and some of us keep wondering who is buying all of them up! Cheeky bugger!I bought 5 off ebay
What seller did you get your 6650 from? I bought 5 off ebay, 2 of the 5 came damaged and had broken ports.
3 of them were packed nice, 2 of them were packed pretty crappy, makes me scratch my head.
A wise man never ignores a real bargain starring right in his face, well done Churchill!
I bought from them as well...hopefully they pack yours better then they did mine.G-Electronic: Brocade ICX6650 56-Port 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet Top-of-Rack Switch 42111395699 | eBay
Took $250 in make an offer. Whom did you buy yours from?
That is the nightmare with ebay... I always do my best to keep my bridges solid across the board, I tend to source more important items directly from businesses... fleabay is great for nics and cables though.I bought from them as well...hopefully they pack yours better then they did mine.
I almost posted a picture of my bleeding finger, but thought better of itThat's what you call no pain no gain, some may say it cant be resold, personally I think it has gone up in value
They're only 1gbit SFPs and haven't had a chance to test them yet, but they are recognized on the switch and don't throw the ports into an error state.@Lambdariver are those 10GBT gbics? IF so which ones and how good are they working? Did you get any 1GB gbics as well? Same question
We get by with what is sensible... the best way is to never allow yourself to be pressured into getting everything done overnight... walk away from it for a couple of days and you'll be better for it. You have the foundation, that's what matters.I have too much infrastructure already built to swap out to all mellanox. Will have to bite the bullet and buy one to see if those cables work.
Bought a dozen Brocade 57-1000042-02 just to get me going.
Dunno. the blue paint job looks pretty cool. Really cool overall actually! Harkens back to the day when google and symantec painted their chassis' yellow. did you connect these fans to the interior sensors? Mine's in the basement so I honestly don't care. I have to say though add a le mans racing strip and you're all set! nice job!Almost done with my fan mod for the ICX6650. Might not win any beauty pageants, but she's so much quieter now.

LOL... I thought for a sec you were going to flesh out the upgrade path to a "put it on 22s, and throw in an rgb strip while you're at it"....I have to say though add a le mans racing strip and you're all set! nice job!
