Compact Carrier Ethernet switch

The Brocade NetIron CES-2024C is a managed 1U rackmount switch built for service-provider edge and data-centre top-of-rack deployments. It runs Multi-Service IronWare and delivers Layer 3 IP routing with Provider Backbone Bridging in a single appliance.

Copper port speed ceiling

Primary ports operate at 10/100/1000Mbps, so aggregate copper throughput tops out at one gigabit per link. The 10 GbE capability noted by the manufacturer requires separate uplink modules not included in the base package.

Replaces standalone routers and L2 switches

Sites that currently run a separate router plus a basic Layer 2 switch can consolidate both functions here. The jump is worthwhile when deep buffers and Carrier Ethernet features such as PBB are needed at the network edge.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the CES-2024C or a larger model for my rack?

The CES-2024C is a 1U rackmount switch with 24 ports at 10/100/1000 Mbps and a 500W DC power supply. Select it when that port count and power input match your cabinet plan.

What does the 10/100/1000 Mbps port speed deliver in daily use?

Each port auto-negotiates to 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, so legacy 10 Mbps devices, Fast Ethernet gear and Gigabit servers all connect without manual configuration.

How does the DC power interface affect deployment?

The included 500W DC supply lets the switch run directly from a data-centre DC bus, removing the need for an AC circuit or external rectifier at the rack.
