    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Try just '1000-full' instead of '1000-full-master'? Or is just '1000-full' not available on the 6610?

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    In UniFi you can assign a VLAN to a SSID and the AP will tag the traffic, so you do a trunk to the AP. For sanity, the trunk port default (untagged) VLAN should be the management VLAN, then tagged VLAN IDs for your client traffic.

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Yes, that's pretty much it. buy the official Ruckus cable or hack one together. If a previous owner plugged in a standard USB cable expecting a USB to serial UART on the far end, then they most likely burned it out completely since they would have hit the serial port with USB line voltage...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Looking at what you pasted, I don't see that you've added any ports to the VLAN as either tagged or untagged. I only have 7k series units, so my syntax is slightly different for trunking, but for a pure trunk port where you have may not need a default/native/untagged VLAN, the command should be...

    It’s general network advice: fixed infrastructure should be static IP so if DHCP fails in some way, you don’t lose your management access.

    Sorry missed that you did. What ports on the 6450 are connected? TFTP only works via the regular switch ports when the switch OS boots; TFTP only works via the management port when in the boot loader.

    If Windows, either add TFTPd to Windows Firewall or disable the firewall.

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    I have used NetSpot; I really should get a GPS receiver for my laptop to be able to map precisely. Good lord, Ekahau is expensive. Even if I had that kind of cash to throw around willy-nilly, I don't think I could convince myself to buy it for home use. If you're in the business of doing site...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    I have it pretty much completely on auto because of very noisy neighboring APs. Stable so far. I may do a wireless survey with Netspot this weekend to see what things are like with these replacing the much cheaper UAP-AC-PROs I had.

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    If you leave it on optimize for compatibility it won’t use any DFS channels, so you don’t have to lock it down. I have Channelfly for 5g and background for 2.4; both set to 300 second interval. Default was like 20.

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    I'm glad I got a pair of R650's to replace a pair of UniFi UAP-AC-PRO units. Even for my older AC only devices, still getting 3-4x throughput in the 5Ghz band and places in my house where devices were falling back to 2.4Ghz stay on 5Ghz. Running Unleashed just to get things up and running, but...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Transfer time is 4ms per spec which should be low enough. Maybe it’s taking slightly longer and the DC bricks have enough capacitance to not have a problem but the ICX trips? The frequency at which it’s happening, do you have logs of if/why the UPS is switching over? Like I know my APC units...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Failing RAM maybe? Would likely be very hard if not impossible to catch in logs given the way the whole system is run from memory and virtually nothing is written back to the NAND storage. I don't know if that SODIMM look module is actual replaceable RAM or something else.

    Help Me Pick New APs (Aruba vs Ruckus)

    I wound up ordering a pair of R650's and mounting brackets; came in a bit cheaper than the AP-535 or 635 options; it'll be many years before I do enough equipment replacement to have enough 6ghz clients to justify the radios, and my Zigbee stuff is just lights (all Philips Hue ZLL) which the IoT...

    Help Me Pick New APs (Aruba vs Ruckus)

    Yeah. I use Aruba at work now, but I've also deployed Unleashed, so for me neither would be a completely new experience. And one of my UAP-AC-PROs up and died last night so I had to reposition the other one. This just went from "planning to do it" to "need to do it." May come down to a coin...

    Help Me Pick New APs (Aruba vs Ruckus)

    Well shoot, I see used Aruba AP-635 (RW, not US, triband) available for cheaper than the Ruckus R650, so that's a complication to my thinking. Not that I have any 6Ghz gear yet, but future proofing for cheaper than last gen is a tough call.

    Help Me Pick New APs (Aruba vs Ruckus)

    Yeah the vSZ comment towards the end of the current Unleashed thread has me interested, should I PM you for the details on that or a different user? More of a curiosity thing; I think given single site, 2 APs, no tunneling, and no intent to purchase a Ruckus IoT license, that Unleashed would do...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    You could use a keystone panel with RJ45 keystone couplers and that also gives you fiber and coax options as well. How much slack do you have on those cables as pictured? As far as an enclosure, because the ICX switches are F>R or R>F airflow, get one that mounts sideways, unless you get open...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    To be perfectly honest, if that enclosure is in an area where noise doesn't matter (too much or at all), I'd just get a 1 or 2U vertical or horizontal mount and hang the switch that way. Edit: here's an example of a 1u vertical from StarTech...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    ICX 6k series max version 8030; ICX 7k series supported through latest I believe. Web UI will have some differences; v9 is modernized. As far as L3 the differences will only matter if you’re planning on doing inter-VLAN routing on the switch.
