Brocade BigIron RX Series\n\nThe Brocade BigIron RX Series of switches provides over one billion packet-per-second performance for cost-effective scaling in data center deployments, with hardware-based IP routing to 512,000 IP routes per line module. The high-availability design features redundant and hot-pluggable hardware, hitless software upgrades, and graceful BGP and OSPF restart.\n\nThe role of data networks in our daily lives continues to expand and grow. Emerging needs such as application convergence, non-stop operation, scalability and IPv6-readiness place new demands on the network. Modern network solutions must be assessed across a wider set of attributes than earlier-generation equipment. In particular, the network must be evaluated on merits that include performance, reliability, scalability, Quality of Service (QoS), security, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).\n\nThe BigIron RX Series of Layer 2/3 Ethernet switches excels in all of these areas, enabling network designers to deploy an Ethernet infrastructure that addresses today's requirements with a scalable and future-ready architecture that will support network growth and evolution for years to come. The BigIron RX Series incorporates the latest advances in switch architecture, system resilience, QoS, and switch security in a family of modular chassis setting industry-leading benchmarks for price-performance, scalability, and TCO.\n\nAvailable in three chassis models, the BigIron RX Series allows network designers to standardize on a single product family for data center server access, aggregation, and core switching. In addition, the BigIron RX Series, with its high-density and compact design, is an ideal IP solution for data mining and high-performance computing environments where non-blocking, high-density Ethernet switches are needed.\n\nAll three BigIron RX systems are designed for non-stop operation, supporting 1:1 management module redundancy, N+1 switch module redundancy, M+N power module redundancy, and N+1 fan redundancy. Additionally, the BigIron RX Series supports hitless software upgrades and graceful restart routing for fast convergence in the event of a management module failure.\n\nAt the heart of the BigIron RX architecture is an adaptive self-routing Clos switch fabric with a Virtual Output Queue (VOQ) design. This non-blocking architecture is optimized for maximum throughput and low latency for all size packets. Scalable to over one billion packets per second, the BigIron RX Series is the most powerful Ethernet switch family in the industry. This advanced and scalable design ensures the reliable delivery of all IP-based voice, video, and data applications. The BigIron RX switches ship with field-proven Brocade IronWare networking software and Brocade IronShield security, embedded sFlow per port, advanced Ethernet switching, IPv4/IPv6 routing, and multilayer security services. The BigIron RX Series enables a user to deploy a reliable, secure, and scalable networking solution today that is ready to accommodate tomorrow's applications and technologies.\n\nIndustry-Leading Performance and Scalability\n\nThe BigIron RX Series is the industry's most powerful switch family, delivering up to 1.6 Tbps of switching capacity and 1.14 billion packets per second of forwarding performance.\nHigh-Availability Design\n\n- Redundant, hot-swappable components provide non-stop service delivery;\n- Switch Fabric Element Redundancy: Systems configured with a redundant switch fabric module support millisecond fail-over performance;\n- Switch Fabric Element Redundancy: Systems configured with a redundant switch fabric module support millisecond fail-over performance;\n- Hitless Management Failover (HMF): Stateful Layer 2 failover ensures that the forwarding engines on the line modules are not impacted by a management failover. This capability enables non-stop packet forwarding in the event of a management module failover;\n- Redundant Power Supplies: All three chassis support M+N power module redundancy for AC and DC power configurations;\n- Distributed Forwarding Architecture ?

Continuous System Monitoring (CSM) is a tool that runs in the background and monitors specific hardware components on all line cards, switch fabrics, and management modules. It uses both polling and interrupt methods to gather information about the system. If a failure is detected, an alarm entry is placed in the syslog, allowing IT administrators to take action. CSM will shut down, reset, or redirect traffic depending on the failure type.
