    Brocade VDX 6740

    at least switch doesn`t have additional licenses. default config disables ports (config, interface TenGigabyte.. 1/0/1-48, switchport) (config, dpod 1/0/1 reserve) VDX6740 SFP+ model have basic 24 active ports 10G, and no one 40G. show dpod. but it`s solvable. (pm only)

    you can! logical chassis do nothing for you. "Network OS 7.1 supports logical chassis cluster (LC) mode only" in own cases have a lot of customers with only one switch per rack, of course with last firmware release.

    Brocade VDX 6740

    reset factory can`t help you if firmware upgrade process isn`t ended. only netinstall will format CF-card and copy new filesystem of provided version. "show firmwaredownloadstatus" confirm that previous update finished? "show version" in case of Logical chassis will show 2 partitions. in case...

    Brocade VDX 6740

    There is no problem to use Logic Chassis as "normal" switch: you don`t pay for it by performance. especially when this is the Only one variant (since 7 release if I remember). of course you can try to use netinstall flash to make clean install any version of NOS (don`t forget to save license keys)

    Mellanox SX6036 Updating MLNX-OS and Gateway License Question

    there was no demands in request - I supposed you connect devices within 5m. this is DAC, not cable. MPO(MPI) cable + transceiver costs a lot. if you really need distance more them 50m.

    Mellanox SX6036 Updating MLNX-OS and Gateway License Question

    for 56Gb speed you need: -original QSFP+ Mellanox equipment (cards, switche, cables. only Mellanox offered FDR14 encoding) -change speed on port from 40Gb to 56Gb (for safety, switch won`t do it itself)

    Mellanox SX6036 Updating MLNX-OS and Gateway License Question

    I had installed about hundred of these switches without problem. Maybe you too hurry: switch has some notes: 1.it`s slow (especially in compare with sn2700). to up IB connection need 3 minutes, for ethernet less (if I remember). 2.there is no light if connection is not up. 3.if you use...

    mellanox connectx-3 windows 10 issue

    Model is written on card. IF ONLY this is VPI model (MCX354) in "System Devices" there is "......Mellanox...mt4099......" when you can change settings: auto (default IB, Ethernet, IB). but maybe this is only ethenet MCX314 model. is 7122f SFP+ model? then how did you connect it to QSFP port...

    Mellanox SX6036 Updating MLNX-OS and Gateway License Question

    Yes, you need install a license to get variant not only "ib-single" mode, but also "vpi-single-switch" or "ethernet" in System Profile view. VPI is when you select IB or Eth type for Each port.

    Need latest Brocade 8000 switch firmware/bios

    you can make printscrn or copy text output of "showlicense" if you want. this will need IF only you want to replace CF-card (if it dead). GUI BNA 12.2 trial can be downloaded from ICX Ruckus site. Won`t help with cookbook. maybe exists good youtube plays, or even Brocade classes records.

    Brocade VDX 6740

    understood. never had such issue with 7.2 and 7.4. probably less then full NOS upgrade cause it just write small peace of code to "asic". and full switch reload.
