Brocade ICX6450-48 ICX6450-48 Datacentre Switch

The Brocade ICX6450-48 is a genuine ICX 6450 Series stackable Ethernet switch, fitted with 48 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 2x1GbE SFP+ ports upgradable to 10GbE for uplink or stacking connectivity, giving a total switching capacity of 176 Gbit/s. Positioned as enterprise-class stackable switching at an entry-level price point, it was designed for small-to-medium enterprises, branch offices and distributed campus deployments needing a fully featured but affordable edge switch. The ICX 6450 supports a comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature set, including 802.1X network access control, Multi-Chassis Trunking (MCT) for resilient uplinks, OSPF and RIP routing protocols, and standard QoS, multicast and VLAN capabilities, with an 8,000-entry MAC address table and support for up to 4,096 VLANs. Its stacking capability lets multiple ICX 6450 units be joined and managed as a single logical switch, simplifying operations and increasing effective port density without adding management complexity, which suits growing campus or branch networks that need to scale incrementally. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies the ICX6450-48 for engineers deploying or expanding Brocade ICX 6450 stackable switch estates.
