And not to mention there is zero reason or benefit even if they could with only a single provider as @hereforthecomeups911 you have no subnet or routes to advertise back to your ISP anyways. Would just add complexities and overhead.

Question: how would I go about reinstalling secondary and primary images of a 6610? Just purchased a unit that came with none installed, is it a goner?
I believe the guides linked on page 1 cover loading pri/sec via the bootloader and TFTP.
Hello,
Just got a pair of 6650s, did the firmware upgrade using the guide (bootloader prompt and tftp). Everything seem to be fine except after the switches boot from the factory reset I get a "TFTP session timed out" message at the prompt every 30 seconds or so. I did try to clear the serverip (setenv serverip) but it made no difference... Looks like it is still trying to communicate with the TFTP server. Any ideas why? Thank you!

No, that is expected and noted in the guide
Code:
Now we turn off the DHCP client, so it doesn't automatically grab an IP and look for a TFTP config (the cause of the earlier timeout messages):
ip dhcp-client disableDecided to join the forum since I was doing some research on switches and ran across this thread.
I picked up a 6610-48p this week and got it all setup and thanks to this thread only took me about an hour to get all setup and working.
I am coming from a few different Mikrotik Switches and I got accustomed to them and using DHCP server leases that way I could make sure the devices that I wanted to have a specific IP when dhcp was enabled on those machines then they would get the IP I set in the Mikrotik.
Is there a way to do that in the Brocade setup? I went into the ARP and set the mac addresses/IP's for the devices and that seems to work but I am sure there is a better way.
Just want to say thanks for all this information and guides like these are a lifesaver.

Ruckus has a boatload of PDFs available, you'll just need to create an account on their support site. I don't have my collection handy or I'd attempt to figure out which one has the most dhcpd setup information.
A question of my own: The railkits if you can find them seem rather expensive. Does anyone happen to know of any substitutes that don't involve drilling holes? I'm not yet at the "physical mod" phase yet

updated the guide to the latest stable 8095 firmware train, 8095k. added a lil message in the zip (no, it's not me in the video). it's been fun yall good luck!

A well-deserved "retirement." Due to his natural tendancy to help I'm sure he'll drop in once in a while.
Hah I realize the guide isn't, but you're the resource I am referring to. We greatly appreciate all of your hard work.
I'm still in absolute shock this late night idea of a thread reached 400+ pages and more than two million views. Wild. Glad people got some use out of it and dare I say maybe even lead a few people into learning more about networking
Could you possibly answer a last, final question?
Is it possible to use the 4x10G QSFP ports on the rear of the ICX6610 for stacking and the 40G ports for data?
Many people have tried, including me, but failed. It only seems to work the other way round, i.e. 40G for stacking and 4x10G for data or all of them for stacking.
Maybe you know how, or at least know that it's definitely not possible.
I think you know the answer. This certainly isn't a new question/request here and if there was a working solution, it would have likely been found already.
