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

    Rebooted switch, Swapped Transceivers, verified that it's in NIC mode not IB mode. Using SMF, Verified that all the stacking info is cleared. I have to be missing something... Edit: Plugged 2 transceivers into the 2 40gb ports and looped them and the ports came up. Problem is at the NIC...

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

    On the 6610 I had the same issue. It doesn't do anything with IP's and DHCP other than the management until you setup a VE for the vlan. conf t vlan 50 tagged e 1/1/2 router-interface ve 50 int ve 50 The above commands enter config, goto vlan 50, setup a virtual ethernet device of 50, and...

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

    I was speaking to an Engineer where I work and he thinks my issue is actually my fiber. the transceivers are SMF and all i have is multimode om2/3. I have some Single Mode fiber on order and will be here tomorrow. will do further investigation on the card if that doesn't pan out.

    On full up servers yes you can assign the ilo to be shared with another nic but it doesn't make the ilo port avail to OS and on these you can't even do that. I could use a trick with managed switch and vlans but that is too much effort

    Not sure but keep it with it, i just haven't see the NIC for less than like $250 and i only paid like 140 for my ec200a's. The nic would just let me turn 1 of them into a pfsense box cause i need 3 nics and those only have 2. wasn't trying to get you to sell the nic just pointing out they are...

    what do you mean by " front drive bay power supply is damaged " on the R720? is it the power cable/connector or the backplane that is damaged? And what kinda deal are we talking for the r720, all the processors, a 099GTM and 2 SAS9201-16e
