Hello all,
Haven't posted for a long time since the 6610 is running so well.
Just wondering, is there a way to make one of the 40G breakout ports just straight 40G like the "plain" 40G ports?
TY!
Not sure, but I don't think you need two PSU's in any of the 6610 models; they're for redundancy and don't split the load. If I'm wrong about this, someone please correct me.
We recently installed flexible conduit and pulled multimode fiber through the house. Currently using ICX 6610-24F in office (working on extensive fan mod) and very quiet Dell Powerconnect 5524's with Noctua fans in living room and bedroom. I have 2 or 3 Mellanox ConnectX-3 dual port QSFP cards...
This. We ended up running 1" Carlon ENT flexible conduit (smurf tube) and pulling multimode with cheap, quiet used Dell 5524's at the ends, with a 6610 in the office. Demands of 10G copper, such as near-perfect quality cabling, expensive transceivers and adapters, heat, etc. were deciding...
If you're not against used, Dell Powerconnect 55xx's, inexpensive, 2x SFP+ slots, separate stacking ports, 24 or 48 ethernet (POE available), decent L2 and light L3, low noise fans that can be replaced with even quieter ones.
Yep figured it would be over $50, didn't realize it would be that much. Part of the hobby I guess.
Acquired the 10G over time, then pulled fiber through the house and set quiet switches at the endpoints. Really like the 6610 capabilities, but it's rather noisy... Seemed to quiet it down...
I did consider the 7250, but the price of around $300 (compared to about $150 for 6610) was main reason. When buying used equipment for 24/7 home use, I usually purchase another similar or same model for a spare. I couldn't justify twice the cost for two 7250's.
I agree that modifying power...
Yes, but when I enter the command "stack unconfigure clean", I get the message "This command is not available on standalone or Active Controller".
When entering "show stack" it returns:
***** Warning! stack is not enabled. *****
T=18m55.0: alone: standalone, D: dynamic cfg, S: static
ID...
I noticed my second 6610 (48P) is showing stack ID 2 instead of 1, like the 24F. I don't want to stack the switches, so I would like to configure the 48P to be ID 1 also. No matter what I try, I can't seem to get this to take. When attempting some stack commands, it returns an error message that...
Yeah, that's why I want to stick with fabricated metal cover if possible.
Maybe see if the metal shop can make a couple of PSU covers with a bunch of holes; might help with EMI...
I'm going to take the cover or just entire unit to a metal shop and find out if they're willing to fabricate a new cover with 4x 140mm holes in square pattern. Since I have two 6610's, I considered having a shop cut holes in one of the covers, but really don't want to ruin either lid.
FWIW...
These switches are so heavy (especially with two PSU's and two fan sleds), I wouldn't recommend using only the ears to rack. There are rails out there; I think some Dell rails and/or ears work with the 6610.
Hello, I have another (quiet) Dell 5524 switch that can be used for copper lines until I can find enough (inexpensive?) 1GbE tranceivers. Going the external fan & acoustic material route for reducing 6610 noise.
Can the two 40G breakout ports be used as single 40G like the other two rear ports...
Yes, I noticed that, thank you. Looking forward to having more than enough 10G ports soon, and the two 40G ports are a bonus that can be put to use. Was reading that the other two QSFP ports can be "split" so that ports on the same link can be uplink or host, which is interesting. Be nice having...
Thank you, yes, I assumed I'd be experimenting with location, position, etc. Sometimes a strategic piece or 2 of acoustic material can do wonders. I mounted a Dell 5524 switch on the wall behind electronic shelves in living room with good results, even cooling is decent. That and a little 1U...
Hello All,
Wow quite the extensive thread. Starting to read through, but limited time... I found this item on the 'bay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brocade-ICX6610-24F-E-24-Port-1-GbE-SFP-8-1-GbE-SFPP-Switch/392965182155?hash=item5b7e8cd2cb:g:D9AAAOSwLMZfdj~c
It says there are 8x 1Gb ports, can...
If your raid card has the option, you could try putting it into "passthrough" or IT-mode then restart and see if the system can see the expander. If this doesn't work, you might need to find a cheap LSI-type card that has IT-mode firmware. I know you would be able to see the expander with that...
