Brocade ICX7450-24P-40G-E – switch – 24 portar

The Brocade ICX7450-24P sets itself apart with a non-blocking 320 Gbps switching fabric and a rare combination of 24 PoE+ access ports, four embedded 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, and two 40GbE QSFP+ stacking ports in a single 1U chassis. Unlike typical edge switches that force a choice between port density and uplink bandwidth, this model delivers both, plus hardware-based Layer 3 routing and a modular, hot-swappable power architecture that keeps downtime to a minimum.

Highlights

• 24 × 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ ports with IEEE 802.3at support for up to 30 W per port
• 4 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplinks and 2 fixed 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ stacking/uplink ports
• 320 Gbps full-duplex switching capacity and 238 Mpps forwarding rate for line-rate performance
• Layer 3 routing with static, RIP, OSPF, BGP, and VRRP for resilient multi-site deployments
• Up to 12-unit stacking with high-speed 40GbE links simplifies management and increases resiliency
• Modular, hot-swappable power supplies support optional redundancy and reduce service interruptions

In daily use

Deploying the ICX7450-24P at the access layer means IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras can be powered directly from the switch, eliminating separate power injectors. The four 10GbE SFP+ ports provide ample uplink bandwidth to aggregation or core layers, while the 40GbE QSFP+ ports enable high-speed stacking for a single logical device across up to twelve units. Network administrators will appreciate the comprehensive management suite—CLI, web GUI, SNMP, and sFlow—plus security features such as 802.1X, MAC-based authentication, and DHCP snooping to protect the edge. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power consumption during low-link-utilization periods, lowering operational costs in always-on environments.
