do you just spend all day coming up with absurd ways to try and cause issues with equipment? leave it alone, its fineQuick question, the 6450-24P, if I pull the power, and then pop the plug back in, it doesn't fire up. I wait a few minutes and I hear a 'click' sound from the PSU region of the switch, and then I pop the power plug back in and it starts up. Is this some kind of feature or is this a sign of a failing PSU?
I think there is confusion surrounding tagging vs untagging a port. This all depends on the device you want to connect to (whether it be a switch, host, or something else like an ESXI vswitch). Typically you untag host ports and tag VLAN's on ports that will be used as trunks. Here are some sample Brocade switch and a Cisco switch configs I came up with to compare similiar outputs. Lets assume you want to configure a few VLAN's and do trunking (not LAG/LACP) to devices that require it. We will also change from the default NATIVE VLAN 1 to VLAN 10:Hello,
Long time lurker here, I finally got an ICX6610 thanks to @fohdeesha !
I got it from g-electronics on ebay, like some people here, and I've issues with the 40Gbps breakout ports. It does seem to be the exact same issue as @N1h1l1ty on page 50 of this topic, as I have those messages on console at boot:
It was working for one of my servers (ESXi) but I could not make a second port work, even from the other QSFP port. Tested with two cables (some Cisco generic on eBay and a Brocade one from FiberStore), same result. All firmwares (bootloader, firmware and PoE firmware) are up-to-date.Code:Parsing Config Data ... ------------------------------------------------------------------ M:9 L:0 - chow_qsfp_read, qsfp 3, error in seting up mux ------------------------------------------------------------------ M:9 L:0 - link_40G_4x10G_get_media: qsfp 3, port 1/2/7 error in reading qsfp chow_40G_4x10G_get_media: error in reading qsfp 1/2/7
Now with the exact same NIC (HP NC530SFP+) on an other server (FreeNAS), it doesn't work at all. It appears up on the interfaces brief, but goes down as soon as I tag it with a VLAN for some reason. It also goes up and down randomly without any vlan tagged (but traffic does not flows anyway, even when switch says it's up).
So I guess my QSFP module is broken ?
Honestly I don't think I'll ever need more than 8 SFP+ ports (all licensed, again thanks to @fohdeesha), but it's kind of a bummer to see it broken. I don't really want to send the switch back as everything is now cabled and I live in France, so shipping to USA would be really tedious.
Is the module replaceable easily ? Is there a way to purchase it alone for cheap ?
Or am I missing something obvious ?
Thanks a lot

I do not understand the context of your reply fohdeesha. It is the first time I've come across a switch that has this behaviour, whence raising the question if it is by design (feature) or a potential issue I should be concerned about.do you just spend all day coming up with absurd ways to try and cause issues with equipment? leave it alone, its fine

To be fair, yes I do spend a great amount of time getting to know my equipment, though power-cycling is not by choice, I was in the process of taking the switch from my desk to its permanent location in the rack and that is when I noticed this rather peculiar behaviour.

I took some measures to try and cool the system down until stuff arrived such as turning my AC up a couple notches, redirecting the AC room vent a little more towards the rack, and pulling out optics for unused ports. Also since the system was resting directly on top of my other switch, I pulled it out so the front half is sitting over air instead of conducting heat with another chassis (still waiting for my shelf to get here). Also I am not pushing that much traffic at this moment so the switch is somewhat idle.are you SURE the PSU fan isn't spinning? it can be hard to see. I ask because that's running cooler than my units with working fans
I have a 6450-24P and am very happy with the low noise and low power draw.Quick question....is the noise level on the 6610 that much louder than the 7250? I really like the lower power/heat on the 7250 but since I'm going to have to get another switch (see 4 posts up) would I be better off getting the 6610-24P over the 7250-24P? I basically need 24 ports POE and currently 5 SFP+. I would like to get a 2nd switch and stack them, more for redundancy than port count. I dont really have a need for QSFP since this is my home setup. I'm torn between the two (6610/7250) now that I have been looking at cost and availability to see where i can get a replacement for the one I'm returning to g-electronic as DOA. I'd like to keep the noise/heat down as much as possible, but whatever I get is replacing an LB6M along with 48 Port Cisco 3750-G POE switch.

I’ve only had it running for a week and I’m having to send it back due to a hardware issue (hazard of buying used), but for noise and power, I’m very happy. Enough so that I ordered another one from a different vendor that will be here by Friday. I needed close to 24 ports of POE with the IP cameras and Access points and I’m converting all of the PC’s/servers in the house to 10G with Connectx-2 cards. If all goes well with that one hardware wise, I plan on ordering another so that I have two for redundancy and a few spare 10G ports. So even with the hardware failure, I like it enough to get two. . In the weeks time the com closet is soooo much cooler and quieter (pulled out the LB6M and the 48Port POE 3750). If you do get one, the console cable is a must, as mentioned earlier in the thread. Again, Big Thanks! To @fodeesha for putting all the info out there on these.I have a 6450-24P and am very happy with the low noise and low power draw.
I need more ports and was looking at the 7250-48 or 7250-48P.
How is the power draw and noise on your 7250?
With three SFP transceiver included ? Did you bought it on ebay ?Pulled the trigger and bought a 6610-48P at a steal. This is over kill right now, but I am excited for future use.
Took a photo of it too!
