The new Brocade Campus Fabric technology* maximizes the value of Brocade ICX 7250 Switches. It enables the Brocade ICX 7250 to extend ports in combination with Brocade ICX 7450 and 7750 Switches, creating a complete campus network solution with consolidated management across aggregation and core layers, shared network services—adding advanced Layer 3 capabilities to all switches—and scaleout flexibility to expand port density as needed (see Figure 2). The Brocade ICX 7250 with Campus Fabric technology* provides an ideal network access solution for the campus network.
Scaling Out Ports and Services as Demand Grows
The Brocade ICX 7250 is easy to deploy, manage, and integrate into both new and existing networks. Organizations can buy only what they need today, and easily scale out as demand grows and new technologies emerge.
Brocade stacking technology makes it easy to scale ports by stacking up to 12 Brocade ICX 7250 Switches into a single logical switch. This allows the Brocade ICX 7250 to provide a class-leading 80 Gbps of backplane bandwidth as well as simple and robust expandability for future growth at the network edge. In addition, this stacked switch has only a single IP address to simplify management and offers transparent forwarding across a pool of up to 576×1 GbE ports and 96×10 GbE ports. When new switches join the stack, they automatically inherit the stack’s existing configuration file, enabling true plug-and-play network expansion. Flexible licensing of 1 GbE to 10 GbE ports, for uplink and stacking, allows organizations to optimize network performance based on specific requirements.
Furthermore, Brocade Campus Fabric technology* enables organizations to add advanced Layer 3 services across the stack by simply adding premium Brocade ICX 7750 Switches to existing Brocade ICX 7250 deployments. This eliminates the need for “rip and replace” upgrades, since low-cost Brocade ICX 7250 ports can live on to inherit new services.
Up to 12 Brocade ICX 7250 Switches can be stacked together using up to four full-duplex SFP+ 10 Gbps ports for a fully redundant backplane with 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth.
Brocade Campus Fabric Technology: Extending Options and Scalability
Brocade Campus Fabric technology, offered for Brocade ICX 7250*, 7450, and 7750 Switches, extends network options and scalability. It integrates premium Brocade ICX 7750, midrange Brocade ICX 7450, and entry-level Brocade ICX 7250 Switches, collapsing network access, aggregation, and core layers into a single logical switch. This logical device shares network services while reducing management touch points and network hops through a single-layer design spanning the entire campus network.
These powerful deployments deliver equivalent or better functionality than large, rigid modular chassis systems, but with significantly lower costs and smaller carbon footprints.
Brocade ICX switches support a Distributed Chassis deployment model that uses standards-based optics and cabling interface connections to help ensure maximum distance between campus switches—up to 80 km—and minimum cabling costs—up to 50 percent less than incumbent solutions. This gives organizations the flexibility to deliver ports wherever they are needed on campus at a fraction of the cost. The Distributed Chassis design future-proofs campus networks by allowing networks to easily and cost-effectively expand in scale and capabilities.
Full Layer 3 Capabilities
Brocade ICX 7250 Switches offer an upgrade option to bring full Layer 3 capabilities to the network edge, reducing complexity and enhancing the reliability of enterprise networks.
Power to Spare
The Brocade ICX 7250 can deliver both power and data across network connections, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) standards and providing a single-cable solution for edge devices, such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, video surveillance equipment, and VDI thin terminals. Carrying data and power through a single Ethernet wire reduces the number of power receptacles and power adapters while increasing reliability and wiring flexibility. The Brocade ICX 7250-24P provides 370 watts and can deliver PoE power to all 24 ports, while the Brocade ICX 7250-48P provides 740 watts and can deliver PoE+ power for up to 12 or 24 ports. Both switches can provide PoE and PoE+ (30 watts) power to all ports when an external power supply is deployed.
The optional Brocade ICX-EPS 4000 is an external power supply source that delivers additional power for up to 16 Brocade ICX 7250 Switches (see Figures 3 and 4). It can be used for system power redundancy and an increased PoE/PoE+ power budget to enable additional ports.

