Comprehensive, wire-speed, dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 routing support based on the Brocade NetIron OS:
High-performance, robust routing using Forwarding Information Base (FIB) programming in hardware
RIP/RIPng, OSPF/OSPFv3, IS-IS/IS-IS for IPv6, and BGP-4/BGP-MP for IPv6
Secure Multi-VRF routing for supporting virtual routing applications
VRRP and VRRP-E
127-bit IPv6 interface addresses
Industry-leading scalability up to:
10 million BGP routes
2.4 million IPv4 routes in hardware (FIB)
1.8 million IPv6 routes in hardware (FIB)
153,600 multicast routes
2,000 BGP peers per system
4,094 VLANs and up to 2 million MAC addresses
Software-Defined Networking (SDN):
OpenFlow 1.3: QoS (for metering and enqueue), Group Table (select and fast failover), QinQ (TAG type autorecognition), Active-Standby Controller, IPv6, Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 (controller interface)
Brocade OpenFlow in hybrid port mode with support for sFlow, and IP, and with protected VLAN for additional flexibility
Up to 32,000 flows supported
Superior high-availability design:
Redundant management modules
Redundant switch fabrics
Redundant power supplies and cooling system
Hitless Layer 2/3 failover with stateful OSPF IS-IS and BGP Graceful Restart
Hitless (in-service) software upgrades with Graceful Restart
Advanced QoS:
Hierarchical Quality of Service (H-QoS): Supports up to four levels of hierarchy— port, logical port (optional), customer (optional), and service
Inbound and outbound two-rate threecolor traffic policers with accounting
Eight distinct priority levels
WRED support for congestion management and precedence dropping (tunable via configuration)
Support for hybrid queue servicing disciplines: Mixed, Strict Priority, and Weighted Fair Queuing
Comprehensive hardware-based security and policies:
Layer 2/3 ACLs (both inbound and outbound)
Granular ACL accounting (both inbound and outbound)
Hardware-based packet filtering
Hardware-based Policy-Based Routing (PBR)
Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF)
IPv4/IPv6 Receive ACLs
IPv6 ACL-Based Rate Limiting
ACL Editing
Port-based network access control using 802.1x or MAC port security
Root guard and BPDU guard
Broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast rate limits
ARP inspection for static entries
Multi-port Static ARP and Static MAC
256-bit Suite B Algorithm IP-layer encryption
128-bit MAC-layer encryption
Multi-Chassis Trunking with support for up to 512 clients (Active/Active mode or Active/Standby mode for Active/ Passive access for client ports)
Full suite of unicast and multicast IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols:
Supported IPv4 protocols include RIP, OSPF, BGP-4, IS-IS, PIM-DM, PIMSM/SSM, IGMP, BGP-MP for multicast, MSDP, Anycast RP, PIM Multicast ECMP, and RPF shortcut
