I think @fohdeesha meant to create a VLAN without adding a VE to it and then adding an IP address to the port. i.e. it is a member of a L2 VLAN and you give it an IP address. Craig

Post up your config maybe - but as long as you have the inline power options you should be good. I was reading the manual the other day looking for something and i saw there are different styles of POE that can be enabled - is this an old camera ? May be worth reading up on those and also how...

OK more updates on my attempts to get these switches working reliably with Intel 10Gb adapters and ESXi So i have a new testbed setup 2 x 6450 standard setup as per fohdeesha's docs - all licensing done etc. Lets call them switch 1 and switch 2 I have connected the two 6450 via the 1/2/1...

No there is no default IP applied to the port until you do so through the console cable I am not aware of anyway to (programmatically) disable the ports - someone may have damaged them but seems unlikely - more often than not it is a faulty cable/port on the computer end - personally for $10 or...

I thought i might try and add to the knowledgepool so tried fodeeshas debug using the serial console - linked here https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/brocade-icx-series-cheap-powerful-10gbe-40gbe-switching.21107/post-198322 But i got an error on i2c read - when doing this on a...

Just as a follow up to this - i have used the same Intel Coded fibre cable now between a 6610 1/3/x port and an Intel Dual port 82599 card in a linux box and it will not come up at 10GB either On the 6610 it shows Type ? for a list SSH@6610-Basement#show media e 1/3/5 Port 1/3/5: Type ...

6450 - which do i believe ? Guys - 2 x 6450 - licensed and configured as per OP document - no issues I have a couple of different SFP+ cables 1) 10GTek - AOC SFP+ 20m fibre - as per here - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08TSZ5TH1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 2) No name 1m DAC SFP+...

Just wanted to ask - can the 4 ports on the back of the 6610 all be used as 40GB for NIC attachment - or do the breakout ports have to be used as breakout ports I still have not managed to solve my problem with the disabling of ports in ESXi when i make VLAN changes - but by using 40GB NICs i...

I do not believe there are any known issues with those NICs. I have just setup my Mellanox CX354 (single port) with a 40GB QSFP cable straight into 1/2/1 and 1/2/6 and had no problems. Craig

Post your switch config again - i have not used the 40G ports (but am about to when my cables arrive) - is there anything special that needs to be done to put them into 40Gb mode instead of stacking mode ? Craig

I have the Dell customised version if that helps ? Craig

Good one - thanks for letting us know Craig

OK well we would expect the serial cable to work - just confirming is it a DB9 serial or a USB Serial ? Forgive me for asking - but you are plugging it into the correct (serial/console) management port - not the LAN management port (as they are both RJ45) DO you have any other apps on your...

So have you reset this switch and followed the OP to set it up - or is this one you have inherited with unknown settings ? Try the base firmware reload from scratch - assuming a restart gives you something to work with and allows you into the initial boot screen. Have you looked at flow...

thanks - will follow that and your advice above Craig

Cheers mate - much appreciated. No stacking ports per se on the 6450 - i think they are really designed to be closet switches on the edge of the network - cabled back through 10GB to a central 6610 etc Craig

I guess an extension of this question - if i have 2 x 6450 - do i just connect them together through the front SFP+ ports with a DAC and all done ? Craig

1) The Speed/Duplex settings are meaningless on the 1/2/1 to 1/2/10 ports so they accept the commands but do nothing with them (and do not store in the config - so you are good there 2) Dynamic LACP is a bit hit and miss between vendors - maybe go for static and see how you go 3) You should...

No it is not performance issue (within reason) but it can become a security issue - how big a one is really up to you to decide. The issue is that everything starts out all good - and then you get complacement and don't start applying updates and/or you are not a security professional so do not...

Well you are dealing with enterprise level gear so there will be a steep learning curve to scale if you have not worked with this type of equipment before - or at least had exposure to similar network gear and concepts. Craig
