What is the stacking capability of this switch?

The ICX6610-48-PE includes 4 x 40 GbE QSFP stacking ports delivering 320 Gbps stacking bandwidth. This enables hitless stacking of multiple units into a single logical switch, simplifying management and providing non-disruptive scalability up to hundreds of ports.

What is the switching capacity and performance?

Switching capacity reaches up to 268 Gbps per packet processor with wire-speed non-blocking forwarding. It handles latency-sensitive traffic like voice/video/VDI effectively, supported by Brocade's architecture for full L2/L3 features in stackable configurations.

What power and cooling options are available?

Equipped with 1 x 250 W hot-swappable power supply using power-supply-side intake airflow and 1 x hot-swappable fan assembly. This design ensures reliability, easy maintenance, and efficient thermal management in 1U rack environments.

Is this switch rack-mountable and what form factor?

Yes, it is a 1U rack-mountable switch with standard 19-inch mounting. The compact design with hot-swappable components optimizes space and uptime in data centers, wiring closets, or branch offices.

What software is included with ICX6610-48-PE?

Ships with base software enabling core Layer 2/3 stacking, routing, and management features. Supports advanced capabilities like OSPF, VRRP, ACLs, and sFlow for enterprise-grade networking without additional licensing for fundamental operations.
