Desktop 24-port managed switch

The Brocade VDX 6740 is a desktop-format network switch with 24 RJ45 ports and full Layer 2 management. It provides 9216 byte jumbo frame support and a 24 MB buffer for handling burst traffic in virtualised environments. Features include VLAN, IGMP snooping, IPv6, Spanning Tree protocols and sFlow monitoring.

Suited for managed LANs needing copper density

This unit fits administrators who require a managed, copper-only access switch with high-availability features and firmware upgrade capability. It is not for buyers who need fibre uplinks, PoE power delivery, or a rackmount form factor with front-to-rear airflow.

24 RJ45 copper ports decide the fit

The primary specification is the 24 x RJ45 port array, which limits connectivity to twisted-pair copper cabling. If the installation requires SFP or SFP+ fibre links, this model cannot serve that role.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 24-port VDX 6740 draw from a standard AC circuit when running continuously?

The unit operates on AC 120/230 V at 50/60 Hz, so it plugs directly into ordinary mains power without special circuits.

What cabling and network infrastructure are required to use all 24 RJ45 ports on this switch?

Each of the 24 ports uses standard RJ45 copper cabling; the switch also supports jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes for high-throughput links.

Will the VDX 6740 interoperate with existing switches that rely on Spanning Tree or Rapid Spanning Tree protocols?

Yes, it supports both Spanning Tree Protocol and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, allowing it to integrate into legacy Layer 2 topologies without loops.
