Product Identity

The Brocade TurboIron 24X TI-24X-AC is a rackmount managed switch built for data centre aggregation. It delivers 24 XFP ports for 10 GbE uplinks and four RJ-45 ports for 10/100/1000 Mbps connectivity. A 32K MAC address table and Layer 2 switching handle 488 Gbps throughput with a 363 Mpps forwarding rate. The unit operates on 100 to 250 V AC power and includes console and management interfaces.

Target Audience

Network engineers deploying 10 GbE server farm aggregation or 1 GbE access switch uplinks will benefit from the high port density and managed feature set. Buyers who need Layer 3 routing, PoE support, or SFP+ direct attach cables cannot use this switch. Organisations requiring redundant power supplies or fan trays should also look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The switch provides 24 XFP module slots for 10 GbE fibre connectivity rather than fixed RJ-45 or SFP+ ports. This means transceivers must be sourced separately to match the installed fibre plant, and the XFP form factor limits future speed upgrades to 10 GbE maximum.

Questions about this item

Will the 4 RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T ports link with my existing Gigabit copper servers?

Yes, the four RJ-45 ports auto-negotiate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps so they connect directly to current Gigabit copper NICs without adapters.

How can I confirm the 24 XFP ports and 363 Mpps forwarding rate are active after installation?

Log in via SSHv2 or the DB-9 console, run the port-status and show-statistics commands, and verify each XFP reports link-up and the aggregate throughput matches the rated forwarding capacity.

Does the shipment include XFP transceivers for the 24 10 GbE ports or only the AC power cord?

The unit ships with the AC power cord, rack-mount brackets, DB-9 console cable and documentation; XFP transceivers for the 24 ports must be purchased separately.
