    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I had same thoughts :confused: Somebody suggested the problem might be related to that switches were stacked before I got them and this one still expecting another switch to tell him what to do but I doubt it. I tried to went into base OS to eventually see something extra and succeeded but...

    Brocade VDX 6740

    I can't agree with that :) Based on our experience this is the most fastidious switch...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Hello, I found some ICX7750 and thinking about to buy some...

Are they SFP capricious ? As I know ICX does not...

    Hello, At this moment I use 2x HP servers, DL360p G8 and DL380 G9, both with HP 649283-B21 40G NICs... They work fine as ethernet adapters on pfSense without flashing etc... But now I need some decent PCI-e x16 100G NICs for another servers which ill use at 40G (no 100G switch) but I hope to...

    I am not so sure you can do anything if switch has no license... I suggest just to look for switch with licenses...
