Brocade NetIron CER and CES Routers and Switches - Refurbished, Used, New
This collection carries Brocade NetIron CER 2000 Series carrier Ethernet routers, NetIron CES 2000 Series carrier Ethernet switches, and the 10GbE uplink modules for both, in new and refurbished or used condition. Refurbished and used units are tested before they ship. All of these models are compact 1RU units with internal AC or DC power, and Brocade lists 1+1 power supply redundancy.
CER or CES: which do I need?
Brocade positions the CER 2000 as a compact 1RU IP/MPLS router, and the CES 2000 as a carrier Ethernet switch for Metro Ethernet services. The two series share the same port layouts, so the choice comes down to whether the site needs a router or a switch rather than port count. The routing and service features on a given unit depend on the software it runs, so check the listing.
Reading the model numbers
In both series, "C" models have 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports and "F" models have 100/1000 hybrid fiber SFP ports. The 24-port C and F models add 4 combo ports and an open slot for an optional 2x 10GbE XFP module. The 48-port CX and FX models have two 10GbE XFP ports built in, and the 48-port C and F models have no 10GbE option. The -4X models have four built-in 10GbE SFP+ uplinks.

This page also carries the NI-CES-2024-2x10G, the 2x 10GbE XFP uplink module that Brocade lists for the 24-port CES 2000 switches, in both AC and DC models.
Can a CER uplink module go in a CES switch?
Brocade lists them as separate parts: NI-CER-2024-2X10G for 24-port CER routers and NI-CES-2024-2x10G for 24-port CES switches. Order the module that matches your chassis.
Can I add 10GbE to a 48-port model?
Not with a module. Brocade lists the uplink module for 24-port models only. If you need 10GbE on 48 ports, choose a CX or FX model with the XFP ports built in.
