Does anyone know whether or not there's any way to connect 100Mbps copper ethernet devices to the SFP+ ports after doing this? The problem I have is that several of the cheap 'smart' home products I have insist on putting stupid 100Mb ports in their devices, and with the transceivers I have...

I found out about it from the homelab subreddit :)

Awesome, thanks for the update!

I would, but I currently don't have any 10Gb links, sorry! My switch actually isn't even in dedicated operation yet lol. Too much money spent as of late so gotta save up a little bit haha :)

This is great news! Thanks for continuing to keep at it and for the update! I personally don't have any desire (at least rn) to go back, but in some ways a "1 way trip" is always at least a little disconcerting :)

It did!! Understand that I'm quite the noob at some of this stuff, so from an unfamiliarity standpoint alone I took the liberty of making a few notes as I went along on a few points where I just assumed some stuff. Feel free to add or update the guide if you feel like any of this stuff is...

Running 'md 0x100000 20' results in the following: 00100000: 4d554348 02057be5 0005a2d6 00004058 MUCH..{.......@X 00100010: 000 - Pastebin.com Running 'md 0xfff80000 20' the second time (after erasing and flashing the brocade BL) gives me this: fff80000: 4d554348 02057be5 0005a2d6 00004058...

Thanks for the quick reply! And I was somewhat figuring that, but it still caught me off guard lol. And sure thing, here ya go! fff80000: 27051956 552d426f 6f742032 3030392e '..VU-Boot 2009. fff80010: 303 - Pastebin.com

@fohdeesha Ok so I'm just getting a chance to walk through the tutorial, however right at the first step (where I run ' md 0xfff80000 20'), I get the following: fff80000: 27051956 552d426f 6f742032 3030392e '..VU-Boot 2009. fff80010: 30362028 41707220 31392032 30313120 06 (Apr 19 2011...

Yeah they're definitely brand new not even used. 100% worth the few extra bucks. Total for mine came to right at $300 shipped. Not bad at all.

LOL that's what I figured I just wanted to be sure :) I currently have zero 10G equipment (24x or otherwise) and so the last thing I would want would be to be the new owner of a very effective brick that just so happened to cost $300 :D

Sure, once they skyrocket on up to $600-$800 because of this method LOL :p jkjk Ok, good to know. It's obviously not the end of the world, but it would be nice haha. Also - any progress on the front of determining if it's possible to flash back to stock after flashing it to brocade? Or is...

Awesome! I honestly don't care that much about the lack of the 2nd management port, but having the LED's would be awesome! Fingers crossed!

New member here but anxiously awaiting this documentation! I don't have any 10Gb equipment yet but this is seriously looking like it might be a really good excuse to start lol!
