Got the Edge-Core 7512-32X 100GBE but I cant seem to get it to work.. if i connect the console cable I get a kinds of garbled output. I am using a std cicso rj45 console cable to a serial2usb convertor and then to t he pc. but i get bad output. any ideas... - no link on the switch. - so i guess I need to recover it and get it to install ONIE / SONIC on it. but before i get that far any body has the pinouts for this swtich. ?Thanks for the above info Rand.. appreciate how you are trying to help me out.
This is a old switch, and the seller went offline after a few days and is not replying and my period of returns is out too so a bad buy i guess.
Happens at times when you order of ebay.
but since there is no reply on the console port and no link what so ever i am just almost giving up on this.
Getting a EDGE-CORE 7512-32X 100GBE - hopefully it should work with the cards i have in VMWare. that's about all I need -- Throughput . I dont need any of the advanced management functions of the switch .
Yes the board rate i set was 115200, and i did try out different options....are you sure you have the baud rate and flow control settings correct?
If you checked the datasheet you can find out it's using a Cavium switching chip, so ofdpa will not work as it's for broadcom chips.Ok, The Edgecore is a bad buy, Stay away from it. its dead cheap but not supported anymore, so its a waste of money again as I could not get it working... anybody having any experience with getting Edgecore 7512X working. ONL is not supporting it any more -- any info on Sonic ?
