h0tw1r3, how are things going with your switch? I'm beginning to find out that the command set for this switch is significantly different than the Quanta LB4M. In fact, the command reference for the Netgear 7000 series switches seems to line up best so far:

I'm having a couple of issues that are preventing me from getting this thing running how I want. First, I'm having a problem enabling the management GUI. Even with the following configuration output, I'm getting a 404 not found error when trying to access the switch from a web browser:
Code:
(FASTPATH Routing) #show ip http
HTTP Mode (Unsecure)........................... Enabled
Java Mode...................................... Enabled
Maximum Allowable HTTP Sessions................ 16
HTTP Session Hard Timeout...................... 24 hours
HTTP Session Soft Timeout...................... 5 minutes
HTTP Mode (Secure)............................. Disabled
Secure Port.................................... 443
Secure Protocol Level(s)....................... TLS1 SSL3
Maximum Allowable HTTPS Sessions............... 16
HTTPS Session Hard Timeout..................... 24 hours
HTTPS Session Soft Timeout..................... 5 minutes
Certificate Present............................ False
Certificate Generation In Progress............. False
If I had to guess, it's enabled, but there's nothing to serve (meaning the actual web code is not installed on the switch).
Second (and the real show stopper), I can't get Layer 2 communication working properly on the SFP+ ports. Hardware-wise, I'm using Finisar FTLX8571D3BCL transceivers on the switch side and Brocade 57-0000075-01 transceivers with the Brocade 1020 CNA cards on the ESXi nodes. I have physical link, but I'm not seeing either of the Brocade 1020's MAC addresses being added to the switch's MAC address table for the specific ports that I'm trying to work with (0/49 and 0/51):
Code:

I tried all kinds of different virtual switch options in VMWare with the simplest being a traditional vSwitch that's completely open to VM network traffic:
Bare metal host 1 (10.0.1.22):
Bare metal host2 (10.0.1.24):
Here's the relevant switch config:
Code:
interface 0/49
no auto-negotiate
mtu 9000
vlan pvid 100
vlan acceptframe vlanonly
vlan participation include 100
vlan tagging 100
exit
interface 0/51
no auto-negotiate
mtu 9000
vlan pvid 100
vlan acceptframe vlanonly
vlan participation include 100
vlan tagging 100
If I have the switch configured correctly, any traffic on the two interfaces should be tagged with VLAN 100 (which allows me to eventually pass it across a trunk). Both the vSwitch and the NIC on each host are configured with an MTU of 9000, so there's no issue with that. Pinging from both VMs (Ubuntu Test 1 and 2) does not work. I know this setup works perfectly between the Brocade 1020 CNAs because I get full network connectivity and can ping between the two VMs when connecting the two CNAs together with a fiber cable. Also, pulling out all of the VLAN tagging on the ports also results in no communication.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I just screwed up the switch config and it's not a hardware issue.
