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

    In my opinion, if you want something robust, but don't want to be bothered, go buy something from Ubiquiti. This route was pretty good in that it was much cheaper and there's definitely satisfaction in getting it to all work! YMMV.

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

    Got'cha. I was hoping not to have to bother anyone--or at least to find a guide on how to do it with a license first before I bothered. Thank you though for letting me know that is the route to take! Much obliged!

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

    Sorry to sound dense, but I truly don't see it. It seems to require licensing, but other than that, I see no mention on the front page or the config guide on how to coax the other two ports into 10Gbps mode, though I fully admit I may have overlooked it.

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

    I have a ICX 6450-48P and I was hoping to enable the other two SFP+ ports for 10Gbps operation. Is this possible and, if so, what steps need to be taken?

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

    I did have to first resort to (more-or-less) following your instructions provided here because the bootloader and firmware were so old (circa 2012). After that, I was able to follow the guide! Thanks!

    Right. The first few posts provided a good hardware primer. I was just looking for something perhaps a bit more accessible than the manuals in order to get the basics up and running.

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

    I just bought a ICX6450-48P. Is there any sort of good 'getting started' guide out there? I just want to run it as a Level 2 switch with POE.
