    10Gb SFP+ RJ45 100m

    Good idea. I can do this on the Brocade easily. I cannot on the OPNsense because Mellanox support is not the greatest. Maybe there is a way, but I don't know how.

    10Gb SFP+ RJ45 100m

    I'll give it a shot, this is easy to do on either appliance.

    10Gb SFP+ RJ45 100m

    I just got two of the Wiitek 100m transceivers from Amazon USA. The first arrived and it was DOA. It does nothing in my Brocade ICX7450. It also does nothing in my OPNsense firewall with Mellanox CX312A, and this one connects to my modem which has an actual 10G RJ45 on it. So I got a second...

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

    Perhaps "S" means "pure sine wave" function. It could be that finicky.

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

    Doh, was looking at two threads at once!

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

    This is a industrial grade rack mount UPS, however it is quite old (I think retail on it was like $1500). It does have a " Simulated Sine Wave" function. It also runs "online double-conversion," so I honestly don't see how the ICX sees anything differently when AC is available from the wall or...

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

    I'm having an issue where my ICX7450-32ZP goes off during power loss when running on my UPS. This occurs during power outage or if I press the "test" button on the UPS. The UPS is a CPS1500AVR with two-year-old batteries and very few power cycles as we don't lose power here often (3-4 minutes...

    Anyone done a Brocade 6610 fan mod?

    I was thinking that too. The 6610’s have gotten cheap enough it may not be worth worrying about resale as much. You could always get a parts lid later if you ever want to sell it.

    Anyone done a Brocade 6610 fan mod?

    Buy a unit that is broken and being sold for parts. Then take its case like and put holes in it for fans.

    Ruckus Unleashed (R750) Questions

    Thank you for all the information. Makes sense that the second port is for adding wired clients. I didn't have any problems cross flashing to Unleashed, it was just SUPER easy through the CLI and the techniques provided using the GUI seemed cumbersome, so I tried a few quickly and then just...

    Ruckus Unleashed (R750) Questions

    Thanks for that. A friend of mine owns a large integration company in Chicago. I asked him today and he said no way. He said he has three R750's in his own house and they all do WiFi and have clients on them. Also has clients with up to fifteen R750's and all do Wifi. I think the key there...

    Ruckus Unleashed (R750) Questions

    I have a few questions as I just picked up two R705's. These are my first Ruckus/Brocade AP's so I am learning. Both are running Unleashed and I have them working with my ICX7450-32ZP switch. I may need a third access point for actual WiFi access. However, in my reading, Rucks says that if...

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

    Well, I'm glad I bought it. The $75 switch not only looks brand new, it actually has two ICX7400-4X10GF 4-port 10-Gigabit SFP+ modules in it! There is one in the back replacing a 40GbE output. I've had good luck on eBay lately I guess! I don't need all the switches I have: ICX6450-24P...

    ICX7450 or 6610 Fan Mod Metal Case Lid + PULSE Generator Roundup & Mods

    One more thing, you have me thinking. I run 10GbE optical to my unRAID server right now. I use it to serve media to the whole house (four of us) and it runs VM's that I use as my primary computer (I'm typing on a Windows 11 VM right now on it). I've never needed more than 10GbE, but using a...

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

    And now I just bought a second R750. I think two will cover our new house. I'm finished, but I won't swear to it ;)

    ICX7450 or 6610 Fan Mod Metal Case Lid + PULSE Generator Roundup & Mods

    I find the stock fans unbearable even at their lowest speed. That said I have sensitive hearing and the network rack is right next to my theater room now, and will be in a rack next to both my office and theater room in the new house. I can hear the stock switch through the wall even when the...

    ICX7450 or 6610 Fan Mod Metal Case Lid + PULSE Generator Roundup & Mods

    When I get all these I’ll post results with photos on my oscilloscope. We want about 650Hz and about a 50% duty cycle square wave. Arduino. I have this here but didn’t use it. Personally I think this is overkill and not needed for this job. All we need is a square wave with about a 50% duty...
