Brocade 6510 overview
The Brocade 6510 is a 48-port auto-sensing 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps as well as 10 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) switch that delivers the latest
Brocade single-chip architecture for Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). The Brocade 6510 is an enterprise-class switch that
is designed to handle the large-scale SAN requirements of an enterprise, and can also be used to address the SAN requirements of a
small to medium-sized workgroup.
The Brocade 6510 provides 48 ports in a single (1U) height switch that enables the creation of very dense fabrics in a relatively small
space.
The Brocade 6510 oers Ports on Demand (POD) licensing as well. “Base” models of the switch contain 24 ports, and up to two
additional 12-port POD licenses can be purchased. The Brocade 6510 provides excellent overall value as the foundation of a SAN with
the ability to grow with an organization’s SAN needs.
The Brocade 6510 supplies Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) performance and scalability requirements of an enterprise
switch along with interoperability and ease-of-use advantages.
The Brocade 6510 can also be congured in Access Gateway mode that lets you congure your Enterprise fabric to handle additional
N_Ports instead of domains. By reducing the number of domain IDs and ports you simplify conguration and management in a large
fabric.
Switches in AG mode are logically transparent to the host and the fabric. You can increase the number of hosts that have access to the
fabric without increasing the number of switches.
The Brocade 6510 is less than 18 inches deep, allowing for greater installation exibility. It also has airow direction options. You can
order either port side exhaust (the default conguration) or nonport side exhaust airow to accommodate specic installations.
Platform capabilities
The Brocade 6510 oers the following features and capabilities:
• Up to 48 auto-sensing ports of high-performance 16 Gbps technology in a single domain.
• Ports on Demand scaling from 24 to 36 or 48 ports.
• 2, 4, 8, and 16 Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch and router ports.
– 2, 4, and 8 Gbps performance is enabled by 8 Gbps SFP+ transceivers.
– 4, 8, and 16 Gbps performance is enabled by 16 Gbps SFP+ transceivers.
• 10 Gbps manual set capability on FC ports (requires the optional 10 Gigabit FCIP/Fibre Channel license).
– 10 Gbps performance is enabled by 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers.
– Ports can be congured for 10 Gbps for metro connectivity (on the rst eight ports only).
Brocade 6510 Hardware Installation Guide

• Universal ports self-congure as E, F, M, or D ports. EX_Ports can be activated on a per port basis with the optional Integrated
Routing license.
– Brocade Diagnostic Port (D-Port) feature provides physical media diagnostic, troubleshooting and verication services.
•In-ight data compression and encryption on up to two ports provides ecient link utilization and security.
• Options for port side exhaust (default) or nonport side exhaust airow for cooling.
• Virtual Fabric support to improve isolation between dierent VFs.
• Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) service, available with the optional Integrated Routing license provides improved scalability and
fault isolation.
• FICON, FICON Cascading, and FICON Control Unit Port ready.
• Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps speeds) between a pair of
switches combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 128 Gbps (256 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth
utilization and load balancing.
• Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to
the most ecient available path in the fabric.
• Brocade-branded SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of Short Wavelength (SWL) and Long Wavelength
(LWL) or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
• Extended distance support enables native Fibre Channel extension up to 7,500 km at 2 Gbps.
• Support for unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data trac types.
• Brocade Fabric OS, which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide range of value-added
applications including Brocade Advanced Web Tools and Brocade Zoning. Optional Fabric Services include: Adaptive
Networking with QoS, Brocade Extended Fabrics, Brocade Enhanced Group Management, Brocade Fabric Watch, ISL
Trunking, and End-to-End Performance Monitoring (APM).
• Support for Access Gateway conguration where server ports connected to the fabric core will be virtualized.
• Hardware zoning is accomplished at the port level of the switch and by World Wide Name (WWN). Hardware zoning permits or
denies delivery of frames to any destination port address.
• Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS).
• 10G Fibre Channel integration on the same port provides for DWDM metro connectivity on the same switch (can be done on
rst eight ports only).
• The Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard that makes SAN conguration a three-step point-and-click task.
• Real time power monitoring enables users to monitor real time power usage of the fabric at a switch level.
• Port-to-port latency minimized to 800 nanoseconds through the use of cut-through frame routing at 16 Gbps.
Platform components
• A system motherboard that features a PowerPC 440EPx Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) CPU running at 667 MHz,
with integrated peripherals, and that provides high performance with low power consumption.
• An RJ45 10/100 Bast T Ethernet system management port, in conjunction with EZSwitchSetup, that supports switch IP
address discovery and conguration, eliminating the need to attach a serial cable to congure the switch IP address and greatly
increasing the ease of use.
• One RS-232 serial port with RJ45 connector for initial switch setup (if not using EZSwitch Setup) and factory default
restoration. (the integral LEDs remain unlit at all times)
• A USB port that provides storage for rmware updates, output of the supportSave command and storage for conguration
uploads and downloads.
