Product overview

The Brocade 300 Series BR-360-0008 is an enterprise-grade SAN switch designed for small to medium-sized data centers requiring reliable Fibre Channel connectivity. It features 24x 8G SFP ports, with 8 active by default and expandable in 8-port increments, supporting auto-sensing speeds of 1/2/4/8 Gbit/sec full duplex. Maximum throughput reaches 408 Gbit/sec, enabled by protocols like NPIV, N_Port Trunking, ISL Trunking, and advanced features such as zoning, ingress rate limiting, and traffic isolation. Management options include 10/100 Ethernet, in-band Fibre Channel, serial, USB, and Brocade Fabric Manager. The 1U rack-mountable form factor measures 42.88 cm W x 4.29 cm H x 30.66 cm D, weighs 4.2 kg without SFPs, and operates from 0°C to 40°C. It supports full fabric or NPIV Access Gateway modes, ensuring scalability and interoperability in core-to-edge SAN environments with low latency and efficient diagnostics like POST, RAStrace, and FCping.

Frequently asked questions

What are the port specifications of the Brocade BR-360-0008?

It features 24x 8G SFP Fibre Channel ports with 8 active by default, expandable in 8-port increments. Ports auto-sense 1/2/4/8 Gbit/sec full duplex speeds with speed matching, supporting FL_Port, F_Port, M_Port, E_Port, and NPIV-enabled N_Port in Access Gateway mode.

What is the maximum throughput and latency?

Maximum uncongested throughput is 408 Gbit/sec, with fabric latency of 700 ns at 8 Gbps using cut-through routing. ISL Trunking combines up to eight 8 Gbit/sec ports into a 68 Gbit/sec logical trunk for enhanced bandwidth.

What management and diagnostic features are available?

Management via 10/100 Ethernet, in-band FC, serial RJ-45, USB, and Brocade Fabric Manager. Diagnostics include POST, RAStrace, environmental monitoring, FCping, Pathinfo traceroute, and non-disruptive port mirroring for troubleshooting without downtime.

What are the physical dimensions and environmental specs?

1U rack-mountable form factor: 42.88 cm W x 4.29 cm H x 30.66 cm D, weighs 4.2 kg without SFPs. Operates at 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), with non-port-to-port airflow and hot-swappable redundant power supplies.

What protocols and advanced features does it support?

Supports NPIV, N_Port Trunking, FDMI, FSPF, Fabric Watch, Extended Fabrics, ISL Trunking, IPoFC, frame redirection, port fencing. Advanced features include zoning, ingress rate limiting, traffic isolation, top talkers, and adaptive networking for optimized performance.

Can it function in Access Gateway mode?

Yes, dual functionality as full-fabric SAN switch or NPIV-enabled Access Gateway, connecting up to 24 hosts to Brocade or third-party fabrics. Enhances scalability with up to 408 Gbit/sec throughput and simplifies management in edge deployments.
