Description  
IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to help address the needs of data  
centers and large enterprises where high-density Ethernet switches are needed. IBM  
Ethernet r-series switches include the four slot IBM Ethernet Switch B04R (4003-  
R04), eight slot IBM Ethernet Switch B08R (4003-R08), sixteen slot IBM Ethernet  
Switch B16R (4003-R16), and thirty-two slot IBM Ethernet Switch B32R (4003-R32)  
models. These switches offer high port capacity and density, based on the number of  
available slots, with up to 512 10-Gigabit Ethernet or 1536 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports  
in a single 32-slot chassis.  
The IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed for nonstop operation, supporting  
1:1 management module redundancy, N+1 switch module redundancy, M+N power  
module redundancy, and N+1 fan redundancy. Each of these hardware components  
are hot-swappable, reducing service downtime. This hardware resiliency is designed  
to be enhanced with software resiliency including system failover, restart, MRP,  
VSRP, and VRRP for Layer 2 and Layer 3 resiliency.  
Systems configured with dual management modules have subsection detection and  
failover. Hitless Management Failover (HMF) ensures that the forwarding engines on  
the line modules are not impacted by a management failover, and enables nonstop  
packet forwarding during a management failover. With hitless Layer 2 software  
upgrades and graceful restart routing, fast convergence occurs in the event of a  
management module failure.  
The IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to help network planners deploy  
an Ethernet infrastructure that addresses today's requirements with a scalable  
architecture designed to support network growth and evolution. The switches  
incorporate the latest advances in switch architecture, system resilience, quality of  
service (QoS) and switch security in a family of modular chassis settings.  
The switch architecture is an adaptive self-routing Clos switch fabric with a virtual  
output queue (VOQ) design. This nonblocking architecture is optimized for maximum  
throughput and low latency for all size packets. This scalable design can help with  
the reliable delivery of all IP-based voice, video, and data applications.  
The switches ship with the Brocade IronWare software, embedded sFlow per  
port, advanced IPv4/IPv6 Ethernet Layer 2 switching, IPv4/IPv6 L3 routing, and  
multilayer security services.  
The IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to support industry-leading  
Layer 2 features. To provide self-healing topologies in Layer 2 configurations, the  
switches support industry standard Ethernet protocols including Spanning Tree

Hardware Announcement ZG09-0629  
 
 
Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), per VLAN STP (PVST), per VLAN group  
STP (PVGST), and Multi-instance Spanning Tree (MSTP). The switches can also  
support Brocade Metro Ring Protocol (MRP) for sub-second service restoration in  
ring topologies, Virtual Switch Redundancy Protocol (VSRP) for redundant switch  
configurations, VLAN topology grouping, and VLAN tunneling for advanced Layer 2  
service configurations.  
The IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to support Layer 3 feature set  
for scalable Exterior Gateway and Interior Gateway Protocols (EGP and IGP). The  
switches can support a wide array of IPv4 routing protocols including RIPv1/v2,  
OSPFv2, BGP-4, and IS-IS. To future-proof the network, support for IPv6 routing  
protocols include RIPng, OSPFv3, and BGP-4+.  
A scalable, resilient network can be built using IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation for  
up to eight links. BPDU Guard and Root Guard support prevent rogue hijacking of  
the spanning tree root and maintain a contention-free and loop-free environment,  
especially during dynamic network deployments. Additionally, IP SouceGuard can be  
configured to prevent IP source address spoofing.  
With Brocade Direct Routing (BDR), the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) is  
downloaded to the hardware-based forwarding engine on each line module. Policy  
Based Routing (PBR) allows customizable routing policies using ACLs. This feature  
can be used to balance network usage by controlling the network paths for different  
traffic flows.  
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and VRRPE enable the switches to  
operate as a backup router to other network routers. In the event of a router failure,  
the switch can automatically and seamlessly perform the task of the failed router.  
The IBM Ethernet r-series switches can help to meet the growing use of streaming  
video and voice in a converged network by providing hardware-based support for  
a number of multicast protocols including MSDP, PIM-SM, and PIM-DM. This allows  
network managers to efficiently deploy next generation multicast applications.  
Network administrators can enforce QoS policies based on port, VLAN, source MAC,  
ACL rules, IEEE 802.1p priority, Type of Service (ToS), DiffServe settings, or Rate  
Limiting status. The wide variety of methods supported can help administrators to  
granularly tune traffic according to their needs, such as strict priority for Voice over  
IP, video, and high-performance computing applications.  
Combinations of Strict Priority (SP) and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) can provide  
flexibility for network administrators. In the event of egress port congestion, traffic  
policies can be configured for tail drop or weighted random early detection (WRED)  
operation.  
Advanced bandwidth management can allow intelligent bandwidth management  
using hardware based enforcement of Committed Information Rate (CIR) with  
Excess Burst control capabilities and seamless integration with other QoS features.  
Wire-speed Access Control Lists (ACL) is designed to control packet forwarding  
and restrict access to the system management interface, while providing wire-  
speed switching and routing. An extensible ACL implementation for Layer 3 and  
Layer 4 information identifies traffic based on source or destination IP address,  
IP protocol type, TCP or UDP port, IP precedence, or ToS values. Flexible Layer  
2 implementation identifies traffic based on source or destination MAC address,  
Ethernet type, VLAN-ID values, and 802.1p values.  
High priority voice and data traffic flow through the chassis utilizing the high  
performance hardware-based QoS features of the switches. Wire-speed security  
can be maintained by locking out unauthorized users with port security, by filtering  
DoS and unauthorized traffic with ACLs, and by monitoring traffic flows with sFlow.  
The switches can allow you to grow from just 24 ports of 10/100/ 1000 at the edge  
and up to 1,536 ports of 10/100/ 1000 or 512 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet in the  
core. A common architecture across the entire series can meet the demands of  
enterprise network needs while incorporating resiliency, security, and scalability in

intended for Outside Plant installations (OSP). The models can be mounted in a 19-  
inch Electronic Industries Association (EIA310-D), two-post Telco rack using front  
mounting brackets and mounting kit provided.  
It is recommended that the IBM Ethernet Switch B32R be installed in environments  
that have minimal dust and airborne contaminants. If this switch is used in  
environments where dust or other airborne contaminants may be prevalent, air  
filters should be inspected annually and replaced if needed. Maintaining clean air  
filters ensures optimal airflow through the machine. Replacement of filters is a  
customer responsibility. These are not covered under the machine warranty or  
maintenance agreements. Replacement air filter (part number 45W5381) can be  
purchased at

Limitations  
Notice: Government regulations (such as those prescribed by OSHA or European  
Community Directives) may govern noise level exposure in the workplace and  
may apply to you and your system installation. The actual sound pressure levels  
in your installation depend upon a variety of factors, including the number of racks  
in the installation; the size, materials, and configuration of the room; the noise  
levels from other equipment; the room ambient temperature, and employees'  
location in relation to the equipment. Further, compliance with such government  
regulations also depends upon a variety of additional factors, including the duration  
of employees' exposure and whether employees wear hearing protection. IBM  
recommends that you consult with qualified experts in this field to determine  
whether you are in compliance with the applicable regulations.
