In the guide it says "By default, all ports are in VLAN 1" for the ICX 6450 does that include the 4SPF+ ports? I have an "Cable Matters 1000BASE-T Gigabit SFP to RJ45 Copper Ethernet Modular Transceiver" but doesn't work(ve interface 1 IP doesn't ping). Using any of the ethernet ports direct works (Cat 7 Ethernet Cable High-Speed Flat Gigabit RJ45 LAN)

If not how can I add them?
Did you follow through the initial config that created a VLAN and gave it an IP Address etc ?

Did you take away the stacking config for the SFP+ ports and then follow the licenscing to ensure they were then enabled as SFP+ standard use ports ?

This is what i have ended up with after following the config and have confirmed that one of the SFP+ ports work when attached to an Intel DAC

Hey Guys,

New to Ruckus/Brocade - obviously pretty close to Cisco CLI that i have been working with nearly forever - has anyone got a good site that they could refer me to with

1) Basic differences
2) A good cheat sheet for all the basic commands to get L3 VLAN trunks and ESXI servers running ?

As noted above, you almost certainly need to set the speed of the SFP+ port to 1G instead of the 10G default. Have you given that a try?

Also, while you're bringing up the box you should consider upgrading to 08.0.95<current>, since you're on 08.0.30 now.

It’s a 6450; IIRC the 6000 family can only go to 8.0.30

Does anyone know whether there will be a 4X25GF module? There is a 4x10GF (4x 10G SFP+) and 1x100GQ (1x 100G QSFP28), but no 4x25G SFP module... The 4x25G module would make the ICX 7650-24ZP perfect for my application

(I know, chances are low - but maybe anybody has heard anything? If not, I will contact Ruckus)

I am not seeing a stack disable command in your dump ? This would mean the ports still think they are in stacking rather than port mode

(I am only new to all of this Brocade as of last week - so am just surmising)

Follow the guide linked in the first post to reflash the primary partition and the boot sector from inside the uBoot environment.

If that fails, you most likely have a hardware issue of some sort. I had a 7150 with wonky flash and I had to use the NAND clean and scrub commands to get it to properly load an image.

Well you know it is better for him to make a video with that title as that will get more clicks, and he can make a part 2 later on that he fixed it. Not defending him but just thinking about the youtube/adsense mindset. And he can thank his fans to send him to this thread.

surely you realized this would be a train wreck before he even racked the switch?

The words, enterprise and "plug and play" in the same sentence?

Big negative points for using a D'k tahg as a box opener too - that's just - just plan wrong.

listening to his jibber jabber flim flam hurt my brain.

so much bad content in that video.

Any idea about my ICX6450-24P issue (35W in IDLE instead of 25)?

Are there different revs? Can it be due to aging of components in the PSU?
