Why is the fiber stuff so complicated?

Yes, I am happy with Firewalla. Kids are on their own vlan, they are also in a group. Once you set the restrictions for the group in terms of applications, the box does the rest. If you want, you get alerts on what they are doing on categories like gaming, social media, etc, but I no longer need...

I tried limiting access with pfsense, but it required a lot of time and there would always be a game using something different, so I was not successful. I am using firewalla purple, and I am quite happy with its reporting and restrictions when needed.

Which UPS do you use for models with POE? I tried APC 1500G and Vertiv PSA5 to power ICX7450-24P with no luck. These are 900W units as far as I know. I have three Omada POE APs connected to the switch. I measure 65 W at the wall and also on the UPS, both ups power on, but whenever I disconnect...

Would a ICX7650-4X10GF Expansion Module work on a ICX7450?

Thank you for the detailed explanation, all clear now.

Sorry for my incorrect use of the terminology which is causing the confusion. I was wondering if I can use just 2 Kaiam Lite transceivers, or would I need to use 8 to stack two 7450s. These transceivers are cheaper than Bidi modules, and if I can do this with just 2, this will be the ultimate...

Thank you @fohdeesha. When I use a 4x10 gb module as stacking port at the back, can I just have one sfp port for stacking, or would it need to utilise all 4 sfp ports?

Thank you.

I have 5 runs of OM4 LC/LC fiber between these two locations. Those were for 5 servers connected to one of the 7450s which was the previous set-up. I had. I wish there could be a way to repurpose those pre-terminated lc/lc cables to stack the 7450s

I am trying to stack two 7450's that are 70 feet apart. What is the cheapest way of doing this? Any suggestions?

I have them both. My 6610 was manufactured in 2012 and 7450 was manufactured in 2018. While I don't know how long these switches can operate, I would consider 7450 being a newer unit. Noise is the same on both units and they both have the a version of the psu.

Is there any way to find out the manifacturing date of an ICX7450 by running a cli command or opening the case?

Thank you, much appreciated!

I now have a similar set-up, the problem is lack my linux knowledge. Plotters don’t have any secondary storage, so I want to mount the plotters to a permanent share on the harvester where the completed plots will be saved. Is there any linux gui tool that can help you set up permanent shares and...

I have the non-poe version of 6610 with Rev A. It is running fine with an APC BX1500M, which is not sine wave. Am I doing something bad to the switch or the UPS?

I have a similar setup with 6610, but having a tough time finding cheap and quiet sfp+ switches for the endpoints. What did you end up using for those?

Happy New Year to all!

Thank you for looking into this. The other components around it looks good, no discoloration.

Hi, I just got a Mellanox ConnectX-3 QDR. I see that the outside surface of one of the components that says 2R2 is rough compared to the other. I am sure these cards have been around for some time, it is working fine but could this be a concern for its remaining useful life?
