Specifications

       Description
  • The Extreme Brocade BR-VDX6740T-56-1G-R is a flexible and high-performance switch designed for medium-sized data centers and enterprise networks. It offers 48x 1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports with an upgrade path to 10GbE via Capacity on Demand (CoD) licensing, providing scalability to meet evolving network requirements.
  • Equipped with 2 active 40GbE QSFP+ uplink ports (expandable to 4 with Port-on-Demand licenses), the switch supports high-speed backbone connectivity and aggregation. Its powerful hardware delivers a switching capacity of 1.28 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 960 million packets per second (Mpps), ensuring smooth and reliable data flow for business-critical applications.
  • The switch features a large MAC address table supporting 160,000 entries, enabling it to efficiently manage numerous connected devices. The back-to-front airflow (port-side exhaust) design and redundant hot-swappable power supplies make it well-suited for data center environments requiring high availability and efficient cooling.
       Port Configuration:
  • 48x 1GbE RJ45 ports, upgradeable to 48x 10GbE RJ45 via software license
  • 2x Active 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks (4 total ports accessible with PoD license)
  • Each 40GbE port can be split into four independent 10GbE SFP+ ports
