, while offering the same level ofreliability and availability. Brocade longdistance stacking technology enablesa ring of Brocade ICX 7750 Switchesinterconnected with 40 GbE stacking linksand separated by up to 10 km each to beused as a combined aggregation and corelayer for a midsize campus (see Figure 6).
Data Center ToR ServerConnectivityThe Brocade ICX 7750 is designed to fitin server racks, and it consumes onlyone rack unit. To simplify cabling, the10 GbE Network Interface Cards (NICs)in the servers connect to the BrocadeICX 7750 10 GbE ports by using fiberand SFP optical transceivers, SFP direct-attached copper cable, or standardcopper Ethernet twisted pair cables with10GBASE-T (see Figure 7).If any servers in the rack have only1 GbE-capable NICs, organizations canconnect them to the same Brocade ICX7750 Switch by using a 10 GbE port asa 1 GbE port through an SFP or copperport. The Brocade ICX 7750 ToR switchcan connect to the data center middle-ofrow/end-of-row aggregation chassis witheither 10 GbE or 40 GbE, usually throughlink aggregation.The Brocade ICX 7750 provides datacenter ToR access while Brocade MLXerouters provide an aggregation/coresolution.Cost-Effective 10 GbEAggregationIn data center environments where mostservers are 1 GbE-capable, the BrocadeICX 7750 provides a compact and costeffective 10 GbE aggregation switch. Itconnects to the data center core through10 GbE or 40 GbE ports, and it uses10 GbE links to connect to Brocade ICXToR switches at the edge of the network(see Figure 8).BrocadeMLXeBrocadeICX 7750CampusnetworkBrocadeICX 7750BrocadeMLXeBrocadeICX 7750BrocadeICX 7750BrocadeICX 7750Data centeraggregation/coreBrocadeICX 775010 GbEserver40 GbEData centeraccess10 GbEFigure 7.
