Brocade ICX 6610 Series Stackable Switch with FastIron 7.3.00c Firmware

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2035 · Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-21

Brocade ICX 6610 Series Stackable Switch with FastIron 7.3.00c Firmware, from Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2035 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode with tamper evident seals and opacity baffles installed as indicated in the Security Policy

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Brocade ICX 6610 delivers wire-speed, non-blocking performance across all ports to support latency-sensitive applications such as real-time voice and video streaming and VDI. Brocade ICX 6610 Switches can be stacked to provide an unprecedented 320 Gbps of backplane stacking bandwidth. Additionally, each switch can provide up to eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports.
