  • 4-slot chassis scales IP/MPLS aggregation capacity
  • Fifth-generation network processor drives terabit switch fabric
  • RoHS and WEEE certified for environmental compliance
  • Rack-mountable 17.5" × 22.5" form factor fits standard cabinets
  • 78 lb weight reflects high-density hardware integration

Core Routing Platform

The Brocade NetIron MLX-4-DC is a rack-mountable aggregation router built on a fifth-generation network-processor architecture. It provides four total expansion slots for line modules and includes a DC power supply in the package. The chassis delivers terabit-scale switch fabric capacity for IPv4, IPv6, MPLS and Multi-VRF workloads. Green compliance covers both RoHS and WEEE standards.

Deployment Fit

This appliance suits service-provider and enterprise core teams that need high-density IP/MPLS aggregation in a DC-powered rack mount. The 78 lb weight and 22.5-inch depth demand a sturdy cabinet and mechanical lift access. Buyers who require AC power input or a smaller footprint for space-constrained racks should look at other form factors.

Deciding Specification

The four-slot chassis capacity sets the maximum number of line cards you can install and therefore the total port density available. Confirm that your planned interface mix fits within four slots before committing to this model.
