Brocade(R) MLXe(R) NetIron(R) Ethernet Routers
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. - FIPS 140 #2533
Brocade MLXe Series routers feature industry-leading 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), 10 GbE, and 1 GbE wire-speed density; rich IPv4, IPv6, Multi-VRF, MPLS, and Carrier Ethernet capabilities without compromising performance; and advanced Layer 2 switching. This release introduces a new interface card BR-MLX-10GX4-IPSEC-M, which has built-in capability to negotiate IKEv2 sessions and establish IPSec tunnels to allow Virtual Private Networks to be created within the network. In addition, BR-MLX-10GX4-IPSEC-M has PHY level support for MACSec protocol.
