Idle consumption measured at wall socket with stock settings and without any additional hardware (one nvme...

    Rockus ICX7250-24P Fan mod

    With the 120 mm fan are you blowing air into the unit or sucking air out? Was is possible to place the fan on the inside of the cover instead of the outside?

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

    I'm in the same situation. I have 3x 40mm mechatronics in the back and a 20mm on the asic cooler. Still after some time they will spin up. My conclusion is to go for 80mm fans in order to reach acceptable noise and cooling. Another approach would be to take noctuas 40mm and always run them on...

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

    I have a juniper ex3300 24P running for several years with noctuas. It is dead silent appart from the regular white noise. You just pop them in and run. What you can do on the 7250 is to run noctuas with an additional arduino/esp etc which will basically make the noctua to run full speed...

    I do like the webgui in 09. Even though you configure and use the cli, it is nice to have a webui to get an overview. Another question is, my firmware update failed for the boot SH@beef1>show version Copyright (c) Ruckus Networks, Inc. All rights reserved. UNIT 1: compiled on Jan 12...

    Yes been through the documentation, and does not explicitly say recommended. And in case it is recommended over 09 I would like to know why. Anyways I'll try my luck on 09, have room for some trial, error and tinkering.

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

    What is the recommended firmware version? Running 08.0.95 currently, but tempted to install 09.0.10a before i start to set up everything. That way i will be able to test much more on 09, rather than configure everything in 08 and then later install 09. Any known issues with 09? 7250 48P

    My network is a mess, how can I make it better?

    Yes. Best practice to match subnet with vlan id. Ex: 192.168.10.0/24 vlan id 10 192.168.20.0/24 vlan id 20
