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

    out of interest is it possible to flash newer firmware on ICX6610? I'm so into ICX now that i'm bought a number of R710 APs running in unleashed mode. ICX 08.0.90 or later firmware is required to manage the switch though the Ruckus unleashed interface.

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

    Many thanks for the prompt reply - do you think I should go with ICX 6610-48 or ICX 6610-48P? I'm unsure if I should get rid of my PoE+ 24-port midspan. ICX 6610-48 non-POE version does have slightly higher MTBF and lower power consumption - I suppose this is a plus
