Product Identity

The Brocade BR-VDX6740-24-F is a managed desktop switch with 24 SFP primary ports. It runs on AC power at 120/230 V and 50/60 Hz. The unit provides 24 MB of buffer memory and supports jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes.

Suitable Environments

This switch suits networks that need fibre uplinks and Layer 2 management features such as VLAN, IGMP snooping and Spanning Tree Protocol. It is not for installations that require copper connectivity or Power over Ethernet.

Deciding Specification

The defining spec is the 24 SFP port count combined with managed operation. If your design calls for exactly two dozen fibre ports in a desktop form factor, this model matches; otherwise, a different port configuration is needed.

Questions about this item

What SFP transceivers do I need to populate the 24 SFP ports on the BR-VDX6740-24-F?

You must supply 24 compatible SFP modules — the switch ships with empty SFP cages and no transceivers included.

Can the BR-VDX6740-24-F interoperate with my existing 1 GbE switches over standard Ethernet links?

Yes, when fitted with 1 GbE SFP modules it will negotiate speed and duplex with legacy gear using standard Ethernet framing and flow control.

How can I verify the BR-VDX6740-24-F is forwarding traffic correctly after installation?

Check the management interface for link status, error counters and sFlow samples on each of the 24 ports to confirm line-rate forwarding.
