Specification

BR-G720-56-64G-F Specification
Fibre Channel ports Switch mode (default): 64 ports (48 64G SFP+ ports, plus 8 2x64G SFP-DD ports), each supporting E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, D_Ports, and EX_Ports.
24-port base configuration; additional ports are enabled with three 8-port SFP+ PODs (Ports on Demand), plus a 16-port SFP-DD POD (8 2x64G SFP-DD transceivers), scaling the switch from 24 ports to 64 ports.
Brocade Access Gateway default port mapping: 56 F_Ports, 8 N_Ports.
Scalability Full-fabric architecture with a maximum of 239 switches
Certified maximum 4K active nodes; 56 switches, 19 hops in Brocade Fabric OS fabrics.
Performance Fibre Channel: 8.5Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 10.53Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 14.025Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 28.05Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 57.8Gb/s line speed, full duplex; auto-sensing of 8, 10, 16, 32, and 64G port speeds. 10G optionally programmable to fixed-port speed.
ISL trunking Frame-based trunking with up to eight 64G SFP+ ports per ISL trunk; up to 512Gb/s per ISL trunk; up to two (4 x 32G) QSFP ports per ISL trunk. Exchange-based load balancing across ISLs with DPS included in Brocade Fabric OS.
Aggregate bandwidth 4.096Tb/s
Maximum fabric latency Latency for locally switched ports is <780 ns (including FEC); compression is 1 μs per node.
Maximum frame size 2,112-byte payload
Frame buffers 24K per switching ASIC
Classes of service Class 2, Class 3, Class F (inter-switch frames)
Port types F_Port, E_Port, M_Port, D_Port (ClearLink Diagnostic Port) on 24 SFP+ ports
Brocade Access Gateway mode: F_Port and NPIV-enabled N_Port
Data traffic types Fabric switches supporting unicast
