I took a chance on them today for two 6TB HGST drives that they say are "recertified." I doubt that, but I bet I will still get drives that are fine. I will qualify them for a week or two to make sure they're not garbage. If anyone has a good, simple qualification routine that exercises...
If you look at the bottom of the 3rd page, it says, "Two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with 802.3af/at PoE."
My understanding is that it can do a lower performance mode to be compatible with old switches (802.3af mode). I want high performance.
Anyone know how to get 802.3at working on the ICX-6450-48P? When I run "show inline power" I see that my Ruckus R700 WiFi Access Point is running in 802.3af mode, not 802.3at mode. It's definitely capable of 802.3at, but can fallback to 802.3af. I want it running at 802.3at. There are no...
Does anyone know why Brocade offers two different firmware images on these switches? I understand that one is layer 3 and one is layer 2, but why did this require two firmware images? If the layer 3 image includes all the layer 2 stuff, what's the purpose of the layer 2 image?
Updating my ICX 6450 to the latest firmware caused the idle fans to quiet WAY down. Seemed like the old stuff was from maybe 2012 - ugh. Prior to updating, the fans would be full speed when booting, then quiet down but still be audible from behind a closed closet door. After updating, it's...
In the ICX 6450 guide here one of the first steps is factory defaulting the switch at the boot prompt. But it doesn't seem to recognize this command. Any ideas?
ICX64XX-boot>> factory set-default
Unknown command 'factory' - try 'help'
Tested it at 10Gbps, communicating point-to-point with a Sonnet Solo 10G Thunderbolt 3 adapter through a Dell TB16 dock to a Dell XPS 15 9550. It's working great.
I just got into 10GbE hardware thanks to @fohdeesha and his great tip on the Brocade ICX switches. I got a Chelsio T520-CR 2-port NIC and am using it in my FreeNAS machine. I am happy to report that the Mikrotik S+RJ10 transceiver that I bought for use in the Brocade ICX switch also works in...
I'm a long-time lurker and wanted to jump out of the bushes to say thanks to @fohdeesha for sharing this with the community!
I do have a question on the ICX 6450 POE models. If I don't have a lot of POE devices, is there any reason to expect a significant power or noise penalty compared to the...
