<br>
I never put it to the test, but these cards will probably just not function in a MLX at all. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 20 February 2014 12:10:34 CET, salman sadiq <salmanravian@gmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div dir="ltr"><div>Thank you for the information. You are right about the 8x10G cards requiring hSFM. In fact we already have hSFMs installed. For the 24x10G and 40G modules, will they simply not work in an MLX chassis? Or is the limitation coming from the chassis t'put? In case it is a t'put limitation we can calculate the right mix of 10G 24 port and 4/8 port LPs. Of course not all the 16 slots are going to contain 24x10G cards.<br />

You need a MLXe backplane to install some of the newer blades, amongst others the 24x10G, 40G and 100G linecards. <br />
<br />
Please note hSFM are already required to use 8x10G blades in a MLX chassis, you can only run gen1 cards such as the 4x10G blade with "old/regular" SFM. <br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On 20 February 2014 08:22:22 CET, salman sadiq <<a href="mailto:salmanravian@gmail.com" target="_blank">salmanravian@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear Team,<br /></div> We have 2 Brocade MLX-16s at the distribution layer of our DC connecting to FCX as TOR switches. We were thinking to upgrade the DC capacity where the servers connect to 10G links instead of current 1G. Thus replace the FCXs with something newer that is 10G capable, may be a VDX. However, on the MLX we only have 8x10G and 4x10G cards. I was thinking if these can be replaced with 24x10G cards without an issue. Do we need to upgrade the SFMs to HSF to achieve this? And also, is there a possibility of having 2x40G LP on the MLX-16? Please note that we have MLX-16s not MLX-e routers.<br />
