Thanks again, still getting an error though. I run these commands on unit 1, correct?
telnet@ICX6610-1#conf t
telnet@ICX6610-1(config)#stack unit 1
telnet@ICX6610-1(config-unit-1)#stack-trunk 1/2/6 to 2/2/7
Error! 2/2/7 is not in unit 1.
telnet@ICX6610-1(config-unit-1)#
I actually have read his instructions and followed them to update my 6610, so I am definitely thankful for that. I did establish a serial connection to configure it. For example, I was having a PoE issue where a device was not being powered. I didn't realize that apparently after the firmware...
Thanks, but that really didn't answer all of my questions...
What are the various licenses and how do I differentiate between them?
Do the SFP ports on the front and rear conflict with one another? i.e. does copper port 1 become inactive if X1 is used?
Do the front and rear interfaces come up...
Hey everyone!
Just got my 6610 into my rack and have things mostly reconnected. I followed the update guide and things went well. I have a few newbish questions:
1. How do I find out what license(s) this device has, and how do I upgrade if the front ports are not enabled?
2. On the front SFP...
As far as a breakout cable goes to connect my ESXI and pfSense boxes (each one has 2 SFP ports), would this work?

I found this one as well. I assume...
Remember there is a big difference between device 49 and device 96. I just maxed out my old 48 port switch, and need just a few more ports, particularly PoE. I didn't see the value in buying a 24 port switch as a second unit - just to be safe.
So if I were to buy a total of 4 fiber...
Thank you, that does help. In terms of how to physically achieve that, what hardware and cables would I use? How do you prefer to make your rack device connections? I am leaning towards using two of the 40 ports to stack so I maximize future 10gbps for devices in the future. I think 80 is plenty...
So to further qualify my original question on connectivity, what should I be using between the rack devices to maximize throughput in a cost-effective manner? If it is reasonably affordable, I would like max speed (40?) between the two 6610s in particular. Then I have my ESXI host and my...
It is two for the number of ports required throughout the house, not just the rack. I subscribe to the belief that WiFi is for convenience, and for devices without ethernet. If a piece of gear has an RJ-45, it is getting a wire. I just eclipsed the capacity of my first switch with all of the...
Does anyone have a link to a reseller who offers the AC version of the PSUs for the 6610 so I can put redundant in and also maybe have a cold spare or two? Does the Rev B/C apply to the chassis of the 6610 itself, or does the revision apply to the individual PSUs? Thanks!
Thank you for the follow up. If you were in my shoes, and had all of your gear in a single rack, would you still use one of the breakout cables such as the one you linked? I have a whitebox pfSense firewall that has two SFP ports, and then I have a second (almost identical) whitebox (both are...
Thanks for the link, unfortunately it is out of stock. What does your connectivity between your firewall/router and your first 6610? What cables/modules? How do you plan to link the switches?
Just ordered my first 6610 to replace my home lab switch. I will probably be buying a second one soon after I get this first one configured. What is the preferred method (transceivers and cable parts) to link these? I also have a custom pfSense (Supermicro E300) box I just built that has SFP...
