What speeds does the Brocade 200E support?

It auto-senses 1, 2, and 4 Gbit/sec per port in full-duplex, providing up to 128 Gbit/sec aggregate end-to-end bandwidth. Cut-through routing ensures 1.2 µsec latency at 4 Gbit/sec with no contention, supporting 2112-byte frames and Classes 2, 3, F.

Is the Brocade 200E rackmountable?

Yes, it has a 1U rackmount form factor with included mounting kit, suitable for 19-inch racks. It operates on AC 120/230V 50/60 Hz, consuming 45W, and fits enterprise data centers with low power and space requirements.

What is the scalability of this switch?

Supports full fabric architecture up to 239 switches. Ports on Demand allows non-disruptive expansion from 8 to 12 or 16 ports, making it ideal for growing from SMB SANs to enterprise fabrics without hardware changes.

What media types are compatible?

Uses industry-standard SFP LC connectors: Short-Wavelength Laser (SWL) for distances up to 500 meters (1640 feet) and Long-Wavelength (LWL) up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), enabling flexible fiber optic cabling in various deployment scenarios.

What OS environments does it support?

Compatible with UNIX, IBM AIX, SunSoft Solaris, Linux, Microsoft Windows NT, and Windows, with management via HTTP, SNMP, Telnet protocols for easy integration into heterogeneous IT infrastructures.

Product overview

The Brocade 200E is an enterprise-level 16-port Fibre Channel switch designed for small to medium-sized SAN environments. It supports scalable licensing from 8 to 16 ports in 4-port increments via Ports on Demand, with auto-sensing speeds of 1, 2, and 4 Gbit/sec per port for full-duplex operation, delivering up to 128 Gbit/sec aggregate end-to-end bandwidth. Key features include cut-through routing with 1.2 µsec latency at 4 Gbit/sec, support for Class 2, 3, and F services, and universal port types (E, F, FL) that self-discover based on switch configuration. It also operates in Brocade Access Gateway mode with 12 F_Ports and 4 NPIV-enabled N_Ports. The 1U rackmount form factor suits data centers, using hot-pluggable SFP transceivers for short-wave (up to 500m) or long-wave (up to 10km) fiber media. Compatible with UNIX, Linux, Windows, AIX, and Solaris, it enables full fabric scalability to 239 switches, ensuring reliable storage connectivity for growing businesses.
