Device Overview
2.1 Functionality Features
The Brocade 7810 supports the following functions:
n
Four logical Extension tunnels with combined maximum bandwidth of 2.5Gb/s to allow for scalable connectivity
between sites.
– The switch does not support FCIP connectivity to the Brocade 7800 or FX8-24 blade because connections to these
products are inoperable.
– The switch does support FCIP connectivity to the Brocade 7840 or SX6 blade.
n
Hybrid mode only. This mode enables FCIP and IP Extension traffic to traverse through the tunnels.
n
Extension trunking. This feature allows multiple IP source and destination address pairs (defined as circuits) using
multiple 1/10GbE interfaces to provide high-bandwidth Extension tunnel and lossless failover resiliency. In addition,
each circuit supports the following QoS classes as individual TCP connections:
– Class-F
– FC-High
– FC-Medium
– FC-Low Priority
– IPEXT-High,
– IPEXT-Medium
– IPEXT-Low Priority
n
ARL enforces a minimum bandwidth guarantee for each circuit and permits adaptive utilization up to a set maximum
bandwidth level. ARL optimizes network utilization of available bandwidth.
n
Software-based compression to deliver higher throughput over lower bandwidth links in the wide area network,
optimizing the cost efficiencies of Extension. The Brocade 7810 compresses FC frames and IP datagrams before they
are encapsulated into Extension batches and transported across the WAN.
n
Key protocol features that optimize performance of Extension over IP networks include WAN Optimized TCP (WO-
TCP), 9K jumbo frames, and end-to-end Path MTU (PMTU) auto-discovery.
n
Hardware-based IPsec supporting a mixture of secure and nonsecure tunnels on the same Ethernet port, jumbo
frames, and VLAN-tagged connections. The Brocade 7810 IPsec function is capable of supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.
n
FastWrite and Open Systems Tape Pipelining (OSTP) to mitigate the latency effect of a long-distance Extension
connection over an IP WAN.
n
A built-in WAN link tester (WTool) that generates traffic over an IP connection to test for maximum throughput,
congestion, loss percentage, out-of-order delivery, latency, and other network conditions. This tester helps determine
the health of a WAN link before deploying it for use.
n
NVMe and VMOSAN traffic types.
n
REST APIs for configuration and monitoring.
n
Fiber Channel Routing (FCR) on FC ports, such as EX_Ports.
n
Fabric Vision advanced monitoring to provide the following functions:
– Policy-based monitoring for Extension connectivity and WAN anomalies using multilayer metrics.
– Flow monitoring that reports IOPS and the data rate of individual I/O flows of inter-DC replication and tape backup
operations.
– Flow generator that generates FC frames for a defined flow with a default or a customized size and pattern. These
frames are sent across an Extension tunnel to help validate end-to-end network setup and configuration.

2.7 GbE Optical and Copper Port Operation
The Brocade 7810 is configured with six ports that support GbE optical SFP+ transceivers and two ports that support
RJ-45 copper transceivers. Only six GbE ports can operate at one time, either all six optical ports or a mixture of two
RJ-45 copper ports and four optical ports. The GbE ports can be enabled in copper or optical mode using the extncfg
command as follows:
n
For copper mode, enter extncfg --ge-mode copper. In this mode, both copper RJ-45 ports, labeled 0-1 on the
switch front panel, and the last four optical ports (labelled 4-7), which are also compatible with the copper RJ-45 SFPs,
will operate. The first two optical ports, labeled 2-3 on the switch, will be disabled.
n
For optical mode, enter extncfg --ge-mode optical. In this mode, all optical ports will operate. These ports are
labeled 2-7 on the switch front panel. Both copper RJ-45 ports will be disabled.
Consider the following for copper and optical operating modes:
n
Switching between copper and optical operation is a nondisruptive operation. The switch does not require a reboot.
n
No configurations may be present on the GbE ports that are disabled for a specific mode. If a configuration exists on a
port that will be disabled, changing modes will be blocked, and the configuration must be deleted.
