    S600W VLAN Setup

    Well, to get an IP the computer on port 4 needs to be able to talk with opnsense. Port 4 is connected to vlan 30, how does VLAN 30 connect to opnsense? You need to add the port that connects to opnsense to VLAN 30. Probably as "tagged", meaning that you ask the switch to send packets tagged with...

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

    If I understand you correctly, you have two 6450 switches in your LAN and they are connected via a 10gb link. To simplify configuration and keep configurations in sync between these two switches the easiest way is to "stack" them. Once stacked, they work in unison and when connected to one...

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

    You need to pick the right fan for your model of ICX-6610, meaning rear or front exhausting. If you're not aware of the type of your model, the device should have a relatively large green sticker indicating the direction of the fan (E or I). The 1000W power supply supports POE. Search for these...

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

    Hahaha. That's what I was thinking writing all of that down. "Full of enthusiasm, but not very professional" - at work. I obviously arrived at the current state after failing at the initial attempts. Yes, in case of confirming connections are live. (I think) no, when validating that I test...

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

    No. That's really cool, but not the thing I try to solve. Lemme explain. I manage a somewhat suped-up home network, full of enthusiasm, but otherwise very not professional. It has multiple VLANs (say, one for untrustworthy IoT devices, one for management e.g. to prevent the kids hacking into...

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

    I want to provide a quick update on progress of my effort of enabling automated testing and deployment to ICX switches. At this point I have created scripts that test accessibility against an increasing number of end points on my home network and report success/fail for each VLAN. This provides...

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

    Looks good to me. Also, check if the show log command brings up anything related/useful. Next, I'd try connecting your AP using another cable, to another port, again monitoring activity with show log.

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

    Awesome. This, or rather something similar, is what I am looking for. Strictly speaking, you have a pull configuration, right? Or did you find a way to initiate the copy command from outside of the switch? I am looking for a push configuration, where I can develop in git and push configuration...

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

    I read both the manual as well a the command reference. Even in the last millennium it was pretty common for a paging app to adjust its behavior to terminal size and not be hard coded to 23 lines. If it did I think I'd not comment on it. But in 2023, where 4k displays are a common thing, a...

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

    Received my ICX6610 a couple of days ago. I actually invested in a "factory new" unit. Assumed benefit is a couple of years of less wear on fans and other components. It's quite surprising (to me) finding "factory new" unit after that model has officially been EOL'ed for 5 years. I do appreciate...

    In @fohdeesha 's zip file there is a folder called "ICX6xxx manuals". Look for the file called "fastiron-08030p-commandref.pdf". Look in document "fastiron-08030mb-l3guide.pdf" on page 46ff for "changing the MTU".

    I had the hardest time wrapping my head around the section above, probably because eBay listings have long since expired. Allow me to suggest the following links to add 8 additional 10gb LC ports in an additional 1U: Brocade XBR-000232 (~$7) QSFP MPO/MTP 8F to 4x LC Fiber Optic Breakout Cable...

    Is Linux-bench still being used?

    Sorry - noob trying out a new benchmark and getting stuck. https://linux-bench.com/ (65.19.142.21) seems to be down, while at least http://beta.linux-bench.com/index/ (65.19.142.18) is still up. The docker image fails as a result as it tries to download stuff from linux-bench.com...
