Maximum Trunk support
and Maximum trunk port
member support on FastIron
SX interface modules
The following Interface modules support up to 12
ports per trunk group on the FastIron SX chassis for
both static and LACP trunks. A maximum of 256
trunks are supported when the following modules
are installed on the chassis:
• SX-FI48GPP—48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps
Ethernet PoE interface module
• SX-FI24GPP—24-port Gigabit Ethernet copper
interface module
• SX-FI24HF—24-port Gigabit Ethernet fiber
interface module
• SX-FI2XG—2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface
module
• SX-FI8XG—8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface
module

VRRP-E short-path
forwarding and revertible
option
Also known as ‘VRRP-E Extension for Server
Virtualization,’ enables the Brocade device to bypass
the master router and directly forward packets to
their destination through interfaces on the backup
router. If enabled, the traffic travels through the
short-path forwarding (SPF) path to reach the client.
“VRRP and VRRP-E” on page 1649
CPU rate-limiting Increases CPU efficiency by preventing unnecessary
traffic from being sent to the CPU and by limiting the
rate at which some packet types are delivered to the
CPU.
“CPU rate-limiting” on page 1787.

modules:
• SX-FI-24GPP
• SX-FI-24HF
• SX-FI-2XG
• SX-FI-8XG
• SX-FI48GPP