EEE Power Savings
The Brocade ICX 7250 Switch supports the IEEE 802.3az standard for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), reducing power consumption during periods of low utilization. Ports are placed into a low power mode when no data is being transmitted.
In addition to stack-level high availability, Brocade ICX 7250 Switches also offer an external power supply for failover resiliency, as well as increased PoE/PoE+ port availability.
Enterprise-Class Availability
When every second matters, Brocade ICX 7250 Switches help deliver continuous availability to optimize the user experience. Brocade stacking technology delivers high availability, performing real-time state synchronization across the stack and enabling instantaneous hitless failover to a standby controller in the unlikely event of a failure of the master stack controller. Organizations also can use hot-insertion/ removal of stack members to avoid interrupting service when adding a switch to increase the capacity of a stack or replacing a switch that needs servicing.
Simplified, Open-Standards-based Management and Monitoring
The Brocade ICX 7250 provides simplified, standards-based management capabilities that help organizations reduce administrative time and effort while securing their networks.
sFlow-based “Always-On” Network Monitoring
sFlow is a modern, standards-based network export protocol (RFC 3176) that addresses many of the challenges that network managers face today. By embedding sFlow hardware support into the Brocade ICX 7250, Brocade delivers an “always-on” technology that operates with wire-speed performance. sFlow dramatically reduces implementation costs compared to traditional network monitoring solutions that rely on mirrored ports, probes, and line-tap technologies. Moreover, sFlow gives organizations full, enterprise-wide monitoring capability for every port in the network.
Simplified, Automated Deployment with Auto-Provisioning
The Brocade ICX 7250 supports autoprovisioning, simplifying deployment with a truly plug-and-play experience. Organizations can use this feature to automate IP address and feature configuration of the switches without requiring a highly trained network engineer onsite. When the switches power up, they can automatically receive their IP addresses and configuration files from DHCP and Trivial File Transport Protocol (TFTP) servers. They also can automatically receive a software update to be at the same code revision as currently installed switches.
Open-Standards Management
The Brocade ICX 7250 includes an industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI) and supports Secure Shell (SSHv2), Secure Copy (SCP), and SNMPv3 to restrict and encrypt management communications to the system. In addition, support for Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS/TACACS+) and RADIUS authentication helps ensure secure operator access.
SDN-Enabled Programmatic Control of the Network
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a powerful new network paradigm designed for the world’s most demanding networking environments and promises breakthrough levels of customization, scale, and efficiency. The Brocade ICX 7250 enables SDN by supporting the OpenFlow 1.3 protocol, which allows communication between an OpenFlow controller and an OpenFlowenabled switch. Using this approach, organizations can control their networks programmatically, transforming the network into a platform for innovation through new network applications and services.
The Brocade ICX 7250 delivers OpenFlow in true hybrid port mode, which allows organizations to simultaneously deploy traditional Layer 2/3 forwarding with OpenFlow on the same port. This unique capability provides a pragmatic path to SDN by enabling network administrators to progressively integrate OpenFlow into existing networks, giving them the programmatic control offered by SDN for specific flows while the remaining traffic is forwarded as before. Brocade ICX 7250 hardware support for OpenFlow enables organizations to apply these capabilities at line rate.
Plug-and-Play Operations for Powered Devices
Brocade ICX switches support the IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and ANSI TIA 1057 Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) standards that enable organizations to deploy interoperable multivendor solutions for Unified Communications (UC). Configuring IP endpoints such as VoIP phones can be a complex task, requiring manual and time-consuming configuration. LLDP and LLDP-MED provide a standard, open method for configuring, discovering, and managing network infrastructure.
To reduce complexity and the time spent managing these environments, the easy-to-use Brocade Network Advisor discovers, manages, and deploys configurations to groups of IP devices. By using Brocade Network Advisor, organizations can configure Virtual LANs (VLANs) within the network, manage wireless access points, and execute commands on specific IP devices or groups of IP devices. sFlowbased proactive monitoring is ideal for performing network-wide troubleshooting, generating traffic reports, and gaining visibility into network activity from the edge to the core. Brocade Network Advisor also centralizes the management of the entire family of Brocade wired products and Open Mobility partners’ wireless products.
